wo ru-e-kitabi to hai quran hamara
kahte hain jise ishq hai iman hamara

hathon ki shikayat hai hamein dasht-e-junun mein
panw mein ulajhta hai gareban hamara

har subh dikhata hai hamein jalwa pari ka
baala-e-hawa-dar sulaiman hamara

hain mardum-e-gham-dida ke danton ki tarah band
misl-e-dahan-e-nang hai zindan hamara

hum khana-kharabon se mile kya koi aa kar
darwaza-e-uftada hai darban hamara

rahta hai hamein dhyan tumhaara hi hamesha
tum ko nahin aata hai kabhi dhyan hamara

aa jae abhi jaan mein jaan aao agar tum
tan hijr mein be-jaan hai ai jaan hamara

be-khatke tawahhush mein na kyun daudte phiriye
pahlu mein hai be-khar bayaban hamara

li jaan khuda ne kisi but ne na kiya qatl
nikla na dam-e-marg bhi arman hamara

li hum ne bala apne hi sar sab ko bachaya
ai jaan hai aghyar pe ehsan hamara

har bait mein ek shahid-e-mani ki hai taswir
'nasikh' hai muraqqa nahin diwan hamara
