Sham ke sanwale chehre ko nikhara jaye, 
kyo'n na sagar se koi chand ubhara jaye, 
Raas aya nahi taskin ka sahil koi, 
phir mujhe pyas ke dariya may utara jaye, 
Meharaban teri nazar, teri adaye'n qatil, 
tujhko kis naam se ai dost pukara jaye, 
Mujhko dar hai tere wade pe bharosa karke, 
muft may ye dil e khush faham na mara jaye, 
Jiske dam se tere din rat darakhshan the "qateel", 
kaise ab us ke bina waqt guzara jaye.
