Dayar-e-nur main tera shabon ka sathi ho

dayar-e-nur mein tera shabon ka sathi ho
koi to ho jo meri wahshaton ka sathi ho

main us se jhuth bhi bolun to mujh se sach bole
mere mizaj k sab mosamon ka sathi ho

wo mere nam ki nisbat se motabar thehre
gali gali meri ruswaiyon ka sathi ho

main us k hath na aon wo mera ho k rahe
main gir parun to meri pastiyon ka sathi ho

wo khwab dekhe to dekhe mere hawale se
mere khayalon k sab manzaron ka sathi ho
