dar-parda kis dawa se jibillat badal gai

dar-parda kis davā se jibillat badal ga.ī

bachche baḌe hue to zarūrat badal ga.ī

bāzār meñ galī meñ qadam phūñk kar rakho

ab har jagah kī sharh-e-sharāfat badal ga.ī

gumnām the to bātoñ meñ un kī ḳhulūs thā

shohrat milī to sūrat-e-hālat badal ga.ī

patthar jo pheñkte ho hamāre makān par

kyā shīshe kī tumhārī imārat badal ga.ī

barsoñ ke tajribe kā ḳhulāsa yahī to hai

añgḌā.ī lī zarā to hukūmat badal ga.ī

qātil pahuñchte kaifar-e-kirdār tak magar

saare gavāhoñ kī hī shahādat badal ga.ī

pahle to ḳhush-mizāj the 'anjum' batā.iye

uftād kyā paḌī ki vo aadat badal ga.ī

dar-parda kis dawa se jibillat badal gai

bachche baDe hue to zarurat badal gai

bazar mein gali mein qadam phunk kar rakho

ab har jagah ki sharh-e-sharafat badal gai

gumnam the to baaton mein un ki KHulus tha

shohrat mili to surat-e-haalat badal gai

patthar jo phenkte ho hamare makan par

kya shishe ki tumhaari imarat badal gai

barson ke tajribe ka KHulasa yahi to hai

angDai li zara to hukumat badal gai

qatil pahunchte kaifar-e-kirdar tak magar

sare gawahon ki hi shahadat badal gai

pahle to KHush-mizaj the 'anjum' bataiye

uftad kya paDi ki wo aadat badal gai
