soz-e-dil se pur-nam ho gai

soz-e-dil se pur-nam ho ga.ī

ab to ye ātish bhī shabnam ho ga.ī

jab tabī'at ḳhūgar-e-ġham ho ga.ī

rafta rafta har ḳhalish kam ho ga.ī

zaḳhm dil ke ho chuke the lā-'ilāj

ik nigāh-e-lutf marham ho ga.ī

hai mohabbat kā ye me.arāj-e-kamāl

zindagī ḳhud tishna-e-ġham ho ga.ī

kar chuke haiñ un se ham ahd-o-vafā

aur ye zanjīr mohkam ho ga.ī

ġham pe thā saarā madār-e-zindagī

ġham huā kam to ḳhushī kam ho ga.ī

vo sitam kar ke pashemāñ jab hue

sharm se gardan mirī ḳham ho ga.ī

dekhnā mere tasavvur kā kamāl

ārzū-e-dil mujassam ho ga.ī

der tak milte rahe qalb-o-nazar

guftugū kuchh aaj bāham ho ga.ī

chheḌ denā ho gayā 'shankar' sitam

zulf un kī aur barham ho ga.ī

soz-e-dil se pur-nam ho gai

ab to ye aatish bhi shabnam ho gai

jab tabi'at KHugar-e-gham ho gai

rafta rafta har KHalish kam ho gai

zaKHm dil ke ho chuke the la-'ilaj

ek nigah-e-lutf marham ho gai

hai mohabbat ka ye mearaj-e-kamal

zindagi KHud tishna-e-gham ho gai

kar chuke hain un se hum ahd-o-wafa

aur ye zanjir mohkam ho gai

gham pe tha sara madar-e-zindagi

gham hua kam to KHushi kam ho gai

wo sitam kar ke pasheman jab hue

sharm se gardan meri KHam ho gai

dekhna mere tasawwur ka kamal

aarzu-e-dil mujassam ho gai

der tak milte rahe qalb-o-nazar

guftugu kuchh aaj baham ho gai

chheD dena ho gaya 'shankar' sitam

zulf un ki aur barham ho gai
