abr kya ghir ghir ke aaya khul gaya

abr kyā ghir ghir ke aayā khul gayā

bas sabāt-e-bahr-e-duniyā khul gayā

rāz-e-dil kitnā chhupāyā khul gayā

haal is daulat-sarā kā khul gayā

husn-e-āriz aarzī thā khul gayā

ḳhat ke aate hī lifāfa khul gayā

aañkh se rūmāl sarkā ba.ad-e-marg

chashm-e-tar kā aaj pardā khul gayā

tum jo bole ho gayā sābit dahan

bātoñ hī bātoñ meñ uqda khul gayā

kaT gayā sar hal huī mushkil mirī

nāḳhun-e-ḳhanjar se uqda khul gayā

be-zabānī bāteñ sunvāne lagī

gāliyoñ par muñh tumhārā khul gayā

thā qalam-band apnī āzādī kā haal

ḳhat ko jab us ne lapeTā khul gayā

ḳhat pe ḳhat laa.e jo murġh-e-nāma-bar

bole in murġhoñ kā Darbā khul gayā

abr kya ghir ghir ke aaya khul gaya

bas sabaat-e-bahr-e-duniya khul gaya

raaz-e-dil kitna chhupaya khul gaya

haal is daulat-sara ka khul gaya

husn-e-ariz aarzi tha khul gaya

KHat ke aate hi lifafa khul gaya

aankh se rumal sarka baad-e-marg

chashm-e-tar ka aaj parda khul gaya

tum jo bole ho gaya sabit dahan

baaton hi baaton mein uqda khul gaya

kaT gaya sar hal hui mushkil meri

naKHun-e-KHanjar se uqda khul gaya

be-zabani baaten sunwane lagi

galiyon par munh tumhaara khul gaya

tha qalam-band apni aazadi ka haal

KHat ko jab us ne lapeTa khul gaya

KHat pe KHat lae jo murgh-e-nama-bar

bole in murghon ka Darba khul gaya
