madar-e-zat ke girdab se nikal aa.uun
main apni zaat ke asbab se nikal aa.uun
bas ek baar to paani pe apna aks dikha
qasam-khuda-ki main sailab se nikal aa.uun
jo mahv-e-raqs na huun meri ruuh ke hamrah
main aise halqa-e-ahbab se nikal aa.uun
main apni jagti ankhon se zindagi dekhun
miri tamanna hai main khvab se nikal aa.uun
tira to lahja bahut dil-shikan hai ai janan
tiri kahani ke har baab se nikal aa.uun
jo tere lams ki hiddat ko jiit luun to main
phir apni zaat ke barfab se nikal aa.uun
gundha hua hai miri zaat ke khamir men ye
main kaise alam-e-asbab se nikal aa.uun
ye raushni miri tahzib ka hi hasil hai
main kaise halqa-e-adab se nikal aa.uun
jo mera pyaar hai ‘rumi’ agar kabhi mil jaae
main apni zaat ke har khvab se nikal aa.uun
