nigāh-e-nāz kā hāsil hai e'tibār mujhe

havā-e-shauq zarā aur bhī nikhār mujhe

kabhī zabāñ na khulī arz-e-mudda.ā ke liye

kiyā hai pās-e-adab ne bhī sharmsār mujhe

purāne zaḳhm na.e daaġh saath saath rahe

milī to kaisī milī da.avat-e-bahār mujhe

phir ahl-e-hosh ke narġhe meñ aa gayā huuñ maiñ

ḳhudā ke vāste ik baar phir pukār mujhe

bikhar rahī hai mohabbat kī raushnī har sū

uḌā rahā hai koī sūrat-e-ġhubār mujhe

na jaane kaun sā hai sho.abada ta.āqub meñ

ki aaj us ne kahā hai vafā shi.ār mujhe

jo aap aa.eñ to ye faisla bhī ho jaa.e

dikhā.ī detā hai mausam to ḳhush-gavār mujhe

hazār baar sukūn-e-hayāt kī had meñ

hazār baar kiyā dil ne be-qarār mujhe

mire shabāb mirī zindagī mire maazī

zabān-e-hāl se ik baar phir pukār mujhe

vo baat jis pe madār-e-vafā hai 'yazdānī'

vo baat kahnā paḌegī huzūr-e-yār mujhe
