meri zulfen nahin kali ghata hain
meri peshani hai mahtab jaisi

meri aankhen kanwal ki pankhudi hain
mere lab hain gulabon se mushabah

mere galon mein hai lali shafaq ki
meri gardan surahi-dar dekho

meri bahen hain misl-e-shakh-e-sandal
badan mera hai lala-zar dekho

adaon mein meri jadugari hai
meri hasti mukammal shairi hai

hawas ke maro mein bazar mein hun
gul-e-tar hun pa nok-e-khar mein hun

mere husn-o-jawani ke munasib
lagaw dam aur mujh ko kharido

ki har surat ada karna hai mujh ko
kisi biwi ki lachaari ka qarza

kisi shauhar ki bimari ka qarza
