basaraton pe bhanwar inkishaf karta hai

basāratoñ pe bhañvar inkishāf kartā hai

ki bulbule kā samundar tavāf kartā hai

ajiib bhūl-bhulayyāñ hai justujū ḳhud kī

har ek naqsh-e-qadam inhirāf kartā hai

mazā to jab hai ki ham us ko nā ḳhudā kar leñ

havā kā ruḳh jo hamāre ḳhilāf kartā hai

jise gunāh kī taufīq hī na ho tā-umr

use ḳhudā na zamāna muaaf kartā hai

lahū kī maar se bachiye ki josh meñ aa.e

to qatra qatra badan meñ shigāf kartā hai

balā se rañg-e-taġhazzul mirī ġhazal meñ nahīñ

nukīlā lahja ghuTan ko to saaf kartā hai

basaraton pe bhanwar inkishaf karta hai

ki bulbule ka samundar tawaf karta hai

ajib bhul-bhulayyan hai justuju KHud ki

har ek naqsh-e-qadam inhiraf karta hai

maza to jab hai ki hum us ko na KHuda kar len

hawa ka ruKH jo hamare KHilaf karta hai

jise gunah ki taufiq hi na ho ta-umr

use KHuda na zamana muaf karta hai

lahu ki mar se bachiye ki josh mein aae

to qatra qatra badan mein shigaf karta hai

bala se rang-e-taghazzul meri ghazal mein nahin

nukila lahja ghuTan ko to saf karta hai
