ek aalam ne jubba-sā.ī kī

ai buto tum ne bhī ḳhudā.ī kī

āshiqoñ ke lahū kī pyāsī haiñ

machhliyāñ us kaf-e-hinā.ī kī

zulf-e-pur-pech se jo dil uljhā

biich meñ raḳh paḌā safā.ī kī

murġh-e-be-bāl-o-par huuñ ai sayyād

aarzū hai kisī rihā.ī kī

ai junūñ dasht ko chaleñge ham

hai qasam is barahna-pā.ī kī

sar judā ham ne apnā kar Daalā

aa.ī jab guftugū judā.ī kī

phir gayā yaar ghar ke paas aa kar

baḳht-e-bargashta ne burā.ī kī

saikḌoñ jaame tujh pe phaTte haiñ

dhuum hai terī mīrzā.ī kī

tujh se to ham ko ai ḳham-e-abru

thī na ummīd kaj-adā.ī kī

koī qātil kī raah bhūlā thā

ai ajal tū ne rahnumā.ī kī

dil kahīñ aur ham ne aTkāyā

be-vafāoñ se bevafā.ī kī

na ga.ī zāhidoñ ke paas kabhī

duḳhtar-e-raz ne pārsā.ī kī

shahr meñ jā.egī mirī pā-posh

qadr vaañ kyā barahna-pā.ī kī

saaf hai aa.ina tan-e-pur-nūr

hai dalīl us pe ḳhud-numā.ī kī

kāsa-e-māh kyuuñ na ho pur-nūr

barsoñ us kūche kī gadā.ī kī

ka.aba-e-dil meñ bhī maqām kiyā

ai buto tum ne kyā rasā.ī kī

ḳhat ke aane pe bhī mukaddar hai

sūrat ab kaun sī safā.ī kī

bāl-o-par bhī ga.e bahār ke saath

ab to sūrat nahīñ rihā.ī kī

kis ke kūche kī raah bhūlā huuñ

ḳhizr ne bhī na rahnumā.ī kī

shaah kahlā.e har tarah se 'vazīr'

bādshāhī na kī gadā.ī kī

ek aalam ne jubba-sai ki

ai buto tum ne bhi KHudai ki

aashiqon ke lahu ki pyasi hain

machhliyan us kaf-e-hinai ki

zulf-e-pur-pech se jo dil uljha

bich mein raKH paDa safai ki

murgh-e-be-baal-o-par hun ai sayyaad

aarzu hai kisi rihai ki

ai junun dasht ko chalenge hum

hai qasam is barahna-pai ki

sar juda hum ne apna kar Dala

aai jab guftugu judai ki

phir gaya yar ghar ke pas aa kar

baKHt-e-bargashta ne burai ki

saikDon jame tujh pe phaTte hain

dhum hai teri mirzai ki

tujh se to hum ko ai KHam-e-abru

thi na ummid kaj-adai ki

koi qatil ki rah bhula tha

ai ajal tu ne rahnumai ki

dil kahin aur hum ne aTkaya

be-wafaon se bewafai ki

na gai zahidon ke pas kabhi

duKHtar-e-raz ne parsai ki

shahr mein jaegi meri pa-posh

qadr wan kya barahna-pai ki

saf hai aaina tan-e-pur-nur

hai dalil us pe KHud-numai ki

kasa-e-mah kyun na ho pur-nur

barson us kuche ki gadai ki

kaba-e-dil mein bhi maqam kiya

ai buto tum ne kya rasai ki

KHat ke aane pe bhi mukaddar hai

surat ab kaun si safai ki

baal-o-par bhi gae bahaar ke sath

ab to surat nahin rihai ki

kis ke kuche ki rah bhula hun

KHizr ne bhi na rahnumai ki

shah kahlae har tarah se 'wazir'

baadshahi na ki gadai ki
