bazm-e-shahanshah mein ashaar ka daftar khula

bazm-e-shāhanshāh meñ ash.ār kā daftar khulā

rakhiyo yā rab ye dar-e-ganjīna-e-gauhar khulā

shab huī phir anjum-e-raḳhshanda kā manzar khulā

is takalluf se ki goyā but-kade kā dar khulā

garche huuñ dīvāna par kyuuñ dost kā khā.ūñ fareb

āstīñ meñ dashna pinhāñ haath meñ nashtar khulā

go na samjhūñ us kī bāteñ go na pā.ūñ us kā bhed

par ye kyā kam hai ki mujh se vo parī-paikar khulā

hai ḳhayāl-e-husn meñ husn-e-amal kā sā ḳhayāl

ḳhuld kā ik dar hai merī gor ke andar khulā

muñh na khulne par hai vo aalam ki dekhā hī nahīñ

zulf se baḌh kar naqāb us shoḳh ke muñh par khulā

dar pe rahne ko kahā aur kah ke kaisā phir gayā

jitne arse meñ mirā lipTā huā bistar khulā

kyuuñ añdherī hai shab-e-ġham hai balāoñ kā nuzūl

aaj udhar hī ko rahegā dīda-e-aḳhtar khulā

kyā rahūñ ġhurbat meñ ḳhush jab ho havādis kā ye haal

naama laatā hai vatan se nāma-bar aksar khulā

us kī ummat meñ huuñ maiñ mere raheñ kyuuñ kaam band

vāste jis shah ke 'ġhālib' gumbad-e-be-dar khulā

bazm-e-shahanshah mein ashaar ka daftar khula

rakhiyo ya rab ye dar-e-ganjina-e-gauhar khula

shab hui phir anjum-e-raKHshanda ka manzar khula

is takalluf se ki goya but-kade ka dar khula

garche hun diwana par kyun dost ka khaun fareb

aastin mein dashna pinhan hath mein nashtar khula

go na samjhun us ki baaten go na paun us ka bhed

par ye kya kam hai ki mujh se wo pari-paikar khula

hai KHayal-e-husn mein husn-e-amal ka sa KHayal

KHuld ka ek dar hai meri gor ke andar khula

munh na khulne par hai wo aalam ki dekha hi nahin

zulf se baDh kar naqab us shoKH ke munh par khula

dar pe rahne ko kaha aur kah ke kaisa phir gaya

jitne arse mein mera lipTa hua bistar khula

kyun andheri hai shab-e-gham hai balaon ka nuzul

aaj udhar hi ko rahega dida-e-aKHtar khula

kya rahun ghurbat mein KHush jab ho hawadis ka ye haal

nama lata hai watan se nama-bar aksar khula

us ki ummat mein hun main mere rahen kyun kaam band

waste jis shah ke 'ghaalib' gumbad-e-be-dar khula
