jab juda peDon se kaT kar Dali Dali ho gai

jab judā peḌoñ se kaT kar Daalī Daalī ho ga.ī

ik tere jañgal kī mājid god ḳhālī ho ga.ī

koī mausam ho ba-har-sūrat havā chaltī rahī

baḌh gayā itnā dhuāñ har shakl kaalī ho ga.ī

mere chehre par likhī thiiñ surḳhiyāñ aḳhbār kī

jo bhī sūrat sāmne aa.ī savālī ho ga.ī

haiñ vahī alfāz lekin vo ma.ānī hī nahīñ

baat sulh-o-āshtī kī aaj gaalī ho ga.ī

terī tasvīroñ pe bhī apnā nahīñ hai iḳhtiyār

fāsla itnā baḌhā sūrat ḳhayālī ho ga.ī

ḳhuuñ kā ḳhatt-e-istavā 'mājid' ta.assub meñ ghirā

pyaar kī bād-e-sabā bād-e-shumālī ho ga.ī

jab juda peDon se kaT kar Dali Dali ho gai

ek tere jangal ki majid god KHali ho gai

koi mausam ho ba-har-surat hawa chalti rahi

baDh gaya itna dhuan har shakl kali ho gai

mere chehre par likhi thin surKHiyan aKHbar ki

jo bhi surat samne aai sawali ho gai

hain wahi alfaz lekin wo maani hi nahin

baat sulh-o-ashti ki aaj gali ho gai

teri taswiron pe bhi apna nahin hai iKHtiyar

fasla itna baDha surat KHayali ho gai

KHun ka KHatt-e-istawa 'majid' tassub mein ghira

pyar ki baad-e-saba baad-e-shumali ho gai
