paida kiya hai uDti hui KHak se mujhe

paidā kiyā hai uḌtī huī ḳhaak se mujhe

nisbat yahī hai sarsar-e-saffāk se mujhe

ab to asīr-e-gardish-e-lail-o-nahār huuñ

muddat huī hai utre hue chaak se mujhe

aa.egā koī kholegā band-e-qabā-e-harf

degā najāt kāġhzī poshāk se mujhe

duniyā hai ishva-sāz to maiñ huuñ makīn-e-zāt

ḳhatra nahīñ hai is zan-e-bebāk se mujhe

par phaḌphaḌā rahā huuñ basīrat ke daam meñ

koī chhuḌā.e qabza-e-idrāk se mujhe

rah jā.egī lakīr lahū kī zamīn par

le jā.iye na bāñdh ke fitrāk se mujhe

mujh se zamīn ḳhauf-zada hai 'rafīq-rāz'

ye jāntī hai rabt hai aflāk se mujhe

paida kiya hai uDti hui KHak se mujhe

nisbat yahi hai sarsar-e-saffak se mujhe

ab to asir-e-gardish-e-lail-o-nahaar hun

muddat hui hai utre hue chaak se mujhe

aaega koi kholega band-e-qaba-e-harf

dega najat kaghzi poshak se mujhe

duniya hai ishwa-saz to main hun makin-e-zat

KHatra nahin hai is zan-e-bebak se mujhe

par phaDphaDa raha hun basirat ke dam mein

koi chhuDae qabza-e-idrak se mujhe

rah jaegi lakir lahu ki zamin par

le jaiye na bandh ke fitrak se mujhe

mujh se zamin KHauf-zada hai 'rafiq-raaz'

ye jaanti hai rabt hai aflak se mujhe
