har sahar rangin-nawa har sham KHush-ahang hai

har sahar rangīñ-navā har shaam ḳhush-āhang hai

ye javānī hai ki firdaus-e-rabāb-o-chang hai

jaur-e-paiham se ta.ajjub ke agar dil tang hai

vo hañsī jo had se baḌh jaa.e payām-e-jang hai

ye ḳhabar bhī ai asīr-e-jalva-e-sad-rang hai

dil ke ā.īne ko aks-e-lāla-o-gul-rang hai

ahd ahd-e-nā-tavāñ har uzr uzr-e-lang hai

kyā yahī tahzīb-e-sham.a-e-mahfil-e-afrañg hai

tum nahīñ to ik dil-e-maġhmūm par kyā munhasir

har gul-e-firdaus tasvīr-e-shikasta-rang hai

vo agar sho.ala-zan-e-dil hoñ to husn-e-iltifāt

dil agar shikva-kun-e-soz-e-darūñ ho nang hai

kyā harīf-e-sohbat-e-begāna ho tab.a-e-latīf

sīna-e-shabnam pe barg-e-sabza-e-tar sang hai

vo shikast-e-dil jo ho marhūn-e-zarb-e-zikr-e-dost

jazb-o-mastī ko sarosh-e-sāz-e-ḳhush-āhang hai

lauh-e-hastī par nahīñ ik shai bhī marfū'-ul-qalam

nuqta-e-sahv is jagah nuqta nahīñ farhang hai

ḳhatra-e-rahzan se baḌh kar ho jahāñ ehsān-e-ḳhizr

ik qadam is jāda-e-ulfat meñ sau farsang hai

kaash vo phir hoñ rahīn-e-kāvish-e-qat'a-o-burīd

go qabā-e-zindagī rangīñ hai lekin tang hai

ḳhanda-e-gul ho rahīn-e-girya-e-shabnam jahāñ

vo jahān-e-rang-o-bū bhī 'faiz' ik nairang hai

har sahar rangin-nawa har sham KHush-ahang hai

ye jawani hai ki firdaus-e-rabab-o-chang hai

jaur-e-paiham se tajjub ke agar dil tang hai

wo hansi jo had se baDh jae payam-e-jang hai

ye KHabar bhi ai asir-e-jalwa-e-sad-rang hai

dil ke aaine ko aks-e-lala-o-gul-rang hai

ahd ahd-e-na-tawan har uzr uzr-e-lang hai

kya yahi tahzib-e-shama-e-mahfil-e-afrang hai

tum nahin to ek dil-e-maghmum par kya munhasir

har gul-e-firdaus taswir-e-shikasta-rang hai

wo agar shoala-zan-e-dil hon to husn-e-iltifat

dil agar shikwa-kun-e-soz-e-darun ho nang hai

kya harif-e-sohbat-e-begana ho taba-e-latif

sina-e-shabnam pe barg-e-sabza-e-tar sang hai

wo shikast-e-dil jo ho marhun-e-zarb-e-zikr-e-dost

jazb-o-masti ko sarosh-e-saz-e-KHush-ahang hai

lauh-e-hasti par nahin ek shai bhi marfu'-ul-qalam

nuqta-e-sahw is jagah nuqta nahin farhang hai

KHatra-e-rahzan se baDh kar ho jahan ehsan-e-KHizr

ek qadam is jada-e-ulfat mein sau farsang hai

kash wo phir hon rahin-e-kawish-e-qat'a-o-burid

go qaba-e-zindagi rangin hai lekin tang hai

KHanda-e-gul ho rahin-e-girya-e-shabnam jahan

wo jahan-e-rang-o-bu bhi 'faiz' ek nairang hai
