apni rudad kahun ya gham-e-duniya likkhun

apnī rūdād kahūñ yā ġham-e-duniyā likkhūñ

kaun sī baat kahūñ kaun sā qissa likkhūñ

bāb-e-tahrīr meñ hai lauh-o-qalam par ta.azīr

barg-e-sāda hī pe ab harf-e-tamannā likkhūñ

shaam to shaam thī ab sub.h kā manzar dekho

kis kī maiñ hajv kahūñ kis kā qasīda likkhūñ

us sitam pesha kā e.ajāz-e-sitam hī hogā

dast-e-qātil ko agar dast-e-masīhā likkhūñ

itnī be-rabt hai tafsīl-e-ġham-e-zīst 'sharar'

ḳhud samajhne ke liye is kā ḳhulāsa likkhūñ

apni rudad kahun ya gham-e-duniya likkhun

kaun si baat kahun kaun sa qissa likkhun

bab-e-tahrir mein hai lauh-o-qalam par tazir

barg-e-sada hi pe ab harf-e-tamanna likkhun

sham to sham thi ab subh ka manzar dekho

kis ki main hajw kahun kis ka qasida likkhun

us sitam pesha ka eajaz-e-sitam hi hoga

dast-e-qatil ko agar dast-e-masiha likkhun

itni be-rabt hai tafsil-e-gham-e-zist 'sharar'

KHud samajhne ke liye is ka KHulasa likkhun
