aatish-e-bagh aisi bhaDki hai ki jalti hai hawa

ātish-e-bāġh aisī bhaḌkī hai ki jaltī hai havā

kūcha-e-gul se dhuāñ ho kar nikaltī hai havā

girya-e-ushshāq se kīchaḌ hai aise jā-ba-jā

thaam kar dīvār-o-dar galiyoñ meñ chaltī hai havā

gulshan-e-ālam kī nairañgī se hotā hai yaqīñ

phir shagūfa phūltā hai phir badaltī hai havā

dekhiye jā kar zarā kaifiyyat-e-josh-e-bahār

jhūmte haiñ peḌ gir gir kar sañbhaltī hai havā

nā-rasā.ī dekhnā uḌtā hai jab merā ġhubār

yaar ke koThe kī kānis se phisaltī hai havā

garmiyoñ meñ sair gulzāroñ kī bhātī hai mujhe

har qadam par pañkhiyā phūloñ kī jhaltī hai havā

'bahr' pankhā haath se rakh do nihāyat zaar huuñ

mauj-e-dariyā kī tarah mujh ko kuchaltī hai havā

aatish-e-bagh aisi bhaDki hai ki jalti hai hawa

kucha-e-gul se dhuan ho kar nikalti hai hawa

girya-e-ushshaq se kichaD hai aise ja-ba-ja

tham kar diwar-o-dar galiyon mein chalti hai hawa

gulshan-e-alam ki nairangi se hota hai yaqin

phir shagufa phulta hai phir badalti hai hawa

dekhiye ja kar zara kaifiyyat-e-josh-e-bahaar

jhumte hain peD gir gir kar sanbhalti hai hawa

na-rasai dekhna uDta hai jab mera ghubar

yar ke koThe ki kanis se phisalti hai hawa

garmiyon mein sair gulzaron ki bhati hai mujhe

har qadam par pankhiya phulon ki jhalti hai hawa

'bahr' pankha hath se rakh do nihayat zar hun

mauj-e-dariya ki tarah mujh ko kuchalti hai hawa
