kisne vaadaa kiyaa hai aane kaa
husn dekho Ghariib Khaane kaa
ruuh ko aaiinaa dikhaate hai.n
dar-o-diivaar muskuraate hai.n
aaj ghar, ghar banaa hai pahalii baar
dil me.n hai Khush saliiqagii bedaar
jamaa samaa.N hai aish-o-ishrat kaa
Khauf dil me.n fareb-e-qismet kaa
soz-e-qalb-e-kaliim aa.Nko.n me.n
ashk-e-ummiid-o-biim aa.Nkho.n me.n
chashm-bar-raah-e-shauq ke maare
chaa.Nd ke intazaar me.n taare
