ai musawwir jo meri taswir khinch

ai musavvir jo mirī tasvīr khīñch

hasrat-āgīñ ġham-zada dil-gīr khīñch

jazb bhī kuchh ai tasavvur chāhiye

ḳhud khiñche jis shoḳh kī tasvīr khīñch

ai mohabbat dāġh-e-dil murjhā na jaa.eñ

itr in phūloñ kā be-tāḳhīr khīñch

aa butoñ meñ dekh zāhid shān-e-haq

dair meñ chal nāra-e-takbīr khīñch

ek sāġhar pī ke būḌhā ho javān

vo sharāb ai mai-kade ke pair khīñch

dil na us but kā dukhe kahtā hai ishq

khīñch jo naala vo be-tāsīr khīñch

dil idhar betāb hai tarkash udhar

khīñchtā huuñ aah maiñ tū tiir khīñch

kuchh to kaam aa hijr meñ o iztirāb

shoḳhī-e-mahbūb kī tasvīr khīñch

qais se dasht-e-junūñ meñ kah 'jalāl'

aage aage chal mire zanjīr khīñch

ai musawwir jo meri taswir khinch

hasrat-agin gham-zada dil-gir khinch

jazb bhi kuchh ai tasawwur chahiye

KHud khinche jis shoKH ki taswir khinch

ai mohabbat dagh-e-dil murjha na jaen

itr in phulon ka be-taKHir khinch

aa buton mein dekh zahid shan-e-haq

dair mein chal nara-e-takbir khinch

ek saghar pi ke buDha ho jawan

wo sharab ai mai-kade ke pair khinch

dil na us but ka dukhe kahta hai ishq

khinch jo nala wo be-tasir khinch

dil idhar betab hai tarkash udhar

khinchta hun aah main tu tir khinch

kuchh to kaam aa hijr mein o iztirab

shoKHi-e-mahbub ki taswir khinch

qais se dasht-e-junun mein kah 'jalal'

aage aage chal mere zanjir khinch
