dayar-e-sham na burj-e-saher mein raushan hun

dayār-e-shām na burj-e-saher meñ raushan huuñ

maiñ ek 'umr se apne hī ghar meñ raushan huuñ

hujūm-e-shab-zadagāñ se farār ho kar aaj

jamāl-e-shola-e-shama-e-saher meñ raushan huuñ

maiñ muntazir huuñ to phir muntazar bhī aa.egā

charāġh-e-jāñ kī tarah rah-guzar meñ raushan huuñ

na jaane kab mirī hastī dhuāñ dhuāñ ho jaa.e

maiñ ek sā.at-e-nā-motabar meñ raushan huuñ

mire harīf-e-suḳhan kuchh tujhe ḳhabar bhī hai

tire sabab se hisār-e-hunar meñ raushan huuñ

nizām-e-gardish-e-daurāñ mirā muqaddar hai

maiñ ik sitāre kī sūrat safar meñ raushan huuñ

akelā jaan ke ḳhud ko na ho udaas ki maiñ

misāl-e-ashk tirī chashm-e-tar meñ raushan huuñ

mujhe talāsh na kar merī zaat meñ 'shahbāz'

bahut dinoñ se jahān-e-digar meñ raushan huuñ

dayar-e-sham na burj-e-saher mein raushan hun

main ek 'umr se apne hi ghar mein raushan hun

hujum-e-shab-zadagan se farar ho kar aaj

jamal-e-shola-e-shama-e-saher mein raushan hun

main muntazir hun to phir muntazar bhi aaega

charagh-e-jaan ki tarah rah-guzar mein raushan hun

na jaane kab meri hasti dhuan dhuan ho jae

main ek saat-e-na-motabar mein raushan hun

mere harif-e-suKHan kuchh tujhe KHabar bhi hai

tere sabab se hisar-e-hunar mein raushan hun

nizam-e-gardish-e-dauran mera muqaddar hai

main ek sitare ki surat safar mein raushan hun

akela jaan ke KHud ko na ho udas ki main

misal-e-ashk teri chashm-e-tar mein raushan hun

mujhe talash na kar meri zat mein 'shahbaz'

bahut dinon se jahan-e-digar mein raushan hun
