hairāñ hai jabīñ aaj kidhar sajda ravā hai
sar par haiñ ḳhudāvand sar-e-arsh ḳhudā hai
kab tak ise sīñchoge tamannā-e-samar meñ
ye sabr kā paudā to na phūlā na phalā hai
miltā hai ḳhirāj us ko tirī nān-e-javīñ se
har bādshah-e-vaqt tire dar kā gadā hai
har ek uqūbat se hai talḳhī meñ savā-tar
vo rañg jo nā-karda gunāhoñ kī sazā hai
ehsān liye kitne masīhā-nafasoñ ke
kyā kījiye dil kā na jalā hai na bujhā hai
hairan hai jabin aaj kidhar sajda rawa hai
sar par hain KHudawand sar-e-arsh KHuda hai
kab tak ise sinchoge tamanna-e-samar mein
ye sabr ka pauda to na phula na phala hai
milta hai KHiraj us ko teri nan-e-jawin se
har baadshah-e-waqt tere dar ka gada hai
har ek uqubat se hai talKHi mein sawa-tar
wo rang jo na-karda gunahon ki saza hai
ehsan liye kitne masiha-nafason ke
kya kijiye dil ka na jala hai na bujha hai
