rā.egāñ jaatī na kyuuñ phir hama-koshī us kī
thī ġharaz-kār bahut halqa-ba-goshī us kī
har taraf us ne diyā jism-numā.ī ko rivāj
ḳhuub mash.hūr huī sāya-faroshī us kī
bar-sar-e-ām mirī chup kī jo tash.hīr huī
mushta.il ho uThī āvāz-bagoshī us kī
mun.akis ho na sakī koī bhī sūrat us se
ya.anī be-kār ga.ī ā.ina-poshī us kī
aa gayā vo mirī ḳhurshed-panāhī ke tale
mujh se dekhī na ga.ī ḳhāna-badoshī us kī
be-farishta huā kab shāna ḳhabar tak na huī
mujh pe taarī thī kuchh is tarah be-hoshī us kī
ḳhaas kar lījiye 'parvez' kā saanī koī
aam hone ko hai dil-doz ḳhamoshī us kī
