ab bhalaa chhoR ke ghar kyaa karte
shaam ke vaqt safar kyaa karte

terii masruufiyateN jaante the
apne aane kii Khabar kyaa karte

(masruufiyateN : engagements)

jab sitaare hii nahiiN mil paaye
le ke ham shams-o-qamar kyaa karte

(shams-o-qamar : Sun and the Moon)

vo musaafir hii khulii dhuup kaa thaa
saaye phailaa ke shajar kyaa karte

(shajar : tree)

Khaak hii avval-o-aaKhir thahrii
kar (?) ke zarre ko gauhar kyaa karte

(Khaak : dust; avval-o-aaKhir : in the beginning and the end; zarre : particles; gauhar : jewels)

raaye pehle se hii banaa lii tuune
dil meN ab ham tere ghar kyaa karte

ishq ne saare saliiqe bakhshe
husn se kasb-e-hunar kyaa karte

(saliiqe : etiquettes; kasb-e-hunar : ?)
