har lafz hai nawishta-e-diwar ki tarah

har lafz hai navishta-e-dīvār kī tarah

sach boltā hai vo mire ash.ār kī tarah

maañ hai aziim nuur ke mīnār kī tarah

ġhussa tū kar rahī hai magar pyaar kī tarah

gar sochiye muhājir-o-ansār kī tarah

jazba nahīñ hai jazba-e-īsār kī tarah

duniyā se pesh aa.iye bezār kī tarah

pīchhe phirā karegī talabgār kī tarah

ḳhushbū-e-dostāñ to havā par savār hai

chalnā paḌegā vaqt kī raftār kī tarah

rishte hue mafād parastī meñ mubtalā

ghar ho gayā hai kūcha-e-bāzār kī tarah

kaasa hai is amiir kī qismat meñ ai 'ḳhalish'

jhuktā nahīñ jo shāḳh-e-samar-dār kī tarah

har lafz hai nawishta-e-diwar ki tarah

sach bolta hai wo mere ashaar ki tarah

man hai azim nur ke minar ki tarah

ghussa tu kar rahi hai magar pyar ki tarah

gar sochiye muhajir-o-ansar ki tarah

jazba nahin hai jazba-e-isar ki tarah

duniya se pesh aaiye bezar ki tarah

pichhe phira karegi talabgar ki tarah

KHushbu-e-dostan to hawa par sawar hai

chalna paDega waqt ki raftar ki tarah

rishte hue mafad parasti mein mubtala

ghar ho gaya hai kucha-e-bazar ki tarah

kasa hai is amir ki qismat mein ai 'KHalish'

jhukta nahin jo shaKH-e-samar-dar ki tarah
