vo but mubtala-talab mehr-talab vafa-talab
ye dil ashna-talab jaur-talab jafa-talab
yaad nahin unhen zara tira-dilon ka ḳhun-baha
hain tiri chashm-e-dast-o-pa surma-talab hina-talab
basta-e-intishar hain talib-e-zulf-e-yar hain
us ke siyahkar hain ranj-talab bala-talab
rahti hai dil men muttasil atish-e-ranj mustaqil
roz-e-avval se hai ye dil gham-talab ashna-talab
rat-din us ka dagh-e-ah rakhta hai mere dil se raah
‘mehr’ hain jaise mehr-o-mah nur-talab ziya-talab
