ek aKHgar-e-jamal farozan ba-shakl-e-dil

ik aḳhgar-e-jamāl farozāñ ba-shakl-e-dil

pheñkā idhar bhī husn-e-tajalli-nisār ne

afsurdagī bhī husn hai tābindagī bhī husn

ham ko ḳhizāñ ne tum ko sañvārā bahār ne

is dil ko shauq-e-dīd meñ taḌpā ke kar diyā

kyā ustuvār va.ada-e-nā-ustavār ne

jalve kī bhiik de ke vo ha.Tne lage the ḳhud

dāman pakaḌ liyā nigah-e-e'tibār ne

gesū ġhubār-e-rāh-e-tamannā se aT na jaa.eñ

sahrā meñ aap nikle haiñ ham ko pukārne

ek aKHgar-e-jamal farozan ba-shakl-e-dil

phenka idhar bhi husn-e-tajalli-nisar ne

afsurdagi bhi husn hai tabindagi bhi husn

hum ko KHizan ne tum ko sanwara bahaar ne

is dil ko shauq-e-did mein taDpa ke kar diya

kya ustuwar wada-e-na-ustawar ne

jalwe ki bhik de ke wo haTne lage the KHud

daman pakaD liya nigah-e-e'tibar ne

gesu ghubar-e-rah-e-tamanna se aT na jaen

sahra mein aap nikle hain hum ko pukarne
