Neend ajayetu kiya mehfilen berpa dekhoun
Ankh khul gaye tu tenhayi ka sehra dekhoun

Sham bhi ho gayi dhundla gayi ankhen meri
Bhoolney waley’ kab tak tera rusta dekhoun

Ik ik kerkey chor gayen sab sukhiyan
Ag main khud ko teri yaad main tunha dekhoun

Kash sandal sey meri mang ujaley aker
Itney gheron main’ wahi hath apna dekhoun

Tu mera kuch nahin lugta mager jan-e-hayat
Janey kiun terey liye dill ko dherkta dekhoun

Band kerkey meri ankhen shrarat sey
Bhoojey janey ka main her rooz tamasha dekhoun

Sab zidden main usski puri keroun’her baat suno
Aik bachey ki terhan us ko hansta dekhoun

Muj pey chah jaye bersat ki khusboo ki terhan
Ung ung main uski ruut main mehkta dekhoun

Phool ki terhan merey jism ka her lub khul gaye
Pankhri pankhri un hoton ka saya dekhoun

Main ney jis lamhey ko pooja hai’ aik bar
Khuwab ban ker teri ankhon main uterta dekhoun

Tu meri terhan yakta hai aye merey habeeb !
Jee main ata hai’koi aur bhi tuj sa dekhoun

Tootjayen key pighal gayen merey kachey gharey
Tujh ko main dekhoun ya aggh ka derya dekhoun
