ai mere aansu kabhi be-kar ho jata hai tu
aur kabhi daman pe ban jata hai ek naqsh-e-wafa

teri qimat kuchh nahin rahti hai nazron mein kabhi
aur kabhi ho jata hai ganj-ha-e-be-baha

parwarish pata hai tu qalb-e-hazin mein is tarah
jis tarah chashm-e-sadaf mein gauhar-e-sarmaya-dar

tere sine mein hain pinhan raaz-ha-e-ranj-o-gham
tu hai pichhli kaif-parwar sohbaton ka yaadgar

tu kabhi ban jata hai phulon mein qatra os ka
aur kabhi tarik baadal mein sitare ki ziya

jalwa-gar hota hai tu bijli ke pahlu mein kabhi
aur kabhi tu khud hi ban jata hai shoala qahr ka

dekh kar tujh ko kabhi hota hai sina gham se shaq
aur kabhi aankhon mein ban jata hai tu wajh-e-nashat

tarjuman-e-haal-e-dil hai gham ki khamoshi mein tu
ek samundar hai agar hasil ho tujh ko imbisat

tu hi mazlumon ki fariyaadon ka hai fariyaad-ras
gham ke shoalon ko bujha deta hai dil mein aa ke tu

khatm ho jati hai kulfat teri tughyani ke sath
naghma-e-ishrat suna deta hai dil mein aa ke tu
