Menzer e khewab tha kebhi nezaro ma na dekha

Menzer e khewab tha kebhi nezaro ma na dekha, 
Aesa koi menzir pehlay kebhi khewabo ma na dekha, 

Ajeb sa noor tha us shekhs kay chehray pay, 
Aesa kebhi hum nay sitaro ma na dekha, 

Us ki sanso ki mehek thi k feqt bab e jenet ho khula hua, 
Aesa aser hum nay kebhi ghulabo ma na dekha, 

Us ki zulfain thi k feqt aqdas ki jhelek, 
Aesa hijab hum nay kebhi sat hijabo ma na dekha, 

Us ki jheel si ankho ma doob janay ka men hota tha, 
Aesa to kebhi temena k serabo ma na dekha, 

Us ki guftugu ma b kuch ajeb sa nasha tha, 
Aesa kebhi hum nay sherabo main na dekha, 

Syed' kyu na phir do pel ma hi ishq ker bethay, 
Aesa shekhs to pehlay hum nay kebhi kitabo ma na dekha...
