hai kis qadar halāk-e-fareb-e-vafā-e-gul

bulbul ke kārobār pe haiñ ḳhanda-hā-e-gul

āzādī-e-nasīm mubārak ki har taraf

TuuTe paḌe haiñ halqa-e-dām-e-havā-e-gul

jo thā so mauj-e-rañg ke dhoke meñ mar gayā

ai vaa.e nāla-e-lab-e-ḳhūnīñ-navā-e-gul

ḳhush-hāl us harīf-e-siyah-mast kā ki jo

rakhtā ho misl-e-sāya-e-gul sar-ba-pā-e-gul

ījād kartī hai use tere liye bahār

merā raqīb hai nafas-e-itr-sā-e-gul

sharminda rakhte haiñ mujhe bād-e-bahār se

mīnā-e-be-sharāb o dil-e-be-havā-e-gul

satvat se tere jalva-e-husn-e-ġhuyūr kī

ḳhuuñ hai mirī nigāh meñ rañg-e-adā-e-gul

tere hī jalve kā hai ye dhokā ki aaj tak

be-iḳhtiyār dauḌe hai gul dar-qafā-e-gul

'ġhālib' mujhe hai us se ham-āġhoshī aarzū

jis kā ḳhayāl hai gul-e-jeb-e-qabā-e-gul

dīvānagāñ kā chāra faroġh-e-bahār hai

hai shāḳh-e-gul meñ panja-e-ḳhūbāñ bajā.e gul

mizhgāñ talak rasā.ī-e-laḳht-e-jigar kahāñ

ai vaa.e gar nigāh na ho āshnā-e-gul
