dil hai wabasta mera hasrat-e-nakaam ke sath

dil hai vābasta mirā hasrat-e-nākām ke saath

taaza ho jaate haiñ sab zaḳhm tire naam ke saath

us ne har halq-e-tamannā pe chalāyā ḳhanjar

yuuñ hai paikār mirī gardish-e-ayyām ke saath

dard-e-ulfat mirā kartā hai tarannum-rezī

kirneñ ro ro ke gale miltī haiñ jab shaam ke saath

sang ban jaatā agar maiñ bhī barā-e-ishrat

zindagī phir to guzartī baḌe ārām ke saath

har jihat se rahā duniyā meñ sarāsar nākām

jī rahā huuñ maiñ ḳhushī se isī ilzām ke saath

rāhī-e-zīst agar azm-e-safar hai pur-josh

phir to vābasta hai manzil tire har gaam ke saath

ye banā detā hai insāñ ko mukammal patthar

yuuñ rahī dahr meñ nafrat mujhe ārām ke saath

ātish-e-ġham ne tapā kar kiyā kundan mujh ko

isī baa.is to 'jalī' ishq hai ālām ke saath

dil hai wabasta mera hasrat-e-nakaam ke sath

taza ho jate hain sab zaKHm tere nam ke sath

us ne har halq-e-tamanna pe chalaya KHanjar

yun hai paikar meri gardish-e-ayyam ke sath

dard-e-ulfat mera karta hai tarannum-rezi

kirnen ro ro ke gale milti hain jab sham ke sath

sang ban jata agar main bhi bara-e-ishrat

zindagi phir to guzarti baDe aaram ke sath

har jihat se raha duniya mein sarasar nakaam

ji raha hun main KHushi se isi ilzam ke sath

rahi-e-zist agar azm-e-safar hai pur-josh

phir to wabasta hai manzil tere har gam ke sath

ye bana deta hai insan ko mukammal patthar

yun rahi dahr mein nafrat mujhe aaram ke sath

aatish-e-gham ne tapa kar kiya kundan mujh ko

isi bais to 'jali' ishq hai aalam ke sath
