is se pahle ki kisī ghaaT utāre jaate
ham hī betāb the ham muft meñ maare jaate
had idrāk se aage thī tire qurb kī shaam
DhūñDne tujh ko kahāñ chāñd-sitāre jaate
tū ne ḳhud apnī mohabbat kā bharam khol diyā
varna ham pās-e-muravvat meñ hī maare jaate
tujh se mansūb hue haiñ to ye hasrat hī rahī
ham kabhī apne havāle se pukāre jaate
saḳht pahra thā tire hāshiya-bardāroñ kā
ham vahāñ kis kī sifārish ke sahāre jaate
tū ne ḳhud halqa-e-amvāj se muñh moḌ liyā
duur tak varna tire saath kināre jaate
mish.aleñ ġham kī farozāñ thiiñ har ik ghar meñ 'salīm'
kis kī dahlīz pe ham dard ke maare jaate
