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
