ishq se paida nawa-e-zindagi mein zer-o-bam

ishq se paidā navā-e-zindagī meñ zer-o-bam

ishq se miTTī kī tasvīroñ meñ soz-e-dam-ba-dam

aadmī ke reshe reshe meñ samā jaatā hai ishq

shāḳh-e-gul meñ jis tarah bād-e-sahar-gāhī kā nam

apne rāziq ko na pahchāne to muhtāj-e-mulūk

aur pahchāne to haiñ tere gadā daarā o jam

dil kī āzādī shahanshāhī shikam sāmān-e-maut

faisla terā tire hāthoñ meñ hai dil yā shikam

ai musalmāñ apne dil se pūchh mullā se na pūchh

ho gayā allāh ke bandoñ se kyuuñ ḳhālī haram

ishq se paida nawa-e-zindagi mein zer-o-bam

ishq se miTTi ki taswiron mein soz-e-dam-ba-dam

aadmi ke reshe reshe mein sama jata hai ishq

shaKH-e-gul mein jis tarah baad-e-sahar-gahi ka nam

apne raaziq ko na pahchane to muhtaj-e-muluk

aur pahchane to hain tere gada dara o jam

dil ki aazadi shahanshahi shikam saman-e-maut

faisla tera tere hathon mein hai dil ya shikam

ai musalman apne dil se puchh mulla se na puchh

ho gaya allah ke bandon se kyun KHali haram
