*Apni ruswai main terey naam ka charcha dekhoun *
*Aik zara sher kahoun aur kiya kiya dekhoun *
*Neend ajayetu kiya mehfilen berpa dekhoun *
*Ankh khul gaye tu tenhayi ka sehra dekhoun *
*Sham bhi ho gayi dhunla gayi ankhen meri *
*Bhoolney waley’ kab tak tera rusta dekhoun *
*Ik ik kerkey chor gayen sab sukhyan *
*Ag main khud ko teri yaad main tanha dekhoun *
*Kash sandal sey meri mang ujaley aker *
*Itney gheron main’ wahi hath apna dekhoun *
*Tu mera kuch nahin lugta mager jan-e-hayat *
*Janey kiun terey liye dill ko dherkta dekhoun *
*Band kerkey meri ankhen shrarat sey *
*Bhoojey janey ka main her rooz tamasha dekhoun *
*Sab zidden main usski puri keroun’her baat suno *
*Aik bachey ki terhan us ko hansta dekhoun *
*Muj pey chah jaye bersat ki khusboo ki terhan *
*Ung ung main uski ruut main mehkta dekhoun *
*Phool ki terhan merey jism ka her lub khul gaye *
*Pankhri pankhri un hoton ka saya dekhoun *
*Main ney jis lamhey ko pooja hai’ aik bar *
*Khuwab ban ker teri ankhon amin uterta dekhoun *
*Tu meri terhan yakta hai aye merey habeeb ! *
*Jee main ata hai’koi aur bhi tuj sa dekhoun *
*Tootjayen key pighal gayen merey kachey gharey *
*Tujh ko main dekhoun ya aggh ka derya dekhoun *
