kabhi apne ishq pe tabsire kabhi tazkire ruKH-e-yar ke

kabhī apne ishq pe tabsire kabhī tazkire ruḳh-e-yār ke

yūñhī biit jā.eñge ye bhī din jo ḳhizāñ ke haiñ na bahār ke

ye tilism-e-husn-e-ḳhayāl hai ki fareb tere dayār ke

sar-e-bām jaise abhī abhī koī chhup gayā hai pukār ke

siiyo chāk-e-dāman-o-āstīñ ki vo sargirāñ na ho phir kahīñ

yahī rut hai ishrat-e-dīd kī yahī din haiñ āmad-e-yār ke

abhī aur mātam-e-rañg-o-bū ki chaman ko hai talab-e-numū

tere ashk hoñ ki mirā lahū ye amiiñ haiñ fasl-e-bahār ke

ġham-e-roz-o-shab kī amiin hai ye hayāt phir bhī hasīn hai

kahīñ dhuup āriz-e-dost kī kahīñ saaye gesū-e-yār ke

kabhi apne ishq pe tabsire kabhi tazkire ruKH-e-yar ke

yunhi bit jaenge ye bhi din jo KHizan ke hain na bahaar ke

ye tilism-e-husn-e-KHayal hai ki fareb tere dayar ke

sar-e-baam jaise abhi abhi koi chhup gaya hai pukar ke

siyo chaak-e-daman-o-astin ki wo sargiran na ho phir kahin

yahi rut hai ishrat-e-did ki yahi din hain aamad-e-yar ke

abhi aur matam-e-rang-o-bu ki chaman ko hai talab-e-numu

tere ashk hon ki mera lahu ye amin hain fasl-e-bahaar ke

gham-e-roz-o-shab ki amin hai ye hayat phir bhi hasin hai

kahin dhup aariz-e-dost ki kahin saye gesu-e-yar ke
