dur kuchh ahl-e-junun ki be-qarari kijiye

duur kuchh ahl-e-junūñ kī be-qarārī kījiye

ho sake to un kī thoḌī ġham-gusārī kījiye

jin ke bistar se nahīñ jaatī koī silvaT kabhī

un kī āñkhoñ meñ vafā ke ḳhvāb jaarī kījiye

'ishq kī qismat yahī hai 'ishq kā mansab yahī

jāgiye shab-bhar yūñhī aḳhtar-shumārī kījiye

nochiye zaḳhm-e-jigar ko aañkh bhar kar roiye

aur kab tak hijr meñ yuuñ āh-o-zārī kījiye

bhejiye koī bulāvā koī chiTThī bhejiye

apne un pardesiyoñ se shahr-dārī kījiye

log haiñ tayyār hijrat ke liye is shahr se

phir koī taaza nayā farmān jaarī kījiye

phir koī taaza bapā hone ko hai ik mā'rka

nahr-e-furāt-e-karbalā ko phir se jaarī kījiye

kaam aa.egā na koī mushkiloñ meñ dekhnā

jis qadar bhī dostoñ se vaz'-dārī kījiye

tishna-e-takmīl Thahre baat na koī 'nabīl'

guftugū jitnī bhī hai dil meñ vo saarī kījiye

aa.egā kab saañs varna dūsrā tujh ko 'nabīl'

dil ke zaḳhmoñ kī na aise parda-dārī kījiye

dur kuchh ahl-e-junun ki be-qarari kijiye

ho sake to un ki thoDi gham-gusari kijiye

jin ke bistar se nahin jati koi silwaT kabhi

un ki aankhon mein wafa ke KHwab jari kijiye

'ishq ki qismat yahi hai 'ishq ka mansab yahi

jagiye shab-bhar yunhi aKHtar-shumari kijiye

nochiye zaKHm-e-jigar ko aankh bhar kar roiye

aur kab tak hijr mein yun aah-o-zari kijiye

bhejiye koi bulawa koi chiTThi bhejiye

apne un pardesiyon se shahr-dari kijiye

log hain tayyar hijrat ke liye is shahr se

phir koi taza naya farman jari kijiye

phir koi taza bapa hone ko hai ek ma'rka

nahr-e-furaat-e-karbala ko phir se jari kijiye

kaam aaega na koi mushkilon mein dekhna

jis qadar bhi doston se waz'-dari kijiye

tishna-e-takmil Thahre baat na koi 'nabil'

guftugu jitni bhi hai dil mein wo sari kijiye

aaega kab sans warna dusra tujh ko 'nabil'

dil ke zaKHmon ki na aise parda-dari kijiye
