hai bazm-e-butan mein suKHan aazurda-labon se

hai bazm-e-butāñ meñ suḳhan āzurda-laboñ se

tañg aa.e haiñ ham aise ḳhushāmad-talaboñ se

hai daur-e-qadah vaj.h-e-pareshānī-e-sahbā

yak-bār lagā do ḳhum-e-mai mere laboñ se

rindān-e-dar-e-mai-kada gustāḳh haiñ zāhid

zinhār na honā taraf in be-adaboñ se

bedād-e-vafā dekh ki jaatī rahī āḳhir

har-chand mirī jaan ko thā rabt laboñ se

kyā pūchhe hai bar-ḳhud ġhalatī-hā-e-azīzāñ

ḳhvārī ko bhī ik aar hai a.ālī-nasaboñ se

go tum ko razā-jūī-e-aġhyār hai lekin

jaatī hai mulāqāt kab aise sababoñ se

mat pūchh 'asad' va.ada-e-kam-fursatī-e-zīst

do din bhī jo kaaTe tū qayāmat ta.aboñ se

hai bazm-e-butan mein suKHan aazurda-labon se

tang aae hain hum aise KHushamad-talabon se

hai daur-e-qadah wajh-e-pareshani-e-sahba

yak-bar laga do KHum-e-mai mere labon se

rindan-e-dar-e-mai-kada gustaKH hain zahid

zinhaar na hona taraf in be-adabon se

bedad-e-wafa dekh ki jati rahi aaKHir

har-chand meri jaan ko tha rabt labon se

kya puchhe hai bar-KHud ghalati-ha-e-azizan

KHwari ko bhi ek aar hai aaali-nasabon se

go tum ko raza-jui-e-aghyar hai lekin

jati hai mulaqat kab aise sababon se

mat puchh 'asad' wada-e-kam-fursati-e-zist

do din bhi jo kaTe tu qayamat tabon se
