ishq betāb-e-jāñ-gudāzī hai

husn mushtāq-e-dil-navāzī hai

ashk ḳhūnīñ suuñ jo kiyā hai vazū

maz.hab-e-ishq meñ namāzī hai

jo huā rāz-e-ishq suuñ āgāh

vo zamāne kā faḳhr-e-rāzī hai

pāk-bāzāñ suuñ yuuñ huā mafhūm

ishq mazmūn-e-pāk-bāzī hai

jā ke pahuñchī hai hadd-e-zulmat kuuñ

bas-ki tujh zulf meñ darāzī hai

tajrabe suuñ huā mujhe zāhir

naaz mafhūm be-niyāzī hai

ai 'valī' aish-e-zāhirī kā sabab

jalva-e-shāhid-e-majāzī hai

ishq betab-e-jaan-gudazi hai

ashk KHunin sun jo kiya hai wazu

mazhab-e-ishq mein namazi hai

jo hua raaz-e-ishq sun aagah

wo zamane ka faKHr-e-raazi hai

pak-bazan sun yun hua mafhum

ishq mazmun-e-pak-bazi hai

ja ke pahunchi hai hadd-e-zulmat kun

bas-ki tujh zulf mein daraazi hai

tajrabe sun hua mujhe zahir

naz mafhum be-niyazi hai

ai 'wali' aish-e-zahiri ka sabab

jalwa-e-shahid-e-majazi hai
