meri taraf teri uthti nigah thodi hai
tere gurez mein ab ishtibah thodi hai

charagh jalte rahenge hawa baghaur ye sun
hunar pe tujh ko abhi dastgah thodi hai

hai ek ishq se aamez raste ka safar
zara si dur ba-tarz-e-nibah thodi hai

jaza-saza se kahin mawara hai mera amal
ye kar-e-ishq musalsal gunah thodi hai

koi makin nahin kar sake sukunat-e-khas
hamara dil abhi aisa tabah thodi hai

hawaen aur shajar aur tairan-e-khayal
ek aasman hamara gawah thodi hai

ab us ke baad safar parak-e-tahayyur hai
bata raha hun tumhein intibah thodi hai
