husn is shama-ru ka hai gul-rang

husn is sham.a-rū kā hai gul-rañg

kyuuñ na bulbul jale misāl-e-patañg

ḳhatt-e-shab-rañg us parī-rū kā

dekh aayā hai aarsī par zañg

us ke nāzuk badan meñ hue nihāñ

pahne gar vo sanam qabā-e-tañg

dekh majnūñ ne bas kahā mujh kuuñ

is qadar mārte haiñ tiflāñ sañg

sāqiyā jaam mai suuñ kar sarshār

mujh kuuñ darkār niiñ hai nām-o-nañg

ġhair gardish ke pahuñchtā nahīñ rizq

shāhid us par hai āsiyā kā sañg

yak qadam rāh-e-dost hai 'dā.ūd'

lekin afsos pā-e-baḳht hai lañg

husn is shama-ru ka hai gul-rang

kyun na bulbul jale misal-e-patang

KHatt-e-shab-rang us pari-ru ka

dekh aaya hai aarsi par zang

us ke nazuk badan mein hue nihan

pahne gar wo sanam qaba-e-tang

dekh majnun ne bas kaha mujh kun

is qadar marte hain tiflan sang

saqiya jam mai sun kar sarshaar

mujh kun darkar nin hai nam-o-nang

ghair gardish ke pahunchta nahin rizq

shahid us par hai aasiya ka sang

yak qadam rah-e-dost hai 'daud'

lekin afsos pa-e-baKHt hai lang
