chand paband-e-salasil hue aazad ab ke

chand pāband-e-salāsil hue āzād ab ke

jaane dīvānoñ pe kyā aa.egī uftād ab ke

jin kī yak-jehtī-e-ehsās thī ā.īn-e-junūñ

haiñ vahī log to majmūa-e-azdād ab ke

yuuñ uḌāyā gayā arbāb-e-mohabbat kā mazāq

ho ga.e ham havas-e-nām meñ barbād ab ke

ham ne bedārī-e-tahrīk-e-masarrat ke liye

har rag-e-jāñ pe rakhā dashna-e-fariyād ab ke

in fazāoñ meñ bujhe saikḌoñ ḳhurshīd magar

ḳhair se chup haiñ shab-e-marg ke naqqād ab ke

aur to kuchh na rahā ahl-e-vafā ke bas meñ

nazr ko laa.e haiñ bhūlī huī ik yaad ab ke

der se soch meñ hai ishrat-e-parvez 'urūj'

jaane kis tarh uThe tesha-e-farhād ab ke

chand paband-e-salasil hue aazad ab ke

jaane diwanon pe kya aaegi uftad ab ke

jin ki yak-jehti-e-ehsas thi aain-e-junun

hain wahi log to majmua-e-azdad ab ke

yun uDaya gaya arbab-e-mohabbat ka mazaq

ho gae hum hawas-e-nam mein barbaad ab ke

hum ne bedari-e-tahrik-e-masarrat ke liye

har rag-e-jaan pe rakha dashna-e-fariyaad ab ke

in fazaon mein bujhe saikDon KHurshid magar

KHair se chup hain shab-e-marg ke naqqad ab ke

aur to kuchh na raha ahl-e-wafa ke bas mein

nazr ko lae hain bhuli hui ek yaad ab ke

der se soch mein hai ishrat-e-parwez 'uruj'

jaane kis tarh uThe tesha-e-farhad ab ke
