hai vahii kashtii puraani hai vahii dariyaa meraa
jis pe tu aane na paaya hai vahii rastaa meraa

main mirii masrufiyat se tang aa jaata hooñ dost
mujh ko seene se laga ke waqt kar zaayaa' meraa

apni vehshat ka taqaza dhoondhta hooñ dar-b-dar
le gaya hai kohkan jis roz se tesha meraa

yaad kar कूचा-नवर्दी,yaad kar ulfat ke din
yaad kar baatein mirii aur yaad kar chehra meraa

jab hawaaein thak gaiin theen koshishein kar dasht men
ret tab raksaan hui thii choom kar saaya meraa

baarishon ko mausamon ka khel sab kahte hain par
ro pade the abr-paare jaan kar qissa meraa

aankh vo hansati rahi to khil uthe sukhe gulaab
aankh vo rone lagii to ro pada sehra meraa

khusrawan-e-shehr main ho jaaunga ik lams se
aur faqat ik deed se bhar jaayega kaasa meraa

main kitaabon ke jahaan ka ek khushqismat kitaab
naav bacchon ne banaya faad kar safha meraa
us nazar ko khwahishon ka shauq de meraa khyaalus jabeen ko raushni deta rahe bosa meraa

main musalsal band karta hooñ magar phir dam-b-dam
yaad uski kholti jaati hai darwaaza meraa
