chaman-e-lala ye ulfat teri dikhlati hai

chaman-e-lāla ye ulfat tirī dikhlātī hai

saiñkaḌoñ daaġh haiñ aur ek mirī chhātī hai

garche tuutī bhī hai shīrīñ-suḳhanī meñ mumtāz

par tirī baat kī lazzat ko kahāñ paatī hai

badlī aa jaatī hai is lutf se ḳhurshīd pe kam

zulf muñh par tire jis aan se khul jaatī hai

gul hī tanhā na ḳhajil hai ruḳh-e-rañgīñ se tire

nargis āñkhoñ ke tire sāmne sharmātī hai

maiñ kahāñ aur tirā vasl ye hai bas ai gul

gaah be-gāh tirī bū to sabā laatī hai

raat thoḌī sī hai bas jaane de mil hañs kar bol

nā-ḳhushī tā-ba-kujā sub.h huī jaatī hai

raushnī ḳhāna-e-āshiq kī hai tujh se varna

tū na ho to shab-e-mahtāb kise bhātī hai

sādgī dekh to dil us se kare hai yaarī

nāganī dekh ke jis zulf ko bal khātī hai

mah-ruḳhāñ kyā haiñ ki ho aa ke muqābil 'bedār'

kāñptī sāmne jis shoḳh ke barq aatī hai

chaman-e-lala ye ulfat teri dikhlati hai

sainkaDon dagh hain aur ek meri chhati hai

garche tuti bhi hai shirin-suKHani mein mumtaz

par teri baat ki lazzat ko kahan pati hai

badli aa jati hai is lutf se KHurshid pe kam

zulf munh par tere jis aan se khul jati hai

gul hi tanha na KHajil hai ruKH-e-rangin se tere

nargis aankhon ke tere samne sharmati hai

main kahan aur tera wasl ye hai bas ai gul

gah be-gah teri bu to saba lati hai

raat thoDi si hai bas jaane de mil hans kar bol

na-KHushi ta-ba-kuja subh hui jati hai

raushni KHana-e-ashiq ki hai tujh se warna

tu na ho to shab-e-mahtab kise bhati hai

sadgi dekh to dil us se kare hai yari

nagani dekh ke jis zulf ko bal khati hai

mah-ruKHan kya hain ki ho aa ke muqabil 'bedar'

kanpti samne jis shoKH ke barq aati hai
