Yeh aarzu thi tujhe gul ke ru-ba-ru karte, 
Ham aur bulbul-e-betab guftagu karte, 
Payam bar na mayassar hua to Khub hua, 
Zaban-e-Ghair se kya shar ki aarzu karte, 
Meri tarah se mah-o-mahar bhi hai'n aawara, 
Kisi habib ko yai bhi hai'n justaju karte, 
Jo dekhte teri zanjir-e-zulf ka aalam, 
Asir hone ke azad aarzu karte, 
Na puchh aalam-e-baragashta tali-e-"Atish", 
Barasti aag mai'n jo baran ki aaazu karte,
