ze-haal-e-miskin makun taghaful durae nainan banae batiyan
ki tab-e-hijran nadaram ai jaan na lehu kahe lagae chhatiyan

shaban-e-hijran daraaz chun zulf o roz-e-waslat chun umr-e-kotah
sakhi piya ko jo main na dekhun to kaise katun andheri ratiyan

yakayak az dil do chashm jadu ba-sad-farebam ba-burd taskin
kise padi hai jo ja sunawe piyare pi ko hamari batiyan

chun sham-e-sozan chun zarra hairan z mehr-e-an-mah bagashtam aakhir
na nind nainan na ang chainan na aap aawe na bheje patiyan

ba-haqq-e-roz-e-visal-e-dilbar ki dad mara gharib 'khusraw'
sapit man ke warae rakhun jo ja ke paun piya ki khatiyan
