rut meri basti ko is darja bhi barani na de
shahr-e-dil ke sabza-zaron ko ye virani na de

mil nahin pata kabhi phulon se ghunchon se mizaj
yun mahak bhi apni un ko raat-ki-rani na de

khud-kalami karni hai khud se hi sargoshi mujhe
ab koi surat mujhe jaani ya anjaani na de

sim-gun khwabon ko le kar ho na sar-gardan kabhi
is kharabe par to apni jaan ai jaani na de

be-niyazi hi teri hasil mohabbat ka sahi
chashm-e-hairat ko to phir bhi dard ka pani na de

tutte hi nashsha-e-ulfat na rah jaen khuli
chashm-e-ummid-e-karam ko aisi hairani na de

chand hi kya kahkashaen bhi karen aa kar tawaf
us pari-paikar ko aisa husn-e-la-sani na de

narm-o-nazuk paudh kumhla jaegi itna to soch
in jadon ko apni nafrat ka to ye pani na de
