Dhol badshah ka jawab, tote ka apne mulk rawana hona
Taan phir Dhol keha sun tote main vich dosh na koi
Jiun kar leekh qalm ne likhiyan owen hoya so ee
Torr jawab sundar ne ditta mera jaan na howe
Mileya saaf jawab tote noon heth aqla rowe
Rowe te kurlawe tarrfe neer akheen dhal aaya
Kiun kar dais watan ghar pohnchan ya rub baar khadaya
Agge taan naal khushi chal aaya Dhol milo jind janeen
Hun taan Dhol sunaya menoon saaf jawab zubani
Phir keha sun Dhol shehzade main ik baat sunawan
Kar kujh wada kadon aawen ga taan main ethon jaawan
Keekar kahan kadon ko taayen es theen main sharmawan
Keh ke aaya naal liyawan hun main keekar jaawan
Keh dayen maan meri nawa ja ke aakh sunawan tenoon
Magh phagan jad khatam howe ga cheet udeekan menoon
Aso aas niras ho ke tota kare tiyari
Na umeed hoya tote turya maar udari
Wekh ajeeha fikraan andar ronda dhonda aaya
Sakhti utte maseebat andar garh Baghdad aaya
Kando suneya sundar tota shehar Damishqon aaya
Aap akalla aaya koi sathi dhol na liaya
Dekhe aan akalla tota ronda zari zari
Kehndi dass keh bani maseebat sundar tote wali
Kehnda kujh na pucho menoon gal na dassan wali
Kujh parwah na dhola karda raaj hakumat wali
Thak gaya main mintaan kar ke sabh ahwal sunaya
Oh be tars ajeeha zalim naal mere na aaya
Sad hazoor mehmani karda makar fareeb banawe
Cheetar rakh udeek dhol di jaikar rub liyawe
Bethi kadi udeekon cheetar main te aj lachari
Phagan magron cheetar aaya laggi aan tiyari
