goyā chaman chaman na thā

aisā ujaaḌ ban na thā

ḳhuuñ se tar ravish ravish

rañg-e-gul-o-saman na thā

ḳhār-e-alam se taar taar

kaun sā pairahan na thā

sikka-e-dil ḳharāb-hāl

us kā kahīñ chalan na thā

aaj agar guzar gayā

kal kā koī jatan na thā

bazm-e-adab bhī dam-ba-ḳhud

kahne ko kuchh suḳhan na thā

nasr tamām tar fuzūl

sher asar-e-fagan na thā
