jahan-e-rang-o-bu par chha raha hai

jahān-e-rañg-o-bū par chhā rahā hai

har ik parde se vo jalva-numā hai

bashar Thokar pe Thokar khā rahā hai

sazā apne kiye kī pā rahā hai

tamannā aur phir un kī tamannā

ye irfān-e-ḳhudī kī intihā hai

butoñ ko dekh kar aatā hai tū yaad

butoñ ke husn meñ jalva tirā hai

kahīñ tū hai kahīñ tasvīr terī

na ka.aba hai na koī but-kada hai

tumhārī yaad kar letā huuñ taaza

butoñ ko kaun kāfir pūjtā hai

nahīñ chāra kisī ke paas is kā

mohabbat ek dard-e-lā-davā hai

sharāb-e-zīst piitā jā rahā huuñ

surūr-e-hosh baḌhtā jā rahā hai

jigar meñ chubh rahī hai nok-e-mizhgāñ

balā kā dard 'fāriġh' ho rahā hai

jahan-e-rang-o-bu par chha raha hai

har ek parde se wo jalwa-numa hai

bashar Thokar pe Thokar kha raha hai

saza apne kiye ki pa raha hai

tamanna aur phir un ki tamanna

ye irfan-e-KHudi ki intiha hai

buton ko dekh kar aata hai tu yaad

buton ke husn mein jalwa tera hai

kahin tu hai kahin taswir teri

na kaba hai na koi but-kada hai

tumhaari yaad kar leta hun taza

buton ko kaun kafir pujta hai

nahin chaara kisi ke pas is ka

mohabbat ek dard-e-la-dawa hai

sharab-e-zist pita ja raha hun

surur-e-hosh baDhta ja raha hai

jigar mein chubh rahi hai nok-e-mizhgan

bala ka dard 'farigh' ho raha hai
