le ke dil kahte ho ulfat kyā hai
husn vaalo ye sharārat kyā hai
ik uchaTtī sī taġhāful kī nigāh
hīla-e-arz-e-mohabbat kyā hai
ḳhud hī nādim huuñ vafā par apnī
us tabassum kī zarūrat kyā hai
mujh ko bohtān-e-havas bhī manzūr
kaun samjhegā haqīqat kyā hai
nikhat-o-nūr ke sāñsoñ kā kamāñ
varna tū kyā mirī sūrat kyā hai
qāmat-e-yār kī bigḌī huī shakl
fitna-e-roz-e-qayāmat kyā hai
kis kī himmat ki tujhe saath lagā.e
tū ba-juz mauj-e-latāfat kyā hai
rabt mahsūs kī uljhan ke sivā
aap kā jazba-e-nafrat kyā hai
ashk-e-ġham buuñd hai paanī kī magar
ye bhī ma.alūm hai qīmat kyā hai
dāman-e-nāz kī jhāḌī huī gard
aur insāñ kī haqīqat kyā hai
maiñ ki ik gauhar-e-ālūda-e-ḳhāk
kuchh na samjhā mirī qīmat kyā hai
tālib-e-dād-e-suḳhan kyuuñ ho 'nisār'
aap ke sher meñ jiddat kyā hai
