faroġh-e-dīda-o-dil lāla-e-sahar kī tarah

ujālā ban ke raho sham-e-rahguzar kī tarah

payambaroñ kī tarah se jiyo zamāne meñ

payām-e-shauq bano daulat-e-hunar kī tarah

ye zindagī bhī koī zindagī hai ham-nafaso

sitāra ban ke jale bujh ga.e sharar kī tarah

Darā sakī na mujhe tīrgī zamāne kī

añdherī raat se guzrā huuñ maiñ qamar kī tarah

samundaroñ ke talātum ne mujh ko paalā hai

chamak rahā huuñ isī vāste guhar kī tarah

tamām koh-o-til-o-bahr-o-bar haiñ zer-e-nagīñ

khulā huā huuñ maiñ shāhīñ ke bāl-o-par kī tarah
