sar bhi bhaari hai dil bhi bhaari hai
be-qarari si be-qarari hai

aasman par sitare hain raushan
kaisi qudrat ki dast-kari hai

pyas ne aaj kar diya sabit
zaiqa aansuon ka khaari hai

aap jis ko na sun sake ab tak
bas wahi dastan hamari hai

raat ke ba'd subh ka aana
silsila ye azal se jari hai

aaj-kal ke sharif-zadon mein
saf goi na inkisari hai

aap hindi zaban pe shaida hain
hum ko urdu zaban pyari hai

bhes badle hue na ho 'gauhar'
aap ke dar pe jo bhikari hai
