jaanan pe ji nisar hua kya baja hua

jānāñ pe jī nisār huā kyā bajā huā

us raah meñ ġhubār huā kyā bajā huā

muddat se rāz-e-ishq mire pe ayaañ na thā

ye bhed āshkār huā kyā bajā huā

taaze khile haiñ daaġh ke gul dil ke baaġh meñ

phir mausam-e-bahār huā kyā bajā huā

dil tujh parī kī aag meñ sīmāb kī misāl

āḳhir kuuñ be-qarār huā kyā bajā huā

kishvar meñ dil ke thā amal-e-sūbādār-e-aish

ab ġham kā iḳhtiyār huā kyā bajā huā

āhū-e-dil ki vahshi-e-sahrā-e-aql thā

tujh zulf kā shikār huā kyā bajā huā

vo āftāb aaj mire qatl par 'sirāj'

shab-dez par savār huā kyā bajā huā

jaanan pe ji nisar hua kya baja hua

us rah mein ghubar hua kya baja hua

muddat se raaz-e-ishq mere pe ayan na tha

ye bhed aashkar hua kya baja hua

taze khile hain dagh ke gul dil ke bagh mein

phir mausam-e-bahaar hua kya baja hua

dil tujh pari ki aag mein simab ki misal

aaKHir kun be-qarar hua kya baja hua

kishwar mein dil ke tha amal-e-subaadar-e-aish

ab gham ka iKHtiyar hua kya baja hua

aahu-e-dil ki wahshi-e-sahra-e-aql tha

tujh zulf ka shikar hua kya baja hua

wo aaftab aaj mere qatl par 'siraj'

shab-dez par sawar hua kya baja hua
