daftar-e-lauh o qalam ya dar-e-gham khulta hai
daftar-e-lauh o qalam yā dar-e-ġham khultā hai
hoñT khulte haiñ to ik bāb-e-sitam khultā hai
harf-e-inkār hai kyuuñ nār-e-jahannam kā halīf
sirf iqrār pe kyuuñ bāb-e-iram khultā hai
aabrū ho na jo pyārī to ye duniyā hai saḳhī
haath phailāo to ye tarz-e-karam khultā hai
māñgne vāloñ ko kyā izzat o rusvā.ī se
dene vāloñ kī amīrī kā bharam khultā hai
band āñkheñ rahīñ melā hai luTeroñ kā lagā
ashk luT jaate haiñ jab dīda-e-nam khultā hai
jaan dene meñ jo lazzat hai bachāne meñ kahāñ
dil kisī se jo bañdhe uqda-e-ġham khultā hai
saath rahtā hai sadā mahfil o tanhā.ī meñ
dil-e-ram-ḳhurdā magar ham se bhī kam khultā hai
dekho pastī se to har ek bulandī hai raaz
jāda-e-koh faqat zer-e-qadam khultā hai
qarz adā karnā hai jaañ kā to chalo maqtal meñ
khiñch ga.ī baag bajā tabl-o-alam khultā hai
daftar-e-lauh o qalam ya dar-e-gham khulta hai
honT khulte hain to ek bab-e-sitam khulta hai
harf-e-inkar hai kyun nar-e-jahannam ka halif
sirf iqrar pe kyun bab-e-iram khulta hai
aabru ho na jo pyari to ye duniya hai saKHi
hath phailao to ye tarz-e-karam khulta hai
mangne walon ko kya izzat o ruswai se
dene walon ki amiri ka bharam khulta hai
band aankhen rahin mela hai luTeron ka laga
ashk luT jate hain jab dida-e-nam khulta hai
jaan dene mein jo lazzat hai bachane mein kahan
dil kisi se jo bandhe uqda-e-gham khulta hai
sath rahta hai sada mahfil o tanhai mein
dil-e-ram-KHurda magar hum se bhi kam khulta hai
dekho pasti se to har ek bulandi hai raaz
jada-e-koh faqat zer-e-qadam khulta hai
qarz ada karna hai jaan ka to chalo maqtal mein
khinch gai bag baja tabl-o-alam khulta hai
