vo najron se meree nazar kaatataa hai
muhabbat kaa pahalaa asar kaatataa hai

mujhe ghar main bhee chain padataa nahee thaa
safr men hoon ab to safr kaatataa hai

ye maan kee duaaen hifaajt karengee
ye taabeej sab kee nazar kaatataa hai

ye firakaa-parasatee ye nafarat kee aandhee
padosee, padosee kaa sar kaatataa hai

tumhaaree jafaa pe main gazalen kahoongaa
sunaa hai hunar ko hunar kaatataa hai
