meri KHak usne bikher di sar-e-rah ghubar bana diya

mirī ḳhaak us ne bikher dī sar-e-rah ġhubār banā diyā

maiñ jab aa sakā na shumār meñ mujhe be-shumār banā diyā

tirā naqsh utrā sar-e-varaq to tasarruf-e-lab-o-chashm se

bhare rañg maiñ ne kuchh is tarah ise shāhkār banā diyā

tire juzv juzv ḳhayāl ko rag-e-jāñ meñ puurā utaar kar

vo jo baar baar kī shakl thī use ek baar banā diyā

mujhe nañg-e-naqsh hī kab kiyā bharīñ us ne aisī siyāhiyāñ

ki mire hī kūcha o shahr meñ mujhe ishtihār banā diyā

ye nahīñ ki us ne durīda-tan sar-e-naḳhl-e-ḳhār piro diyā

mirī dhajjiyoñ ko bhī khīñch kar mujhe taar taar banā diyā

meri KHak us ne bikher di sar-e-rah ghubar bana diya

main jab aa saka na shumar mein mujhe be-shumar bana diya

tera naqsh utra sar-e-waraq to tasarruf-e-lab-o-chashm se

bhare rang main ne kuchh is tarah ise shahkar bana diya

tere juzw juzw KHayal ko rag-e-jaan mein pura utar kar

wo jo bar bar ki shakl thi use ek bar bana diya

mujhe nang-e-naqsh hi kab kiya bharin us ne aisi siyahiyan

ki mere hi kucha o shahr mein mujhe ishtihaar bana diya

ye nahin ki us ne durida-tan sar-e-naKHl-e-KHar piro diya

meri dhajjiyon ko bhi khinch kar mujhe tar tar bana diya
