husn ki god mein be-ruKHi so gai

husn kī god meñ be-ruḳhī so ga.ī

'ishq kī god meñ bandagī so ga.ī

mai-kade meñ na TuuTā kisī kā bharam

daur chaltā rahā tishnagī so ga.ī

maut ne apnā jaadū chalāyā hī thā

tīrgī jaag uThī raushnī so ga.ī

vaqt ke saaz par taan chheḌī hī thī

saaz bajtā rahā naġhmagī so ga.ī

kārvāñ to sar-e-rāh luTte rahe

rahbaroñ kī magar rahbarī so ga.ī

sham' jalne lagī ḳhaak uḌne lagī

maut kī sej par zindagī so ga.ī

chāñd baḌhtā gayā raat kaTtī ga.ī

ġham se āḳhir lipaT kar ḳhushī so ga.ī

ham takalluf ke maare rahe be-ḳhabar

tamkanat jaag uThī sādgī so ga.ī

husn ki god mein be-ruKHi so gai

'ishq ki god mein bandagi so gai

mai-kade mein na TuTa kisi ka bharam

daur chalta raha tishnagi so gai

maut ne apna jadu chalaya hi tha

tirgi jag uThi raushni so gai

waqt ke saz par tan chheDi hi thi

saz bajta raha naghmagi so gai

karwan to sar-e-rah luTte rahe

rahbaron ki magar rahbari so gai

sham' jalne lagi KHak uDne lagi

maut ki sej par zindagi so gai

chand baDhta gaya raat kaTti gai

gham se aaKHir lipaT kar KHushi so gai

hum takalluf ke mare rahe be-KHabar

tamkanat jag uThi sadgi so gai
