asnām-e-māl-o-zar kī parastish sikhā ga.ī
duniyā mujhe bhī ābid-e-duniyā banā ga.ī
vo sañg-e-dil mazār-e-vafā par ba-nām-e-ishq
aa.ī to mere naam kā patthar lagā ga.ī
mere liye hazār tabassum thī vo bahār
jo āñsuoñ kī raah pe mujh ko lagā ga.ī
gauhar-farosh shabnamī palkoñ kī chhāñv meñ
kyā aag thī jo ruuh ke andar samā ga.ī
mere suḳhan kī daad bhī us ko hī dījiye
vo jis kī aarzū mujhe shā.ir banā ga.ī
'sahbā' vo raushnī jo bahut mehrbān thī
kyuuñ mere rāste meñ añdhere bichhā ga.ī
