Mujhe khud se hain shikaaytain, mujhe zindagi se gilaa nahin,

Mujhe khud se hain shikaaytain, mujhe zindagi se gilaa nahin,

Ke jo chaha mene woh paa liya, nahin aesa kuch jo mila nahin,

Mere aas paas hai roshni, mere raston mein chiraag hain,

Yeh tere karam ka hai mojza, meri justuju ka silaa nahin,

Teri aankh se jo haseen ho, woh nigaah jag mein bani nahin,

Tere rukh ko jis se misaal doon, koi aesa phool khila nahin,

Yeh jo teri zulf ka hai haashiya, yeh jo tera chahra khushnuma,

Koi raat aesi seyaah nahin, kisi subah main yeh jilaa nahin,

Yeh jo mehr-o-maa ki hain haaltain, yeh jo aayinon ki hain hertain,

Hain azzal se yeh isi tarah, koi apni jaa se hilaa nahin..
