prem pujari dil ko mere tohfa ye anmol diya
us ne chahat ke pyale mein wish nafrat ka ghol diya

kaisi qasmen kaise wade aur kaisa paiman-e-wafa
pyar ko mere daulat ki mizan pe us ne taul diya

kab tak tanha tanha jite kab tak dil ko samjhate
jism se apne bandha tha jo sans ka bandhan khol diya

is se achchha tha bik jate hum bhi sasti qimat mein
hum ne apna fan duniya ko be-bhaw be-mol diya

aahen aansu yas kasak be-tabi-e-dil aur mahrumi
mere dilbar ne mujh ko ye mere dil ka mol diya

galiyon galiyon shahron shahron kis ne aag lagai hai
bughz-o-nafrat ka duniya ko kis ne ye mahaul diya

dil mein ek halchal si bapa hai nas nas mein haijaan 'salim'
jaane kis ne kan mein aa ke khushiyon ka ras ghol diya
