āmāj-gāh-e-tīr-e-sitam kaun ham ki aap
phir pūchhte haiñ aap se ham kaun ham ki aap
dil husn par nisār to kar duuñ bajā durust
jhelegā is ke ba.ad sitam kaun ham ki aap
duniyā se uTh chukā thā mohabbat kā e'tibār
qaa.em kiye hue hai bharam kaun ham ki aap
donoñ ne ittihād kī koshish zarūr kī
lekin rahā nibāh meñ kam kaun ham ki aap
roz-e-jazā jo dād-talab hoñge dād-ḳhvāh
us din karegā uzr-e-sitam kaun ham ki aap
tūfān-e-ashk-e-'nūh' kā ruknā muhāl hai
anjām de ye kār-e-aham kaun ham ki aap
