jab saba aai idhar zikr-e-bahaar aa hi gaya

jab sabā aa.ī idhar zikr-e-bahār aa hī gayā

yaad ham ko inqalāb-e-rozgār aa hī gayā

kis liye ab jabr kī taklīf farmāte haiñ aap

banda-parvar maiñ to zer-e-iḳhtiyār aa hī gayā

lāla-o-gul par jo guzrī hai guzarne dījiye

aap ko to mehrbāñ lutf-e-bahār aa hī gayā

dahr meñ rasm-e-vafā badnām ho kar hī rahī

ham bachāte hī rahe dāman ġhubār aa hī gayā

hañs ke bole ab tujhe zanjīr kī hājat nahīñ

un ko merī bebasī kā e'tibār aa hī gayā

shikva-sanjī apnī aadat meñ nahīñ dāḳhil magar

dil dukhā to lab pe harf-e-nāgavār aa hī gayā

jab saba aai idhar zikr-e-bahaar aa hi gaya

yaad hum ko inqalab-e-rozgar aa hi gaya

kis liye ab jabr ki taklif farmate hain aap

banda-parwar main to zer-e-iKHtiyar aa hi gaya

lala-o-gul par jo guzri hai guzarne dijiye

aap ko to mehrban lutf-e-bahaar aa hi gaya

dahr mein rasm-e-wafa badnam ho kar hi rahi

hum bachate hi rahe daman ghubar aa hi gaya

hans ke bole ab tujhe zanjir ki hajat nahin

un ko meri bebasi ka e'tibar aa hi gaya

shikwa-sanji apni aadat mein nahin daKHil magar

dil dukha to lab pe harf-e-nagawar aa hi gaya
