zehaal-e-miskin makun tagaaful
duraaye naina banaaye batiyaan
ki taab-e-hijraan na daaram ai jaan
na lehu kaahe lagaaye chhatiyaan

chuun shamm-e-sozaan, chuun zarra hairaan
hamesha giriyaan, ba-ishq aan maah
na nind naina, na ang chaina
na aap hi aavein, na bhejein patiyaan

yakaayak az dil ba-sad farebam
bawurd-e-chashamash qaraar-o-taskin
kise padi hai jo ja sunaaye
pyaare pi ko hamaari batiyaan

shabaan-e-hijraan daraaz chuun zulf
varoz-e-wasalash chuun umr kotaah
sakhi piya ko jo main na dekhuun
to kaise kaatuun andheri ratiyaan
