daulat mili jahan ki nam-o-nishan mile
daulat milī jahān kī nām-o-nishāñ mile
sab kuchh milā hameñ na magar mehrbāñ mile
pahle bhī jaise dekh chuke hoñ unheñ kahīñ
anjān vādiyoñ meñ kuchh aise nishāñ mile
baḌhtā gayā maiñ manzil-e-mahbūb kī taraf
haa.il agarche raah meñ sañg-e-garāñ mile
ronā paḌā nasīb ke hāthoñ hazār baar
ik baar muskurā ke jo tum mehrbāñ mile
ham ko ḳhushī milī bhī to bas aarzī milī
lekin jo ġham mile vo ġham-e-jāvedāñ mile
baaqī rahegī hashr tak un ke karam kī yaad
mujh ko rah-e-hayāt meñ jo mehrbāñ mile
phir kyuuñ kare talāsh koī aur āstāñ
vo ḳhush-nasīb jis ko tirā āstāñ mile
ahl-e-sitam kī dil-shikanī kā sabab huā
dil kā ye hausla ki ġham be-karāñ mile
saaqī kī ik nigāh se kaayā palaT ga.ī
zāhid jo mai-kade meñ mile naujavāñ mile
dair-o-haram ke log bhī darmāñ na kar sake
vo bhī asīr-e-kashmakash-e-īn-o-āñ mile
nazreñ talāsh kartī rahīñ jin ko umr-bhar
'darshan' ko vo sukūn ke lamhe kahāñ mile
daulat mili jahan ki nam-o-nishan mile
sab kuchh mila hamein na magar mehrban mile
pahle bhi jaise dekh chuke hon unhen kahin
anjaan wadiyon mein kuchh aise nishan mile
baDhta gaya main manzil-e-mahbub ki taraf
hail agarche rah mein sang-e-garan mile
rona paDa nasib ke hathon hazar bar
ek bar muskura ke jo tum mehrban mile
hum ko KHushi mili bhi to bas aarzi mili
lekin jo gham mile wo gham-e-jawedan mile
baqi rahegi hashr tak un ke karam ki yaad
mujh ko rah-e-hayat mein jo mehrban mile
phir kyun kare talash koi aur aastan
wo KHush-nasib jis ko tera aastan mile
ahl-e-sitam ki dil-shikani ka sabab hua
dil ka ye hausla ki gham be-karan mile
saqi ki ek nigah se kaya palaT gai
zahid jo mai-kade mein mile naujawan mile
dair-o-haram ke log bhi darman na kar sake
wo bhi asir-e-kashmakash-e-in-o-an mile
nazren talash karti rahin jin ko umr-bhar
'darshan' ko wo sukun ke lamhe kahan mile
