Yeh aarzoo thi tujhe gul ke ru-ba-ru karte
Hum aur bul-bul-e-betaab guftagu karte
Peyum-bar na muyasar hua to khoob hua
Zabaan-e-gair se kya sher ki aarzoo karte
Meri tarah se maah-o-mahar bhi hain aawara
Kisi habib ko ye bhi hain justaju karte
Jo dekhte teri zanjeer-e-zulf ka aalam
Aseer honay ke aazad aarzoo karte
Na pooch aalam-e-bargashta taali’-e-Aatish
Barasti aag main jo baraan ki aarzoo karte
Hum aur bul-bul-e-betaab guftagu karte
Peyum-bar na muyasar hua to khoob hua
Zabaan-e-gair se kya sher ki aarzoo karte
Meri tarah se maah-o-mahar bhi hain aawara
Kisi habib ko ye bhi hain justaju karte
Jo dekhte teri zanjeer-e-zulf ka aalam
Aseer honay ke aazad aarzoo karte
Na pooch aalam-e-bargashta taali’-e-Aatish
Barasti aag main jo baraan ki aarzoo karte
