ek naya karb mere dil mein janam leta hai

ik nayā karb mire dil meñ janam letā hai

qāfila dard kā kuchh der jo dam letā hai

rañg paatā hai mire ḳhūn-e-jigar se gul-e-sher

sabza-e-fikr mirī aañkh se nam letā hai

aabrū haqq-o-sadāqat kī baḌhā detā hai

jab bhī suqrāt koī sāġhar-e-sam letā hai

raat ke saa.e meñ shabnam ke guhar Dhalte haiñ

raat kī kokh se ḳhurshīd janam letā hai

zehn be-nām dhuñdlakoñ meñ bhaTak jaatā hai

aaj fankār jo hāthoñ meñ qalam letā hai

jis ko ho daulat-e-ehsās mayassar 'tā.ib'

chain vo kār-gah-e-zīst meñ kam letā hai

ek naya karb mere dil mein janam leta hai

qafila dard ka kuchh der jo dam leta hai

rang pata hai mere KHun-e-jigar se gul-e-sher

sabza-e-fikr meri aankh se nam leta hai

aabru haqq-o-sadaqat ki baDha deta hai

jab bhi suqraat koi saghar-e-sam leta hai

raat ke sae mein shabnam ke guhar Dhalte hain

raat ki kokh se KHurshid janam leta hai

zehn be-nam dhundlakon mein bhaTak jata hai

aaj fankar jo hathon mein qalam leta hai

jis ko ho daulat-e-ehsas mayassar 'taib'

chain wo kar-gah-e-zist mein kam leta hai
