be-tab si ek zindagi-e-ishq basar ki
be-tāb sī ik zindagī-e-ishq basar kī
allah rī ishārat tirī duzdīda nazar kī
sad jalva-e-rangīñ meñ tujhe dekhā hai maiñ ne
khātā huuñ qasam dilkashī-e-shām-o-sahar kī
jis sajde se raushan thā siyah-ḳhāna-e-hastī
phir mujh ko tamanna hai usī sajda-e-dar kī
be-bahra hai tū āgahī-e-kaif-e-ajal se
taqlīd to kar zindagī-e-barq-o-sharar kī
thī ishq meñ 'sāqib' ġham-e-kaunain kā hāsil
vo hijr kī shab maiñ ne taḌap kar jo basar kī
be-tab si ek zindagi-e-ishq basar ki
allah ri ishaarat teri duzdida nazar ki
sad jalwa-e-rangin mein tujhe dekha hai main ne
khata hun qasam dilkashi-e-sham-o-sahar ki
jis sajde se raushan tha siyah-KHana-e-hasti
phir mujh ko tamanna hai usi sajda-e-dar ki
be-bahra hai tu aagahi-e-kaif-e-ajal se
taqlid to kar zindagi-e-barq-o-sharar ki
thi ishq mein 'saqib' gham-e-kaunain ka hasil
wo hijr ki shab main ne taDap kar jo basar ki
