teri jabin pe meri subh ka sitara hai
tera wajud meri zat ka ujala hai

harif-e-partaw-e-mahtab hai jamal tera
kuchh aur lagta hai dilkash jo dur hota hai

mere yaqin ki masumiyat ko mat toko
meri nigah mein har naqsh ek tamasha hai

nazar to aae koi rah zindagani ki
tamam aalam-e-imkan ghubar-e-sahra hai

na aarzu se khula hai na justuju se khula
ye husn-e-raaz jo har shai mein kar-farma hai

gham-e-hayat raha hai hamara gahwara
ye hum se puchh dil-e-dard aashna kya hai

charagh le ke use dhundne chala hun main
jo aaftab ki manind ek ujala hai

jo hum ko bhul gae un ko yaad kyun kije
tamam raat koi chupke chupke kahta hai

kahan kahan liye phirti hai zindagi ab tak
main us jagah hun jahan dhup hai na saya hai
