tark un se rasm-o-rāh-e-mulāqāt ho ga.ī
yuuñ mil ga.e kahīñ to koī baat ho ga.ī
dil thā udaas ālam-e-ġhurbat kī shaam thī
kyā vaqt thā ki tum se mulāqāt ho ga.ī
ye dasht-e-haul-ḳhez ye manzil kī dhun ye shauq
ye bhī ḳhabar nahīñ ki kahāñ raat ho ga.ī
rasm-e-jahāñ na chhūT sakī tark-e-ishq se
jab mil ga.e to pursish-e-hālāt ho ga.ī
ḳhū bū rahī sahī thī jo mujh meñ ḳhulūs kī
ab vo bhī nazr-e-rasm-e-ināyāt ho ga.ī
dilchasp hai 'salīm' hikāyat tirī magar
ab so bhī jā ki yaar bahut raat ho ga.ī
