buland-o-past mein manzil hamein kahin na mili
buland-o-past meñ manzil hameñ kahīñ na milī
jo āsmān se nāzil hue zamīñ na milī
gila nahīñ ki tirā sañg-e-āstāñ na milā!
ye hai ki dīda-e-tar ko vo āstīñ na milī
kabhī jo shāna-e-uqda-kushā nasīb huā
to us kī zulf-e-girah-gīr o ambarīñ na milī
bajā ki jān-e-zuleḳhā the misr meñ yūsuf
magar jo baat thī kan.āñ meñ vo kahīñ na milī
mile jo arsh pe ḳhuld-e-barīñ to kyā hāsil?
ki is zamīñ pe hameñ jannat-e-zamīñ na milī
'ra.īs' daad ḳhudāvand-e-āfrīnash ko!
agar milī to ba-juz harf-e-āfrīñ na milī
buland-o-past mein manzil hamein kahin na mili
jo aasman se nazil hue zamin na mili
gila nahin ki tera sang-e-astan na mila!
ye hai ki dida-e-tar ko wo aastin na mili
kabhi jo shana-e-uqda-kusha nasib hua
to us ki zulf-e-girah-gir o ambarin na mili
baja ki jaan-e-zuleKHa the misr mein yusuf
magar jo baat thi kanan mein wo kahin na mili
mile jo arsh pe KHuld-e-barin to kya hasil?
ki is zamin pe hamein jannat-e-zamin na mili
'rais' dad KHudawand-e-afrinash ko!
agar mili to ba-juz harf-e-afrin na mili
