Mujhsa na de zamaane ko, parvardigaar dil
Aashufta dil, fareefta dil, beqaraar dil

Nikle meri bagal se woh aisi tadap ke saath,
Yaad aayega mujhe wohi be-ikhtiyaar dil

Har baar maangti hain naya chashm-e-yaar dil,
Ik dil ko kis tarha se banaaun hazaar dil

Karte ho ehd-e-vasl to itna rahe khayaal,
Paimaan se zyaada hai napaayedaar dil

Aalam hua tamaam, raha ussko shauq-e-zor,
Barsaaye aasmaan se parvardigaar dil

Pehle pehel ki chaah ka kije na imtehaan,
Aana to seekh le abhi do chaar baar dil

Mashhoor hain sikandar-o-jaam ki nishaaniyaan,
chhod jaayenge hum yaadgaar dil
