nazar nazar be-qarār sī hai nafas nafas meñ sharār sā hai

maiñ jāntā huuñ ki tum na aaoge phir bhī kuchh intizār sā hai

mire azīzo mire rafīqo chalo koī dāstān chheḌo

ġham-e-zamāna kī baat chhoḌo ye ġham to ab sāzgār sā hai

vahī fasurda sā rañg-e-mahfil vahī tirā ek aam jalva

mirī nigāhoñ meñ baar sā thā mirī nigāhoñ meñ baar sā hai

kabhī to aao kabhī to baiTho kabhī to dekho kabhī to pūchho

tumhārī bastī meñ ham faqīroñ kā haal kyuuñ sogvār sā hai

chalo ki jashn-e-bahār dekheñ chalo ki zarf-e-bahār jāñcheñ

chaman chaman raushnī huī hai kalī kalī pe nikhār sā hai

ye zulf-bar-dosh kaun aayā ye kis kī aahaT se gul khile haiñ

mahak rahī hai fazā-e-hastī tamām aalam bahār sā hai
