tū urūs-e-shām-e-ḳhayāl bhī tū jamāl-e-rū-e-e-sahar bhī hai
ye zarūr hai ki ba-īñ-hama mirā ehtimām-e-nazar bhī hai
ye mirā nasīb hai ham-nashīñ sar-e-rāh bhī na mile kahīñ
vahī merā jāda-e-justujū vahī un kī rāhguzar bhī hai
hama kashmakash mirī zindagī kabhī aa ke dekh ye bebasī
tirī yaad vaj.h-e-sukūñ sahī vahī rāz-e-dīda-e-tar bhī hai
tire qurb ne jo baḌhā diye kabhī miT sake na vo fāsle
vahī paañv haiñ vahī aable vahī apnā zauq-e-safar bhī hai
ba-hazār dānish-o-āgahī mirī maslahat hai abhī yahī
maiñ asīr-e-zulmat-e-shab sahī mirī dastaras meñ sahar bhī hai
