lafz be-jaan hain mere ruh-e-maani mujhe de
apni takhliq se tu koi nishani mujhe de

tera bhi nam rahe main bhi amar ho jaun
aisa unwan koi aisi kahani mujhe de

chal rahi hai badi shiddat se yahan sard hawa
mujh ko bujhne se bacha soz-e-nihani mujhe de

ye hasin ped ye khushbu meri kamzori hai
din ka sab mal tera raat ki rani mujhe de

mera mushkil hai safar tere sahaare ke baghair
rukne lag jaun agar main to rawani mujhe de

is qadar dhandli achchhi nahin umr-e-rafta
mera bachpan na sahi meri jawani mujhe de

mujhe andesha hai is bhid mein auron ki tarah
tu bhi kho jaega apna koi sani mujhe de

'ram' har ek ke malik se guzarish hai to ye
saf lahja mujhe de sada-bayani mujhe de
