zaḳhm to zaḳhm hai kuchh der meñ bhar jā.egā

lafz nashtar hai rag-e-jāñ meñ utar jā.egā

terī rahmat kā ye dariyā vo musāfir hai ki jo

merī bastī se dabe paañv guzar jā.egā

rañg kachchā hai tire shahr-e-vafā kā jānāñ

ġham kī ik lahr chalegī to utar jā.egā

aa terī maañg meñ is shaam kī surḳhī bhar duuñ

us kī taz.īn se ye husn nikhar jā.egā

is qadar maut ke sāmāñ kā hai ambār lagā

kal kā insān jo dekhegā to Dar jā.egā

zulm kī dhuup meñ nafrat to panap saktī hai

pyaar to phuul hai is dhuup meñ mar jā.egā

pahle barbād to kar le ye zamīñ kā chehra

phir ye insān kisī aur nagar jā.egā
