gul-o-saman nahin gulchin to Khaar rahne de

gul-o-saman nahīñ gulchīñ to ḳhaar rahne de

chaman meñ kuchh to nishān-e-bahār rahne de

tujhe junūñ kī qasam ai dil-e-sukūñ-dushman

tamām umr mujhe be-qarār rahne de

kahīñ na hasrat-e-ḳhvābīda phir se jaag uThe

navāzish-e-nigah-e-fitna-kār rahne de

fareb-e-va.ada-e-fardā bahut ġhanīmat hai

mizāj-e-dost agar ustuvār rahne de

ye hādsāt-e-mohabbat haiñ aaj bhī dilkash

agar sukūñ se ġham-e-rozgār rahne de

nafas nafas hai mohabbat meñ dā.imī 'jauhar'

magar jo zindagī-e-musta.ār rahne de

gul-o-saman nahin gulchin to KHar rahne de

chaman mein kuchh to nishan-e-bahaar rahne de

tujhe junun ki qasam ai dil-e-sukun-dushman

tamam umr mujhe be-qarar rahne de

kahin na hasrat-e-KHwabida phir se jag uThe

nawazish-e-nigah-e-fitna-kar rahne de

fareb-e-wada-e-farda bahut ghanimat hai

mizaj-e-dost agar ustuwar rahne de

ye hadsat-e-mohabbat hain aaj bhi dilkash

agar sukun se gham-e-rozgar rahne de

nafas nafas hai mohabbat mein daimi 'jauhar'

magar jo zindagi-e-mustaar rahne de
