jo uter k zina-e-sham se, teri chashm-e-khush main sama gaye,
wohi jaltay bhujtay chiraag se, mere baam-o-daar ko saja gye.
yeh ajeeb khael he pyar ka, maine aap daikha yeh mojza,
wo jo lafz mere ghumaan ma thay, wo teri zubaan pe a gye.
jo geet tum ne suna nai, meri umer bhar ka riyaaz tha,
mere dard ki thi wo dastaan, jisse tum hani ma uraa gye.
yeh jo bandagaan-e-niaz he, yeh he woi lashkari jinhe,
zindagi na amaan na di, to tere huzoor ma agye.
meri umer se na simat sakay, mere paas itne sawal thay,
tere paas jitne jwab thay, teri ik nigaah ma samaa gye.
