Us Ne Aahista Se Jab Pukara Mujhe

Us ne aahista se jab pukara mujhe,
Jhuk ke takne laga har sitara mujhe,

Tera ghum is fishaar-e-shab-o-roz mein,
Hone deta nahin be-sahaara mujhe,

Har sitaare ki bujhti hui raushni,
Mere hone ka hai istiaara mujhe,

Ai khuda koi aisa bhi hai mojaza,
Jo ke mujh par kare aashkaara mujhe,

Koi suraj nahin koi taara nahin,
Tu ne kis jhutpute mein utaara mujhe,

Aks-e-imroz mein naqsh-e-diroz mein,
Ek ishaara tujhe ek ishaara mujhe,

Hain azal ta abad toot'te aaine,
Aagahi ne kahaan la ke maara mujhe.!!
