teri chashm-e-karam rahe mahfuz

terī chashm-e-karam rahe mahfūz

āñdhiyoñ meñ bhī ham rahe mahfūz

azmat-e-zindagī isī se hai

lazzat-e-dard-o-ġham rahe mahfūz

saif-o-neza se kyā ġharaz ham ko

bas hamārā qalam rahe mahfūz

zabt-e-ġham kā yahī taqāzā hai

un kā dast-e-sitam rahe mahfūz

terī yādoñ kī sham.a raushan hai

raunaq-e-shām-e-ġham rahe mahfūz

āsmāñ ne bahut sitam Dhaa.e

phir bhī vallāh ham rahe mahfūz

tā-qayāmat ḳhudā kare 'sābir'

sham.a-e-tāq-e-haram rahe mahfūz

teri chashm-e-karam rahe mahfuz

aandhiyon mein bhi hum rahe mahfuz

azmat-e-zindagi isi se hai

lazzat-e-dard-o-gham rahe mahfuz

saif-o-neza se kya gharaz hum ko

bas hamara qalam rahe mahfuz

zabt-e-gham ka yahi taqaza hai

un ka dast-e-sitam rahe mahfuz

teri yaadon ki shama raushan hai

raunaq-e-sham-e-gham rahe mahfuz

aasman ne bahut sitam Dhae

phir bhi wallah hum rahe mahfuz

ta-qayamat KHuda kare 'sabir'

shama-e-taq-e-haram rahe mahfuz
