andar se muntashir hun ki bahar shikasta hai

andar se muntashir huuñ ki bāhar shikasta hai

maiñ ḳhud shikasta huuñ ki mirā ghar shikasta hai

har shai ke ḳhāl-o-ḳhad haiñ mire ḳhuuñ meñ muntashir

har jism mere jism ke andar shikasta hai

niklā thā kis kī naav meñ sāhil ke chaav meñ

ab tak huuñ maiñ bahāv meñ lañgar shikasta hai

ik sañg se hai fikr-e-arastū sharar-numā

ik aa.ine meñ aks-e-sikandar shikasta hai

ik mahviyat ki hairat-e-sāhil hai har taraf

ik kaifiyat ki saarā samundar shikasta hai

yā shīsha-e-nigah hī milā mujh ko chūr-chūr

yā shīsha-e-jihat meñ ye manzar shikasta hai

'kausar' badal ga.e haiñ parastish ke zā.iqe

mehrāb sar-ḳhamīda hai mimbar shikasta hai

andar se muntashir hun ki bahar shikasta hai

main KHud shikasta hun ki mera ghar shikasta hai

har shai ke KHal-o-KHad hain mere KHun mein muntashir

har jism mere jism ke andar shikasta hai

nikla tha kis ki naw mein sahil ke chaw mein

ab tak hun main bahaw mein langar shikasta hai

ek sang se hai fikr-e-arastu sharar-numa

ek aaine mein aks-e-sikandar shikasta hai

ek mahwiyat ki hairat-e-sahil hai har taraf

ek kaifiyat ki sara samundar shikasta hai

ya shisha-e-nigah hi mila mujh ko chur-chur

ya shisha-e-jihat mein ye manzar shikasta hai

'kausar' badal gae hain parastish ke zaiqe

mehrab sar-KHamida hai mimbar shikasta hai
