aankh jo ishwa-e-pur-kar liye phirti hai

aañkh jo ishva-e-pur-kār liye phirtī hai

muzhda-e-tāle-e-bedār liye phirtī hai

naam se daad bhī miltī hai suḳhan ko aksar

charḳh par shohrat-e-fankār liye phirtī hai

ḳhaak se phuul nikalte haiñ mahaktā hai chaman

kyā zamīñ tabla-e-attār liye phirtī hai

koī mahfil bhī nahīñ jo na ho tā.īd-talab

dar-ba-dar jur.at-e-inkār liye phirtī hai

ban ga.ī parda-nashīñ khīñch ke palkoñ ke hisār

ham ko lekin nigah-e-yār liye phirtī hai

pheñk kar ḳhaak meñ aqdār ko tahqīr ke saath

zindagī dirham-o-dīnār liye phirtī hai

aankh jo ishwa-e-pur-kar liye phirti hai

muzhda-e-tale-e-bedar liye phirti hai

nam se dad bhi milti hai suKHan ko aksar

charKH par shohrat-e-fankar liye phirti hai

KHak se phul nikalte hain mahakta hai chaman

kya zamin tabla-e-attar liye phirti hai

koi mahfil bhi nahin jo na ho taid-talab

dar-ba-dar jurat-e-inkar liye phirti hai

ban gai parda-nashin khinch ke palkon ke hisar

hum ko lekin nigah-e-yar liye phirti hai

phenk kar KHak mein aqdar ko tahqir ke sath

zindagi dirham-o-dinar liye phirti hai
