vahī jo hayā thī nigār aate aate

batā tū hī ab hai vo pyaar aate aate

na maqtal meñ chal saktī thī teġh-e-qātil

bhare itne ummīd-vār aate aate

ghaTī merī roz aane jaane se izzat

yahāñ aap khoyā viqār aate aate

jagah do to maiñ is meñ turbat banā luuñ

bharā hai jo dil meñ ġhubār aate aate

abhī ho ye fitna to kyā kuchh na hoge

javānī ke lail-o-nahār aate aate

ghaḌī hijr kī kaash yā rab na aatī

qayāmat ke lail-o-nahār aate aate

ḳhabar detī hai yaad kartā hai koī

jo bāñdhā hai hichkī ne taar aate aate

phir aa.e jo tum mehrbāñ jaate jaate

phirī gardish-e-rozgār aate aate

azal se abad ko to jaanā thā 'afsar'

chale aa.e ham us dayār aate aate
