bane jo shams-o-qamar nang-e-asman nikle
bane jo shams-o-qamar nañg-e-āsmāñ nikle
jinheñ charāġh samajhte rahe dhuāñ nikle
zarā sī der meñ ik riñd ho gayā momin
yaqīñ use bhī na thā ham bhī ḳhush-gumāñ nikle
na ham meñ jauhar-e-'ġhālib' na un meñ shān-e-'zafar'
to kis qusūr meñ koī qasīda-ḳhvāñ nikle
kisī kī chaah meñ jab jaañ bhī ham gañvā aa.e
to lutf-e-yār ke qisse kahāñ kahāñ nikle
maiñ sochtā huuñ ki tārīḳh kyā kahegī hameñ
sahar ba-dosh chale shab ke pāsbāñ nikle
hadaf hamīñ ko banānā ki mo'atabar Thahro
is anjuman meñ agar zikr-e-dostāñ nikle
jo sañg-e-mīl the be-ābrū hue 'ḳhālid'
jo gard-e-pā bhī na the mīr-e-kārvāñ nikle
bane jo shams-o-qamar nang-e-asman nikle
jinhen charagh samajhte rahe dhuan nikle
zara si der mein ek rind ho gaya momin
yaqin use bhi na tha hum bhi KHush-guman nikle
na hum mein jauhar-e-'ghaalib' na un mein shan-e-'zafar'
to kis qusur mein koi qasida-KHwan nikle
kisi ki chah mein jab jaan bhi hum ganwa aae
to lutf-e-yar ke qisse kahan kahan nikle
main sochta hun ki tariKH kya kahegi hamein
sahar ba-dosh chale shab ke pasban nikle
hadaf hamin ko banana ki mo'atabar Thahro
is anjuman mein agar zikr-e-dostan nikle
jo sang-e-mil the be-abru hue 'KHalid'
jo gard-e-pa bhi na the mir-e-karwan nikle
