Rahey ho sanam arsh-sey jagmagaatey!

Kahaan chhup gaye ho, nazar aatey-aatey?

Kahaan hain uyoonoun key jorhey hazaaroun;

Ki, ham aapkey husn ko deykh paatey?

Mukhaatib huye ho nahin eik pal bhee;

Miley, go ki, khwaaboun mein jab-tab jagaatey?

Rah-e-ishq hai: aazmaayogey kitney?

Kabhee, kaash, ahaley wafaa aazmaatey?

Tumhaarey binaa mein jiyaa huun akeylaa:

Na aanaa thaa gar, to, hamain hee bulaatey!

Dahar chuk na jaaye, rahuun muntazir mein?

Rahogey, kaho, hashra tak kyaa sataatey?

Bahut deyr sey mein kharhaa hun kinaarey,

Ki, deykhoon to us paar kyoun log jaatey?

kyoun bahaaneyn banaayegaa? Deykho,

Wahee thak gaye hain pilaatey-pilaatey!
