vo nigah dil pe paḌī daaġh jigar ke hote
dikhā.ī talvār sadā afsos sipar ke hote
ka.aba-o-dair ko apnā to yahīñ se hai salām
dar-ba-dar kaun phire yaar ke dar ke hote
terī āñkhoñ ke tasavvur meñ hai sair-e-kaunain
varna ham log idhar ke na idhar ke hote
ham ko 'mārūf' agar sher savārī detā
to bhī pā-bos-e-sag-e-yār utar ke hote
