Apni ruswai tere nam ka charcha dekhun

Apni ruswai tere nam ka charcha dekhun
Ek zara sher kahun aur main kya kya dekhun,

Neend a jaye to kya mahfilen barpa dekhun
Ankh khul jaye to tanhai ka sahra dekhun,

Sham bhi ho gai dhundhala gai ankhen bhi meri
Bhulnewale main kab tak tera rasta dekhun,

Sab ziden us ki main puri karun har bat sunun
Ek bache ki tarah se use hansta dekhun,

Mujh pe cha jaye wo barsat ki khushbu ki tarah
Ang ang apna usi rut main mahakta dekhun,

Tu meri tarah se yakta hai magar mere habib
Ji main ata hai koi aur bhi tujh sa dekhun,

Main ne jis lamhe ko puja hai use bas ek bar
Khwab ban kar teri ankhon main utarta dekhun,

Tu mera kuch nahin lagta hai magar jan-e-hayat
Jane kyon tere liye dil ko dharakta dekhun.
