Udas dil ki veraniyon men bikhar gay hen gulab sary,

ye meri basti se kon guzra nikhar gay hen gulab sary,

wo door tha to haqeeqaton par saraab ka ik guman sa tha,

wo paas hai to gumaan hai k haqeqten hen saraab sary,

najane kitni shikaytain thin najane kitny gilay thay un say,

jo un ko dekha to bhool bathey swal sary jawab sary,

jo wo na hota to kis tarah meri soch ko phir haroof milte,

bas 1 hi zat ne diye hen kitaab ko meri baab saray.
