chaman chaman jo ye subh-e-bahaar ki zau hai

chaman chaman jo ye sub.h-e-bahār kī zau hai

tire tabassum-e-rañgīñ kā ek partav hai

ḳhizāñ kī raat ke qātil kahāñ ga.e dekheñ

ki jo lahū hai charāġh-e-bahār kī lau hai

chale na saath zamāna to is ko yuuñ kahiye

Thahar gayā hai musāfir ki jāda-e-nau hai

bujhā hai dil to na samjho ki bujh gayā ġham bhī

ki ab charāġh ke badle charāġh kī lau hai

mirī zamīñ pe jabīn-e-araq-araq ke sivā

na qatra-e-mai-e-rañgīñ na dāna-e-jau hai

savāl vaqt kī parchhā.iyoñ se ham bhī kareñ

hamāre dil meñ bhī halkā sā ek partav hai

kaTe jo tīrgi-e-shām-e-ġham to kaise 'shamīm'

ḳhafā ḳhafā sī kisī ke ḳhayāl kī zau hai

chaman chaman jo ye subh-e-bahaar ki zau hai

tere tabassum-e-rangin ka ek partaw hai

KHizan ki raat ke qatil kahan gae dekhen

ki jo lahu hai charagh-e-bahaar ki lau hai

chale na sath zamana to is ko yun kahiye

Thahar gaya hai musafir ki jada-e-nau hai

bujha hai dil to na samjho ki bujh gaya gham bhi

ki ab charagh ke badle charagh ki lau hai

meri zamin pe jabin-e-araq-araq ke siwa

na qatra-e-mai-e-rangin na dana-e-jau hai

sawal waqt ki parchhaiyon se hum bhi karen

hamare dil mein bhi halka sa ek partaw hai

kaTe jo tirgi-e-sham-e-gham to kaise 'shamim'

KHafa KHafa si kisi ke KHayal ki zau hai
