'Door sey hi, na yoon muskuraaou sakhee !
 Mein akeilaa hoon; nuzdeeq aaou sakhee !
 
 Neem surmaa ruwaan hai, samaan khushnumaan!
 Gurmjoshee kabhi to dikhaaou sakhee !!

 Mein bulaataa ruhaa hoon tumhain umra bhur;
 Ho garaz woh, ki, tum khud bulaaou sakhee !

 Mein may-e-een pee, nashshaa aameyz hoon;
 Barhaa, surkhushee mein nahaaou sakhee !

 Kash, aisaa hawaa mein nihaan kuchh ho, tum,
 Aakey, pahloo mein khud baith jaaou sakhee !

 Gaa ruhaa hai zamaana: sunoun turz-e-dil;
 Aaj to nagmaa-e-zeest gaaou sakhee !!

 Kuh chukaa hoon puraaney fasaaney bahut:
 Is naye dour key, tum sunaaou sakhee !

 Pairhun mein zameen ney sajaaye hain gul;
 Geysuoun ko guloun sey sajaaou sakhee !

 Khum hain lubreyz may sey: putaa hai mujhey!
 Jaam khaalee hai fir kyon? bataaou sakhee !

 Buhr-e-hizraan mein toofaan-e-gum hai chhupaa:
 Doob jaanungaa, aakar bachaou sakhee !

 Shfq-e-aalum sey beytaab hoon, deed ko;
 Pudaa-e-abra rukh sey hataaou sakhee !

 Muntazir hai 'abd', dozkh-e-hizra ko,
 Subzwakhtee sey junnat banaaou sakhee !'
