Shaam se pehle ik diya jalana chahta hoon,
Main aaj apni mohabbat ko aazmana chahta hoon,
Yeh anaa-parast log hain andar se tootay huye,
Mein yeh baat dunya walon ko batana chahta hoon,
Teri zaat ki mehroomiyan, Tere man ki yeh udaasiyan,
Mujhe moka to de, mein inhe mitaana chahta hoon,
Tere hath mein mere rehber, Tere naksh-e-paa meri manzil ke,
Tujhe mein chilchilati dhoop mein aanchal banana chahta hon,
Cheen lo saharey mujhse, apne paraaye sarey mujhse,
Bas do hosla mujhe, mein khud ko manwaana chahta hoon,
Poocha jo yaaron ne muskurahat ka sabab to kehne laga Waqas,
Mein hansi ke pardey mein dard apna chupana chahta hoon..
