ab bhala chhor ke ghar kya karte

shaam ke vaqt safar kyaa karte


terii masruufiyateN jaante the

apne aane kii Khabar kyaa karte


jab sitaare hii nahiiN mil paaye

le ke ham shams-o-qamar kyaa karte


vo musaafir hii khulii dhuup kaa thaa

saaye phailaa ke shajar kyaa karte

Khaak hii avval-o-aaKhir thahrii

kar (?) ke zarre ko gauhar kyaa karte


raaye pehle se hii banaa lii tuune

dil meN ab ham tere ghar kyaa karte

ishq ne saare saliiqe bakhshe

husn se kasb-e-hunar kyaa karte
