ai musavvir sūrat-e-dil-gīr khīñch
le hamārā rañg bhar tasvīr khīñch
ġharq-e-sāġhar kar ḳhumār-e-zindagī
tā-ḳhat-e-bāda ḳhat-e-taqdīr khīñch
le chalī hai mujh ko sahrā kī kashish
chāra-gar le ab mirī zanjīr khīñch
khīñchtā huuñ dāman-e-dilbar ko maiñ
ai duā tū dāman-e-tāsīr khīñch
hai ye 'nātiq' jalva-e-husn-e-suḳhan
sher jab likkhe to ik tasvīr khīñch
