bahut ajib hai tamir koi ghar karna

bahut ajiib hai ta.amīr koī ghar karnā

ram-e-ġhazāl ko mahdūd-e-bām-o-dar karnā

numū kā zor thā ḳhushbū fazā meñ lahrā.ī

yahī to hai qafas-e-rañg meñ basar karnā

qarār maut hai manzil-pazīr qadmoñ kī

musāfiroñ ko phir āmāda-e-safar karnā

zamāna yaad se terī lipaT ke ro.egā

mushāhida tū ai uftāda-e-nazar karnā

maiñ jis se kaT ke judā ho gayā tanāvar thā

hai us ke naam raqam sāya-e-shajar karnā

ba.iid kyā hai ki jugnū se chāñd Dhal jaa.e

zarā sī aañch ko is tarah sho.ala-var karnā

kabhī latīf badan par shikan bhī phabtī hai

kabhī ye pairahan ālūda lams-bhar karnā

bahut ajib hai tamir koi ghar karna

ram-e-ghazal ko mahdud-e-baam-o-dar karna

numu ka zor tha KHushbu faza mein lahrai

yahi to hai qafas-e-rang mein basar karna

qarar maut hai manzil-pazir qadmon ki

musafiron ko phir aamada-e-safar karna

zamana yaad se teri lipaT ke roega

mushahida tu ai uftada-e-nazar karna

main jis se kaT ke juda ho gaya tanawar tha

hai us ke nam raqam saya-e-shajar karna

baid kya hai ki jugnu se chand Dhal jae

zara si aanch ko is tarah shoala-war karna

kabhi latif badan par shikan bhi phabti hai

kabhi ye pairahan aaluda lams-bhar karna
