apanii tasviir ko aa.Nkho.n se lagaataa kyaa hai
ik nazar merii taraf bhii teraa jaataa kyaa hai
merii rusvaa_ii me.n wo bhii hai.n baraabar ke shariiq
mere qisse mere yaaro.n ko sunaataa kyaa hai
paas rah kar bhii na pahachaan sakaa tuu mujhako
duur se dekh ke ab haath hilaataa kyaa hai
umr bhar apane girebaa.N se ulajhane waale
tuu mujhe mere hii saaye se Daraataa kyaa hai
mai.n teraa kuchh bhii nahii.n huu.N magar itanaa to bataa
dekh kar mujhako tere zahan me.n aataa kyaa hai
% not in the version I heard
safar-e-shauq me.n kyuu.N kaa.Npate hai.n paa.Nv tere
duur se dekh ke ab haath hilaataa kyaa hai
mar gaye pyaas ke maare to uThaa abr-e-karam
bujh ga_ii bazm to ab shammaa jalaataa kyaa hai
