ab dil ko humne banda-e-jaanan bana diya

asiron mein bhi ho jaen jo kuchh aashufta-sar paida

wo samne jab aa jate hain sakte ka sa aalam hota hai

na raha zauq-e-rang-o-bu mujhko

anjam-e-wafa bhi dekh liya ab kis liye sar KHam hota hai

paigham-e-rihai diya har chand qaza ne

ye itr be-ziyan nahin nasim-e-nau-bahaar ki

uf kya maza mila sitam-e-rozgar mein

zindan-nasib hun mere qabu mein sar nahin

jo tasawwur se mawara na hua

kahan taqat ye rusi ko kahan himmat ye german ko

sada fariyaad ki aae kahin se

husn-e-fitrat ki aabru mujhse

zabanon par nahin ab tur ka fasana barson se
