ruuh larzāñ aañkh mahv-e-dīd dil naam thā

ishq āġhāz bhī shā.ista-e-anjām thā

rafta rafta ishq ko tasvīr-e-ġham kar diyā

husn bhī kitnā ḳharāb-e-gardish-e-ayyām thā

ġham-kade meñ dahr ke yuuñ to añdherā thā magar

ishq dāġh-e-siyah-baḳhtī charāġh-e-shām thā

terī duzdīda-nigāhī yuuñ to nā-mahsūs thī

haañ magar daftar daftar husn paiġhām thā

shaaq ahl-e-shauq par thiiñ us ismat-dāriyāñ

sach hai lekin husn dar-parda bahut bad-nām thā

mahv the gulzār-e-rañgā-rañg ke naqsh-o-nigār
