na ehtijaj na aawargi mein dekh mujhe
jo ho sake to meri raushni mein dekh mujhe

gul-e-hawas bhi hai shakh-e-visal ka hissa
charagh-e-lala ki taza kali mein dekh mujhe

wazahaton se tu kuchh bhi samajh na paega
kabhi ghubar kabhi tirgi mein dekh mujhe

faza-e-yaad mein tabdiliyan nahin hotin
jadid shakhs purani gali mein dekh mujhe

sitara tab zamane ki yaadgar hun main
kisi malal na sharmindagi mein dekh mujhe

main ek bund sar-e-nok-e-khar-e-sahra hun
tulu-e-subh-e-dam-e-akhiri mein dekh mujhe

mere bayan ke jah-o-jalal par mat ja
mere khayal ki pas-mandagi mein dekh mujhe
