ye shā.irī kā takalluf badan pe achchhā libās

sab iltizām usī ek be-vafā ke liye

ye shairi ka takalluf badan pe achchha libas

sab iltizam usi ek be-wafa ke liye

mujh ko da.avā nahīñ yūsuf sā hasīñ hone kā

phir bhī hai merā zuleḳhāoñ meñ charchā sāhab

mujh ko dawa nahin yusuf sa hasin hone ka

phir bhi hai mera zuleKHaon mein charcha sahab

ab kahāñ miltā hai āshiq koī sachchā sāhab

zaḳhm hī koī lagā deñ mujhe achchhā sāhab

ab kahan milta hai aashiq koi sachcha sahab

zaKHm hi koi laga den mujhe achchha sahab

itnī mahñgā.ī hai marnā bhī agar chāhūñ to

zahr miltā nahīñ bāzār meñ sastā sāhab

itni mahngai hai marna bhi agar chahun to

zahr milta nahin bazar mein sasta sahab

kahne ko faqat ibn-e-alī ibn-e-alī haiñ

dekho to kahīñ jazba-e-haidar nahīñ miltā

kahne ko faqat ibn-e-ali ibn-e-ali hain

dekho to kahin jazba-e-haidar nahin milta
