hazar rang jalal-o-jamal ke dekhe
hazār rang jalāl-o-jamāl ke dekhe
vo mārke tire husn-e-ḳhayāl ke dekhe
samajh meñ aane lagā maqsad-e-hayāt-o-mamāt
vo zāviye tire hijr o visāl ke dekhe
har ek ġham hai tar-o-tāza pahle din kī tarah
amānateñ koī yuuñ bhī sañbhāl ke dekhe
fazā na bujhne lage is ḳhayāl se aksar
dil o nigāh ke raste ujaal ke dekhe
nagar bhī aur khañDar bhī nazar meñ rahte haiñ
ajiib daur urūj-o-zavāl ke dekhe
ki rashk aane lagā apnī be-kamālī par
kamāl aise bhī ahl-e-kamāl ke dekhe
na chashm ishāre se vāqif na lab kā harf se rabt
kuchh aise silsile bhī qīl-o-qāl ke dekhe
zamīñ zamīñ na rahī aur falak falak na rahā
kuchh aise marhale bhī arz-e-hāl ke dekhe
koī sadī bhī hai pal aur koī pal bhī sadī
kuchh aise fāsle bhī māh-o-sāl ke dekhe
huī zamīn kabhī raakh to kabhī ġharqāb
kuchh aise hausle bhī barshgāl ke dekhe
ajiib shart hai in manzaroñ kī ai 'rūhī'
ki apnī āñkheñ koī ḳhud nikāl ke dekhe
hazar rang jalal-o-jamal ke dekhe
wo marke tere husn-e-KHayal ke dekhe
samajh mein aane laga maqsad-e-hayat-o-mamat
wo zawiye tere hijr o visal ke dekhe
har ek gham hai tar-o-taza pahle din ki tarah
amanaten koi yun bhi sanbhaal ke dekhe
faza na bujhne lage is KHayal se aksar
dil o nigah ke raste ujal ke dekhe
nagar bhi aur khanDar bhi nazar mein rahte hain
ajib daur uruj-o-zawal ke dekhe
ki rashk aane laga apni be-kamali par
kamal aise bhi ahl-e-kamal ke dekhe
na chashm ishaare se waqif na lab ka harf se rabt
kuchh aise silsile bhi qil-o-qal ke dekhe
zamin zamin na rahi aur falak falak na raha
kuchh aise marhale bhi arz-e-haal ke dekhe
koi sadi bhi hai pal aur koi pal bhi sadi
kuchh aise fasle bhi mah-o-sal ke dekhe
hui zamin kabhi rakh to kabhi gharqab
kuchh aise hausle bhi barshgal ke dekhe
ajib shart hai in manzaron ki ai 'ruhi'
ki apni aankhen koi KHud nikal ke dekhe
