mujh ko rote dekh kar pas aae wo tafhim ko
kyun na dil se dun duaen apne ghain o mim ko
Munshi Khairati Laal Shagufta
na sharmao aankhen mila kar to dekho
mulaqat hai hum se tum se kabhi ki
Munshi Khairati Laal Shagufta
ota hun main tasawwur-e-zulf-e-siyah mein
pani baras raha hai jame hain ghaTa ke rang
Munshi Khairati Laal Shagufta
saf kya ho sohbat-e-zahir se baatin ka ghubar
munh nazar aata nahin aaina-e-taswir mein
Munshi Khairati Laal Shagufta
sarishk-e-chashm dikhate hain garmiyan apni
kami pe jab araq-e-infial hota hai
Munshi Khairati Laal Shagufta
wo hawa-KHwah-e-nasim-e-zulf hun main tira-baKHt
kyun na marqad par kare dud-e-charagh-e-sham raqs
Munshi Khairati Laal Shagufta
