teri ulfat ko jaga rakkha hai

terī ulfat ko jagā rakkhā hai

dil meñ tūfān uThā rakkhā hai

rañj-o-rāhat haiñ gile-shikve haiñ

kaisā ghar-bār sajā rakkhā hai

us kā ehsān ki us ke dil ne

fāsla ham se sadā rakkhā hai

vaqt kyuuñ ret sā phislā jaa.e

ham ne muTThī meñ dabā rakkhā hai

sāmne rahte hue bhī us ne

ḳhud ko parde meñ chhupā rakkhā hai

shaad har pal haiñ ki ham ne dil ko

ḳhūgar-e-dard banā rakkhā hai

ḳhaar hai jis kī zabāñ us ne bhī

ghar ko phūloñ se sajā rakkhā hai

koī jumbish pas-e-parda ho kabhī

sar tire dar se lagā rakkhā hai

vo bhī kyā dil hai ki jis meñ 'anjum'

naam rakkhā na patā rakkhā hai

teri ulfat ko jaga rakkha hai

dil mein tufan uTha rakkha hai

ranj-o-rahat hain gile-shikwe hain

kaisa ghar-bar saja rakkha hai

us ka ehsan ki us ke dil ne

fasla hum se sada rakkha hai

waqt kyun ret sa phisla jae

hum ne muTThi mein daba rakkha hai

samne rahte hue bhi us ne

KHud ko parde mein chhupa rakkha hai

shad har pal hain ki hum ne dil ko

KHugar-e-dard bana rakkha hai

KHar hai jis ki zaban us ne bhi

ghar ko phulon se saja rakkha hai

koi jumbish pas-e-parda ho kabhi

sar tere dar se laga rakkha hai

wo bhi kya dil hai ki jis mein 'anjum'

nam rakkha na pata rakkha hai
