khush hotee hai jab sunatee hai bachchon kee kilakaaree maa.
shukr hai rab ka rab ne bakhashee hamako aisee pyaaree maa.

neend se uth kar mainne dekha itana pyaar khuda ke baad.
so jaate hain bachche to karatee hai paharedari maa.

doodh kee soorat khoon pilaakar toone mujh ko paala hai.
sach kahata hoon mujh se na hogee teree dil aazaaree maa.

bhaee bahan sab phool ke jaise kal bhee the aur aaj bhee hain.
unake beech nazar aatee hai ik mahakee phulavaaree maa.

jisaka beta naalaayak hai, dekha hai in aakhon ne.
shahar kee galiyon mein phiratee hai usakee bhaaree maaree maa.

hae meree kismat ke lamhe jab phaake se guzare the.
mere saath rahee dukh-sukh mein par nahin himmat haaree maa.

bete aur bahoo ne anjum usapar kitana julm kiya.
kaun sunega kisase bole aakhir ik dukhiyaaree maa.

rag-e-nigah mein nashtar chubho ke uttha hun
dayar-e-zist shikasta-nuqush se pur hai

magar nigah ko hai ishq dasht-e-imkan se
meri nigah mein takmil ka yaqin na sahi [...]

utarta jata hai rag rag mein zahr-e-naumidi
nazar ko milti hai har samt naqsh naqsh mein yas

dil-o-dimagh ka aalam sukut se pur hai
wo intiha ki khamoshi ka pahra hai jis par [...]

wo jis maqam pe kal the usi pe aaj hain hum
mere habibo jawan-raat kis qadar thi hasin

ye mere naqsh-e-qadam meri rah mere safar
mere khayal meri justuju meri hasrat [...]
