kabhi bahaar kabhi gul subu Thahri

kabhī bahār kabhī gul kabhī subū Thahrī

vo aañkh jo kisī jannat kī āb-jū Thahrī

rusūm-e-dard nibhā.eñ ki aap ko chāheñ

yahī to shart-e-mulāqāt dū-badū Thahrī

har ek pal meñ hazāroñ Thahar ga.iiñ sadiyāñ

tumhārā lams mo.attar tumhārā jism bahār

yahī to bahs gulāboñ ke rū-ba-rū Thahrī

kabhi bahaar kabhi gul kabhi subu Thahri

wo aankh jo kisi jannat ki aab-ju Thahri

rusum-e-dard nibhaen ki aap ko chahen

yahi to shart-e-mulaqat du-badu Thahri

har ek pal mein hazaron Thahar gain sadiyan

nasim-e-subh-e-tamanna magar na tu Thahri

labon ki narm lapeTon mein ghulti ghulti shafaq

kahin lahu kahin rangini-e-subu Thahri

dar-e-firaq pe dam-bhar ko nikhat-e-sahari

tere KHiram ki manind hu-ba-hu Thahri

tumhaara lams moattar tumhaara jism bahaar

yahi to bahs gulabon ke ru-ba-ru Thahri
