gul teraa rang churaa laaye hai.n gul_zaaro.n me.n 
jal rahaa huu.N bharii barasaat kii bauchhaaro.n me.n 

mujh se kataraa ke nikal jaa magar ai jaan-e-hayaa 
dil kii lau dekh rahaa huu.N tere ruKhasaaro.n me.n 

husn-e-begaanaa-e-ehasaas-e-jamaal achchhaa hai 
Gunche khilate hai.n to bik jaate hai.n baazaaro.n me.n 

zikr karate hai.n teraa mujh se baa_unavaan-e-jafaa 
chaaraagar phuul piro laaye hai.n talvaaro.n me.n 

zaKhm chhup sakate hai.n lekin mujhe fan kii saugaundh 
Gam kii daulat bhii hai shaamil mere shaahakaaro.n me.n 

mujh ko nafarat se nahii.n pyaar se masluub karo 
mai.n to shaamil huu.N mohabbat ke gunaah_gaaro.n me.n 

[masluub = crucified/suspended]
