Taybah ki hai yaad aayee ab ashk bahaanay do
Mahboob nay aanaa hai rahoon ko sajaanay do

Mushkil ho agar meyra Taybah main abhii jaanaa
Aey baad – e – sabaa merii aa – hoon ko to jaanay do

Mey teri ziyaarat kay qaabil to naheen maanaa
Yaadoon ko shahaa apnii khaabon main to aanay do

Ashkoon kii larhii ko ab tutaney mat deynaa
Aaqa kay liye muj koh kuch haar bananay do

Jo chaaho sazaa deynaa mehbuub kay darbaano
Ik baar to jaalii ko siinaay say lagaanay do

Mahboob kay qaabil yeh alfaaz kahaan saaim
Ashkoon kii zubaan say ab ik naat sunaanay do

Lagta nahin dil mayra ab in weeraanon mayn
Chota sa ghar mujh ko teba mayn bananay do

Roko na mujhay ab to dar e yaar kay darbaano!
Mahboob ki jaali ko seenay say laganay do
