Na to berukhi ka gilaa mujhe na hee chahato.n ka sawal hai,
mujhe aaj tak na samaaj sakah baas iska hee to malaal hai,

Ye mohabatei.n ye rafaqtei.n meri kayinaat ki saans hai.n,
diya nafraatto.n ki hawa may aab jo jalaah hai ye to mahaal hai,

Meri washaatei.n hi na kaam huei.n meri khalwatei.n hi na chup huei.n,
kisay kya khabar ye dewanapan meri khwahisho.n ka kamal hai,

Kabhi chaand neklay jo raat may to ye reh-guzaar say chamaak utay,
jo mein khush-namaa bhi kabhi lagoo.n to usi ka aks-e-jamaal hai,

Dil-e-dasht may jo chaali hawaah to wo layi gaihr kay ye ghaataah,
jo shaajaar tha kabsay khizaa.n asaar wohi baresho.n mei.n nahaal hai.
