hai dil-e-sozan mein tur uski tajalli-gah ka

hai dil-e-sozāñ meñ tuur us kī tajallī-gāh kā

rū-e-ātishnāk har shola hai merī aah kā

vasl kyā ham ḳhāksāroñ ko ho is dil-ḳhvāh kā

ḳhaak meñ ālūda honā kab hai mumkin maah kā

nūr-afshāñ jab se hai dil meñ ḳhayāl us maah kā

tuur kā shola dhuāñ hai merī sham-e-āh kā

qāmat-e-mauzūñ nazar aa.e mujhe jā-e-alif

thā shurū-e-āshiqī din merī bismillāh kā

samjhe mai-kash dekh kar abrū tirī bālā-e-chashm

mai-kade se martaba aalā hai baitullāh kā

āmad-e-ḳhat meñ to hone de nigāhoñ kā guzar

dekh le bachne nahīñ paatā hai sabza raah kā

ḳhalq ne qur.ān dekhā jab huā māh-e-rajab

ham ne dekhā mus.haf-e-ruḳhsār apne maah kā

aate hī us tifl ke raushan siyah-ḳhāna huā

sham.a saañ jalva hai us ke qāmat-e-kotāh kā

yaar kā 'nāsiḳh' phaTā hai pairahan to aib kyā

hai katāñ ko chaak karnā kaam nūr-e-māh kā

hai dil-e-sozan mein tur us ki tajalli-gah ka

ru-e-atishnak har shola hai meri aah ka

wasl kya hum KHaksaron ko ho is dil-KHwah ka

KHak mein aaluda hona kab hai mumkin mah ka

nur-afshan jab se hai dil mein KHayal us mah ka

tur ka shola dhuan hai meri sham-e-ah ka

qamat-e-mauzun nazar aae mujhe ja-e-alif

tha shuru-e-ashiqi din meri bismillah ka

samjhe mai-kash dekh kar abru teri baala-e-chashm

mai-kade se martaba aala hai baitullah ka

aamad-e-KHat mein to hone de nigahon ka guzar

dekh le bachne nahin pata hai sabza rah ka

KHalq ne quran dekha jab hua mah-e-rajab

hum ne dekha mushaf-e-ruKHsar apne mah ka

aate hi us tifl ke raushan siyah-KHana hua

shama san jalwa hai us ke qamat-e-kotah ka

yar ka 'nasiKH' phaTa hai pairahan to aib kya

hai katan ko chaak karna kaam nur-e-mah ka
