vo nigah dil pe paḌī daaġh jigar ke hote

dikhā.ī talvār sadā afsos sipar ke hote

ka.aba-o-dair ko apnā to yahīñ se hai salām

dar-ba-dar kaun phire yaar ke dar ke hote

terī āñkhoñ ke tasavvur meñ hai sair-e-kaunain

varna ham log idhar ke na idhar ke hote

ham ko 'mārūf' agar sher savārī detā

to bhī pā-bos-e-sag-e-yār utar ke hote
