bātoñ bātoñ meñ kiyā ḳhuuñ aaj ik dil-gīr kā
vaah kyā kahnā tirī rañgīnī-e-taqrīr kā
be-sabab kab hai taḌapnā āshiq-e-dil-gīr kā
siine se paikāñ nikaltā hai tumhāre tiir kā
nau giraftāroñ kī vahshat kā bhī ho kuchh imtihāñ
aaj sunñā chāhiye naala na.ī zanjīr kā
bā.is-e-hairat huā bīmāri-e-dil kā asar
dekho ab to rañg uḌtā hai mirī tasvīr kā
bas bas ai zālim kahāñ tak imtihān-e-zabt-e-āh
ab to dam ghuTne lagā hai āshiq-e-dil-gīr kā
mar gayā hai aap kā vahshī udāsī chhā.ī hai
dīdanī hai aaj aalam ḳhāna-e-zanjīr kā
dil bhī dhaḌkā aap kā zulfeñ bhī bal khāne lagīñ
aur abhī zindāñ meñ naala hai mirī zanjīr kā
baaton baaton mein kiya KHun aaj ek dil-gir ka
wah kya kahna teri rangini-e-taqrir ka
be-sabab kab hai taDapna aashiq-e-dil-gir ka
sine se paikan nikalta hai tumhaare tir ka
nau giraftaron ki wahshat ka bhi ho kuchh imtihan
aaj sunna chahiye nala nai zanjir ka
bais-e-hairat hua bimari-e-dil ka asar
dekho ab to rang uDta hai meri taswir ka
bas bas ai zalim kahan tak imtihan-e-zabt-e-ah
ab to dam ghuTne laga hai aashiq-e-dil-gir ka
mar gaya hai aap ka wahshi udasi chhai hai
didani hai aaj aalam KHana-e-zanjir ka
dil bhi dhaDka aap ka zulfen bhi bal khane lagin
aur abhi zindan mein nala hai meri zanjir ka
