gulshan gulshan shoala-e-gul ki zulf-e-saba ki baat chali

gulshan gulshan sho.ala-e-gul kī zulf-e-sabā kī baat chalī

harf-e-junūñ kī bañd-e-girāñ kī jurm-o-sazā kī baat chalī

zindāñ zindāñ shor-e-junūñ hai mausam-e-gul ke aane se

mahfil mahfil ab ke baras arbāb-e-vafā kī baat chalī

ahd-e-sitam hai dekheñ ham āshufta-saroñ par kyā guzre

shahr meñ us ke band-e-qabā kī rañg-e-hinā kī baat chalī

ek ho dīvāna ik ne sar teshe se phoḌ liyā

kaise kaise log the jin se rasm-e-vafā kī baat chalī

TuuT ga.iiñ naġhmoñ kī tanābeñ sher ke ḳheme raakh hue

bazm-e-suḳhan meñ jab bhī 'salīm' is sho.ala-navā kī baat chalī

gulshan gulshan shoala-e-gul ki zulf-e-saba ki baat chali

harf-e-junun ki band-e-giran ki jurm-o-saza ki baat chali

zindan zindan shor-e-junun hai mausam-e-gul ke aane se

mahfil mahfil ab ke baras arbab-e-wafa ki baat chali

ahd-e-sitam hai dekhen hum aashufta-saron par kya guzre

shahr mein us ke band-e-qaba ki rang-e-hina ki baat chali

ek ho diwana ek ne sar teshe se phoD liya

kaise kaise log the jin se rasm-e-wafa ki baat chali

TuT gain naghmon ki tanaben sher ke KHeme rakh hue

bazm-e-suKHan mein jab bhi 'salim' is shoala-nawa ki baat chali
