use kyun hum ne diya dil jo hai be-mehri mein kaamil jise aadat hai jafa ki
jise chidh mehr-o-wafa ki jise aata nahin aana gham-o-hasrat ka mitana jo sitam mein hai yagana

jise kahta hai zamana but-e-be-mahr-o-dagha-baz jafa-pesha fusun-saz sitam-khana-bar-andaz
ghazab jis ka har ek naz nazar fitna mizha tir bala zulf-e-girah-gir gham-o-ranj ka bani qalaq-o-dard

ka mujib sitam-o-jaur ka ustad jafa-kari mein mahir jo sitam-kesh-o-sitam-gar jo sitam-pesha hai
dilbar jise aati nahin ulfat jo samajhta nahin chahat jo tasalli ko na samjhe jo tashaffi ko na

jaane jo kare qaul na pura kare har kaam adhura yahi din-raat tasawwur hai ki nahaq
use chaha jo na aae na bulae na kabhi pas bithae na rukh-e-saf dikhae na koi

baat sunae na lagi dil ki bujhae na kali dil ki khilae na gham-o-ranj ghatae na rah-o-rasm
badhae jo kaho kuchh to khafa ho kahe shikwe ki zarurat jo yahi hai to na chaho jo na

chahoge to kya hai na nibahoge to kya hai bahut itrao na dil de ke ye kis kaam ka dil
hai gham-o-andoh ka mara abhi chahun to main rakh dun ise talwon se masal kar abhi munh

dekhte rah jao ki hain un ko hua kya ki inhon ne mera dil le ke mere hath se khoya
