sarzamīn-e-zulf meñ kyā dil Thikāne lag gayā
ik musāfir thā sar-e-manzil Thikāne lag gayā
gulshan-e-hastī nahīñ jā-e-shaguftan ai sabā
dekh jo ġhuncha gayā yaañ khil Thikāne lag gayā
aabrū rakh lī ḳhudā ne us kī ham-chashmoñ meñ aah
teġh-e-abrū kā tirī ghā.el Thikāne lag gayā
fursat-e-yak-dam pe phūlā thā hubāb-e-āb-jū
thā jo naqsh-e-saf.ha-e-bātil Thikāne lag gayā
jān-e-shīrīñ dī tire āshiq ne bhī juuñ kohkan
sar se apne maar kar ik sil Thikāne lag gayā
rakh qadam hoshyār ho kar ishq kī manzil meñ aah
jo huā is raah meñ ġhāfil Thikāne lag gayā
chhāñv meñ naḳhl-e-mizha kī loTtā hai tifl-e-ashk
ḳhaak meñ yā rafta rafta mil Thikāne lag gayā
āshnā koī na dekhā ġharq-e-bahr-e-ishq kā
ek dam meñ jo tah-e-sāhil Thikāne lag gayā
be-kalī kyūñkar na hove us kī furqat meñ 'nasīr'
ishq meñ us gul-badan ke dil Thikāne lag gayā
