ghubar sa hai sar-e-shaKH-sar kahte hain
ġhubār sā hai sar-e-shāḳh-sār kahte haiñ
chalā hai qāfila-e-nau-bahār kahte haiñ
badal ga.ī haiñ jahāñ par vafā kī sab rasmeñ
ujaḌ ga.e haiñ diloñ ke dayār kahte haiñ
is ek baat se gulchīñ kā dil dhaḌaktā hai
ki ham sabā se hadīs-e-bahār kahte haiñ
ye hajv-e-mai to kisī maslahat se hai varna
faqīh-e-shahr bhī hai bāda-ḳhvār kahte haiñ
jise kabhī sar-e-mimbar na kah sakā vaa.iz
vo baat ahl-e-junūñ zer-e-dār kahte haiñ
'salīm' sāya-e-gul ho ki saḳhtī-e-zindāñ
junūñ hai sheva-e-mardān-e-kār kahte haiñ
ghubar sa hai sar-e-shaKH-sar kahte hain
chala hai qafila-e-nau-bahaar kahte hain
badal gai hain jahan par wafa ki sab rasmen
ujaD gae hain dilon ke dayar kahte hain
is ek baat se gulchin ka dil dhaDakta hai
ki hum saba se hadis-e-bahaar kahte hain
ye hajw-e-mai to kisi maslahat se hai warna
faqih-e-shahr bhi hai baada-KHwar kahte hain
jise kabhi sar-e-mimbar na kah saka waiz
wo baat ahl-e-junun zer-e-dar kahte hain
'salim' saya-e-gul ho ki saKHti-e-zindan
junun hai shewa-e-mardan-e-kar kahte hain
