wo ru-e-kitabi to hai quran hamara

kahte hain jise ishq hai iman hamara

hathon ki shikayat hai hamein dasht-e-junun mein

panw mein ulajhta hai gareban hamara

har subh dikhata hai hamein jalwa pari ka

baala-e-hawa-dar sulaiman hamara

hain mardum-e-gham-dida ke danton ki tarah band

misl-e-dahan-e-nang hai zindan hamara

hum KHana-KHarabon se mile kya koi aa kar

darwaza-e-uftada hai darban hamara

rahta hai hamein dhyan tumhaara hi hamesha

tum ko nahin aata hai kabhi dhyan hamara

aa jae abhi jaan mein jaan aao agar tum

tan hijr mein be-jaan hai ai jaan hamara

be-khaTke tawahhush mein na kyun dauDte phiriye

pahlu mein hai be-KHar bayaban hamara

li jaan KHuda ne kisi but ne na kiya qatl

nikla na dam-e-marg bhi arman hamara

li hum ne bala apne hi sar sab ko bachaya

ai jaan hai aghyar pe ehsan hamara

har bait mein ek shahid-e-mani ki hai taswir

'nasiKH' hai muraqqa nahin diwan hamara
