hai teri hi kaenat ji mei.n

ji tujh se hai teri zat ji mei.n

tu ne kiya qatl go ba-zillat

samjha mai.n ise najat ji mei.n

kyu.n gham ye mujhi pe mehrba.n hai

sab shad hai.n zi-hayat ji mei.n

is tang-dahan ke sukhan par

ya.n guzre hai.n so nikat ji mei.n

har-dam ba-hazar jalwa-e-nau

dekhu.n hu.n teri sifat ji mei.n

dam aankho.n mei.n aa raha hai 'jurat'

guzre hai ye aaj raat ji mei.n

aa jawe to haal-e-dil suna le.n

rah jae na ji ki baat ji mei.n
