fasl-e-bahaar jaane ye kya gul katar gai

fasl-e-bahār jaane ye kyā gul katar ga.ī

sāġhar guloñ kā ḳhūn-e-anādil se bhar ga.ī

gulzār-e-hast-e-būd meñ aarif kī āgahī

aurāq-e-gul pe sūrat-e-shabnam bikhar ga.ī

hāsil huzūr-e-husn kī sar-mastiyāñ kahāñ

tahzīb-e-asr lauT ke jaane kidhar ga.ī

dānishvaro vo ramz samajhne kī chiiz thī

nazar-e-vafā-shi.ār ḳhatā jo bhī kar ga.ī

ḳhush-baḳht ġharq bahr-e-takalluf meñ ho ga.e

TuuTe hue nasīb kī kashtī guzar ga.ī

gulshan ke dīda-var hī tah-e-dām aa ga.e

jaadū jagā ke ḳhuub nasīm-e-sahar ga.ī

shā.istagī ne ḳhair kā putlā banā diyā

barq-e-fanā bhī husn-e-adā pe Thahar ga.ī

almās-o-la.al bik ga.e mutlaq ḳhazaf ke mol

ab ābrū-e-hikmat-e-sāhab-hunar ga.ī

saaqī ko ḳhaas masnad-e-gul par jo aa.ī niiñd

sar-mastī-e-sharāb-e-ġham-e-mo'atabar ga.ī

itnī thī ik nafas ke tabassum ke dāstāñ

nāzuk kalī thī phuul banī aur bikhar ga.ī

yuuñ to suḳhan kī sūrat-e-ma.anī thī dil-pazīr

ḳhūn-e-jigar se aur haqīqat nikhar ga.ī

tai ho sake ḳhirad se na hastī ke marhale

nākāmiyoñ kī aah mirī kaam kar ga.ī

'bebāk' be-kasī ke hai juz kaun dast-gīr!

mauj-e-nafas hayāt kī jaane kidhar ga.ī

fasl-e-bahaar jaane ye kya gul katar gai

saghar gulon ka KHun-e-anadil se bhar gai

gulzar-e-hast-e-bud mein aarif ki aagahi

auraq-e-gul pe surat-e-shabnam bikhar gai

hasil huzur-e-husn ki sar-mastiyan kahan

tahzib-e-asr lauT ke jaane kidhar gai

danishwaro wo ramz samajhne ki chiz thi

nazar-e-wafa-shiar KHata jo bhi kar gai

KHush-baKHt gharq bahr-e-takalluf mein ho gae

TuTe hue nasib ki kashti guzar gai

gulshan ke dida-war hi tah-e-dam aa gae

jadu jaga ke KHub nasim-e-sahar gai

shaistagi ne KHair ka putla bana diya

barq-e-fana bhi husn-e-ada pe Thahar gai

almas-o-lal bik gae mutlaq KHazaf ke mol

ab aabru-e-hikmat-e-sahab-hunar gai

saqi ko KHas masnad-e-gul par jo aai nind

sar-masti-e-sharab-e-gham-e-mo'atabar gai

itni thi ek nafas ke tabassum ke dastan

nazuk kali thi phul bani aur bikhar gai

yun to suKHan ki surat-e-mani thi dil-pazir

KHun-e-jigar se aur haqiqat nikhar gai

tai ho sake KHirad se na hasti ke marhale

nakaamiyon ki aah meri kaam kar gai

'bebak' be-kasi ke hai juz kaun dast-gir!

mauj-e-nafas hayat ki jaane kidhar gai
