vaqt ajiib aa gayā mansab-o-jāh ke liye
sāhib-e-dil bhī chal paḌe taḳht-o-kulāh ke liye
mire ġhanīm-e-surḳh-rū arsa-e-sad-shikast meñ
koī naved-e-sar-ḳhushī merī sipāh ke liye
us kā hadaf bhī dekhnā merī taraf bhī dekhnā
qatl-e-anā kī shart hai is se nibāh ke liye
mausam-e-gul ko kyā ḳhabar shorish-e-abr-o-bād meñ
tā.ir-e-dil udaas hai shāḳh-e-panāh ke liye
ek navā-e-ātishīñ halqa-ba-halqa jism meñ
phir huī hai tāza-dam taaza gunāh ke liye
kahtā thā koī sham.a-ruḳh dekh mire charāġh-e-shab
koī kiran bachā ke rakh roz-e-siyāh ke liye
ik shab-e-māh ke liye dil hai lahū lahū 'razī'
aañkh sitāra-kesh hai ik shab-e-māh ke liye
