zindagi guzri meri KHushk shajar ki surat

zindagī guzrī mirī ḳhushk shajar kī sūrat

maiñ ne dekhī na kabhī barg-o-samar kī sūrat

ḳhuub jī bhar ke rulā.eñ jo nazar meñ un kī

qīmtī hoñ mire aañsū bhī guhar kī sūrat

apne chehre se jo zulfoñ ko haTāyā us ne

dekh lī shaam ne tābinda sahar kī sūrat

is na.e daur kī tahzīb se allāh bachā.e

masḳh hotī nazar aatī hai bashar kī sūrat

haram-o-dair se matlab na kalīsā se ġharaz

kaash ye bhī kahīñ hote tire ghar kī sūrat

nek a.amāl bhī auroñ ke nahīñ japte haiñ

aib apne nazar aate haiñ hunar kī sūrat

kyā koī us pe bhī uftād paḌī hai 'ātish'

abr barsā hai mire dīda-e-tar kī sūrat

zindagi guzri meri KHushk shajar ki surat

main ne dekhi na kabhi barg-o-samar ki surat

KHub ji bhar ke rulaen jo nazar mein un ki

qimti hon mere aansu bhi guhar ki surat

apne chehre se jo zulfon ko haTaya us ne

dekh li sham ne tabinda sahar ki surat

is nae daur ki tahzib se allah bachae

masKH hoti nazar aati hai bashar ki surat

haram-o-dair se matlab na kalisa se gharaz

kash ye bhi kahin hote tere ghar ki surat

nek aamal bhi auron ke nahin japte hain

aib apne nazar aate hain hunar ki surat

kya koi us pe bhi uftad paDi hai 'atish'

abr barsa hai mere dida-e-tar ki surat
