mere qadmon par nigun mera hi sar hai bhi to kya

mere qadmoñ par nigūñ merā hī sar hai bhī to kyā

mere saa.e kī ye sāzish kārgar hai bhī to kyā

terī ḳhush-fahmī ke is ā.īna-e-sad-rañg meñ

aks chehre se sivā jāzib-nazar hai bhī to kyā

apne markaz se judā ho kar agar ye fikr-e-nau

dā.era-dar-dā.era garm-e-safar hai bhī to kyā

zahr kī kohna rivāyat hī kā Dar Das jā.egā

jism se lipTī ye nāgin be-zarar hai bhī to kyā

mehrbāñ qatroñ kī bārish abr-e-ā.inda meñ hai

fasl-e-imkāñ ab ke mausam be-samar hai bhī to kyā

sair-e-lā-samtī se bhī lā-hāsilī kā lutf le

reg-e-sahrā be-sadā o be-samar hai bhī to kyā

mere qadmon par nigun mera hi sar hai bhi to kya

mere sae ki ye sazish kargar hai bhi to kya

teri KHush-fahmi ke is aaina-e-sad-rang mein

aks chehre se siwa jazib-nazar hai bhi to kya

apne markaz se juda ho kar agar ye fikr-e-nau

daera-dar-daera garm-e-safar hai bhi to kya

zahr ki kohna riwayat hi ka Dar Das jaega

jism se lipTi ye nagin be-zarar hai bhi to kya

mehrban qatron ki barish abr-e-ainda mein hai

fasl-e-imkan ab ke mausam be-samar hai bhi to kya

sair-e-la-samti se bhi la-hasili ka lutf le

reg-e-sahra be-sada o be-samar hai bhi to kya
