tere KHayal ne ehsan la-jawab kiya

tire ḳhayāl ne ehsān lā-javāb kiyā

nafas nafas ko mire vaqf-e-iztirāb kiyā

adū kā harf-e-malāmat banā mirī shohrat

usī ne ḳhaak ke zarre ko āftāb kiyā

tirī nazar ko nazar lag na jaa.e duniyā kī

bhare jahāñ meñ jo merā hī intiḳhāb kiyā

qadam qadam pe rahī justajū-e-nām-o-numūd

isī havas ne hameñ umr-bhar ḳharāb kiyā

azal ke din se añdhere mirā muqaddar the

tirī nazar ne mujhe rashk-e-māhtāb kiyā

gilā kiyā thā taġhāful kā 'chāñd' kyuuñ us se

tujhī ko ashk-e-nadāmat ne aap aab kiyā

tere KHayal ne ehsan la-jawab kiya

nafas nafas ko mere waqf-e-iztirab kiya

adu ka harf-e-malamat bana meri shohrat

usi ne KHak ke zarre ko aaftab kiya

teri nazar ko nazar lag na jae duniya ki

bhare jahan mein jo mera hi intiKHab kiya

qadam qadam pe rahi justaju-e-nam-o-numud

isi hawas ne hamein umr-bhar KHarab kiya

azal ke din se andhere mera muqaddar the

teri nazar ne mujhe rashk-e-mahtab kiya

gila kiya tha taghaful ka 'chand' kyun us se

tujhi ko ashk-e-nadamat ne aap aab kiya
