sayyaad dam-e-zulf se mujh ko riha kare
wo din tamam umr na aae khuda kare

le de ke rah gaya hai yahi ek aasra
aisa kabhi na ho ki wo tark-e-wafa kare

mujh be-nawa ke naz uthae wo naznin
sultan aur kawish-e-qurb-e-gada kare

daman-e-bu-e-kakul-e-shab rang chhod de
ya rab kabhi ye zulm na baad-e-saba kare

jis ke maraz pe sehat-e-alam nisar ho
kis tarah wo mariz dua-e-shifa kare

but jis pe multafit ho ba-hadd-e-supurdagi
zindiq hai agar wo khuda se dua kare

umr-e-daraaz o pukhtagi-e-fikr-e-nukta-sanj
kahti hai kham kaam mujhe han kaha kare

us ru-e-dil-nashin pe nigahen jami rahin
fariyaad kar rahi hai basirat ki kya kare

ab dam-e-husn-o-ishq se niklun na ta-ba marg
ghar jal raha hai aql-e-rasa ka jala kare

hikmat namak-haram hun be-shak tera magar
jis par pade ye waqt wo bechaara kya kare

ya rab hisar-e-najd se ab uth sake na 'josh'
yunan de raha hai duhai diya kare
