jo sun kar lagi zer-e-lab muskurane

jo sun kar lagī zer-e-lab muskurāne

ye kyā kah diyā thā kalī se sabā ne

mire sher anmol la.al-o-gohar haiñ

luTā.e tire ġham ne kyā kyā ḳhazāne

shafaq khil uThī champa.ī ārizoñ par

nikhārā tire rañg-e-ruḳh ko hayā ne

rahā hai vahī dil kā ehsās-e-ulfat

badalte rahe laakh karvaT zamāne

mohabbat kā un ko yaqīñ aa chalā hai

haqīqat bane jā rahe haiñ fasāne

jhijhak kar kisī ne churā.īñ jo nazreñ

charāġh-e-tamannā lagā jhilmilāne

kabhī ye bhī sochā hai ai hañsne vaalo

agar paḌ ga.e tum ko aañsū bahāne

vo tūfān bād-e-muḳhālif kahāñ hai

jo uTThā thā ai 'naqsh' mujh ko miTāne

jo sun kar lagi zer-e-lab muskurane

ye kya kah diya tha kali se saba ne

mere sher anmol lal-o-gohar hain

luTae tere gham ne kya kya KHazane

shafaq khil uThi champai aarizon par

nikhaara tere rang-e-ruKH ko haya ne

raha hai wahi dil ka ehsas-e-ulfat

badalte rahe lakh karwaT zamane

mohabbat ka un ko yaqin aa chala hai

haqiqat bane ja rahe hain fasane

jhijhak kar kisi ne churain jo nazren

charagh-e-tamanna laga jhilmilane

kabhi ye bhi socha hai ai hansne walo

agar paD gae tum ko aansu bahane

wo tufan baad-e-muKHalif kahan hai

jo uTTha tha ai 'naqsh' mujh ko miTane
