hawadisat ke mare saubaton mein pale

havādisāt ke maare sa.ūbatoñ meñ pale

nigāh-e-garm se tarsāñ hoñ bijliyoñ ke jale

vo but-kada thā jahāñ sar jhuke charāġh jale

ye mai-kada hai yahāñ ḳham uThe sharāb chale

ye raqs-e-anjum-o-mahtāb ye samāñ ye sukūñ

ye daur-e-mai abhī kuchh aur thoḌī der chale

jo apne aap hī meñ karda-rāh-e-manzil the

rah-e-hayāt meñ kuchh aise rahnumā bhī mile

bisāt-e-anjum-o-mah ho ki mai-kade kā ḳharosh

ye bazm rañg pe aatī hai apnī raat Dhale

ziyā vo dī hai mire dāġh-hā-e-dil ne ki bas

charāġh-e-bazm-e-tamannā na ek raat jale

jo apnī qaum kī kashtī ki ḳhud Dubo Daale

ham aise rāhbar-e-qaum ke baġhair bhale

isī tazād meñ muzmar hai zindagī kā fusūñ

kahīñ charāġh bujhe aur kahīñ charāġh jale

ḳhudā bachā.e bas us mīr-e-kārvāñ se 'jalīl'

jo kaaT letā ho ḳhud ahl-e-kārvāñ ke gale

hawadisat ke mare saubaton mein pale

nigah-e-garm se tarsan hon bijliyon ke jale

wo but-kada tha jahan sar jhuke charagh jale

ye mai-kada hai yahan KHam uThe sharab chale

ye raqs-e-anjum-o-mahtab ye saman ye sukun

ye daur-e-mai abhi kuchh aur thoDi der chale

jo apne aap hi mein karda-rah-e-manzil the

rah-e-hayat mein kuchh aise rahnuma bhi mile

bisat-e-anjum-o-mah ho ki mai-kade ka KHarosh

ye bazm rang pe aati hai apni raat Dhale

ziya wo di hai mere dagh-ha-e-dil ne ki bas

charagh-e-bazm-e-tamanna na ek raat jale

jo apni qaum ki kashti ki KHud Dubo Dale

hum aise rahbar-e-qaum ke baghair bhale

isi tazad mein muzmar hai zindagi ka fusun

kahin charagh bujhe aur kahin charagh jale

KHuda bachae bas us mir-e-karwan se 'jalil'

jo kaT leta ho KHud ahl-e-karwan ke gale
