sarv-o-saman bhī mauj-e-nasīm-e-sahar bhī hai
ai gul tire chaman meñ koī chashm-e-tar bhī hai
saaya hai zindagī pe vo yās-o-umīd kā
har shab shab-e-darāz bhī hai muḳhtasar bhī hai
kuchh der pī leñ kākul-o-āriz kī chhāñv meñ
jādū-e-shām bhī hai fusūn-e-sahar bhī hai
duniyā sune to qissa-e-ġham hai bahut tavīl
haañ tum suno to qissa-e-ġham muḳhtasar bhī hai
