rahm kar o bad-guman-e-arzu
lut raha hai karwan-e-arzu

hoshiyar o bad-guman-e-arzu
jag uthe ab khuftagan-e-arzu

rang lai hai fughan-e-arzu
munfail hai ab wo jaan-e-arzu

kya kiya tu ne fughan-e-arzu
kar diye zahir nishan-e-arzu

rukh bhi ab karte nahin manzil ki samt
thak gae aazurdagan-e-arzu

un ki aankhon mein bhi aansu aa gae
sun ke meri dastan-e-arzu

thartharai hai jabin-e-ashiqi
samne hai aastan-e-arzu

dil hi dil mein hae re aadab-e-husn
kah raha hun dastan-e-arzu

bekasi nazron se teri aashkar
mera chehra tarjuman-e-arzu

aap kyon giryan hain mere haal par
aur lije imtihan-e-arzu

meri surat dekh kar wo ro diye
ho gai sharh-e-nihan-e-arzu
