Ke cham jaasan te mool na rehsan
Mere jyun jyun jaan badan vich
Khaal kunalda khoj labhesan
Te main naksh lakhesan mann vich
Raat dine uth baal karesan
Har bele har wan vich
Yaar fareed oh baloch na bhulsan
Bhayi karsan wain kafan vich
Meri shutar sawara gal sun ja
Payi koonj wangu kurlaundi aan
Zara rok muhaar sanwaari di
Tenu waasta rabb da paundi aan
Mera vichchdeya yaar numaani da
Tur gayan sanu kaleyan chchad ke
Das kivein dil parchchayiye
Laa gayan jehdi agg seeni vich
Das kaade naal bujhayiye
Kehda russe naal asaade
Kehnu ro ro assi manayiye
Aazam yaar yaaran nu milde
Assan kis nu seene laayiye
Sassi izraeel nu akhe
Main na khali tenu ghaldi
Na mainu inkaari koi
Te na munkar hukm azal di
Na main jaan dewan ton dardi
Te na mohlat mangan pal di
Aazam jaan dewangi has ke
Pehle bann aa shakal kunal di
Kun badaya jagal diyan yaaro
Aa lash sassi te gayiyan
Tadafda dekh ke laash sassi nu
Hairaan khaloti rahiyan
Sassi akhe maiko jam jam khao
Main te daawat dendi payiyan
Par nain mere mehfoos che rakhiyo
Raah kech da vendi payiyan
Hethan tatti ret thalan di
Utton lauh kehar di wagge
Jithe poori ankh na ubhre
Jithe pair na bhunje lagge
Jehde passe jaawe sassi
Disse maut khaloti agge
Aazam darr di pichchan na hatdi
Kite ishq nu laaj na lagge
Assees sassi ik wasihat kiti
Loko maitekaram kamaawo
Mayyat meri nu ik waari
Saare kech de vich phiraawo
Jithe har koi aawe jaawe
Mainu othe na dafnao
Aazam ithon guzar kunalda
Os raah vich qabar banaawo
Mera vichchdeya yaar numaani da
Kite khoj na labhda haani da
Mere sutteyan leh gaye kunnan nu
Agg laake payi pachchtaundi aan
Jind ishq ne rol gawayi e
Jogi rabb di beparwahi e
Kal shehzaadi bhambordi saan
Ajj jandi kej sadaundi aan
