git mere hain magar nur-e-suKHan us ka hai

giit mere haiñ magar nūr-e-suḳhan us kā hai

haq to ye hai ki mirā jauhar-e-fan us kā hai

phuul to phuul haiñ kāñToñ kī ravish bhī us kī

bāġhbāñ kuchh bhī kahe rañg-e-chaman us kā hai

sabz mausam kī mire dar pe jo dastak jaagī

maiñ ne jaanā ki yahī tarz-e-suḳhan us kā hai

mauj-e-gul bād-e-sabā rañg-e-chaman āb-e-ravāñ

saare aalam meñ agar hai to chalan us kā hai

us kī pahchān faqat koh-o-samundar se nahīñ

zarra-e-ḳhāk bhī ḳhurshīd-e-vatan us kā hai

is se kyā farq paḌe tarz-e-navā-sanjī par

hamd us kī hai laboñ par ki bhajan us kā hai

maiñ yam-e-vaqt meñ bahtā huā tinkā 'nāmī'

ye zamīñ us kī tamāshā-e-zaman us kā hai

git mere hain magar nur-e-suKHan us ka hai

haq to ye hai ki mera jauhar-e-fan us ka hai

phul to phul hain kanTon ki rawish bhi us ki

baghban kuchh bhi kahe rang-e-chaman us ka hai

sabz mausam ki mere dar pe jo dastak jagi

main ne jaana ki yahi tarz-e-suKHan us ka hai

mauj-e-gul baad-e-saba rang-e-chaman aab-e-rawan

sare aalam mein agar hai to chalan us ka hai

us ki pahchan faqat koh-o-samundar se nahin

zarra-e-KHak bhi KHurshid-e-watan us ka hai

is se kya farq paDe tarz-e-nawa-sanji par

hamd us ki hai labon par ki bhajan us ka hai

main yam-e-waqt mein bahta hua tinka 'nami'

ye zamin us ki tamasha-e-zaman us ka hai
