ba-rang-e-nikhat-e-gul hai chaman mein aashiyan apna

ba-rañg-e-nik.hat-e-gul hai chaman meñ āshiyāñ apnā

kisī ke rāzdāñ ham haiñ na koī rāz-dāñ apnā

chale to jā rahe haiñ kyā batā.eñ kal kahāñ hoñge

ḳhudā ma.alūm kis manzil pe Thahre kārvāñ apnā

yahī achchhā huā mahfil meñ terī chup rahe varna

ġham-e-dil kī kahānī aur phir tarz-e-bayāñ apnā

supurd-e-ishq ham to kar chuke sarmāya-e-hastī

jo ahl-e-hosh haiñ sochā kareñ sūd-o-ziyāñ apnā

huā hī chāhtī hai shaam bhī ab sub.h piirī kī

magar ab tak to hai pahlū meñ 'qaisar' dil javāñ apnā

ba-rang-e-nikhat-e-gul hai chaman mein aashiyan apna

kisi ke raazdan hum hain na koi raaz-dan apna

chale to ja rahe hain kya bataen kal kahan honge

KHuda malum kis manzil pe Thahre karwan apna

yahi achchha hua mahfil mein teri chup rahe warna

gham-e-dil ki kahani aur phir tarz-e-bayan apna

supurd-e-ishq hum to kar chuke sarmaya-e-hasti

jo ahl-e-hosh hain socha karen sud-o-ziyan apna

hua hi chahti hai sham bhi ab subh piri ki

magar ab tak to hai pahlu mein 'qaisar' dil jawan apna
