Ab bhalaa chhoR ke ghar kyaa karte
Shaam ke vaqt safar kyaa karte

Terii masruufiyyateN jaante haiN
Apne aane kii Khabar kyaa karte

Jab sitaare hii nahiiN mil paaye
Le ke ham shams-O-qamar kyaa karte

Vo musaafir hii khulii dhuup kaa thaa
Saaye phailaa ke shajar kyaa karte

Khaak hii avval-O-aaKhir Thahrii
Kar ke zarre ko guhar kyaa karte

Raa’e pahle se banaa lii tuune
Dil meN ab ham tere ghar kyaa karte

Ishq ne saare saliiqe bakhshe
Husn se kasb-E-hunar kyaa karte
