mehr o mahtab ko mere hi nishan jaanti hai
main kahan hun wo mari sarw-e-rawan jaanti hai

tum se ho kar hi to aai hai lahu tak mere
tum ko ye surkhi-e-jaan shola-rukhan jaanti hai

kaun apna hai samajhti hai khamoshi shab ki
ajnabi kaun hai aawaz-e-sagan jaanti hai

dil ko malum hai kya baat batani hai use
us se kya baat chhupani hai zaban jaanti hai

khak ko chhod ke jaana hamein manzur nahin
hum khas-o-khar nahin ju-e-tapan jaanti hai

tu kabhi khwahish-e-duniya nahin karne wala
mere abdal tujhe danish-e-jaan jaanti hai

mere pas aa ke bhi rahti hai gurezan mujh se
main na dubunga meri mauj-e-guman jaanti hai

is tarah ghurti rahti hai shab-o-roz mujhe
jaise duniya mere sab raaz-e-nihan jaanti hai
