jala ke dil ko rakha subh-o-sham roz-o-shab

jalā ke dil ko rakhā sub.h-o-shām roz-o-shab

mirā kamāl kamāl-e-charāġh hai ki nahīñ

rahā hai musht-e-turāb-e-azal mirā mamba.a

mirī ye ḳhāk-e-kamāl-e-ayāġh hai ki nahīñ

mujhe banāyā sarāpā savāl ab to batā

mirī talāsh kamāl-e-surāġh hai ki nahīñ

ġham-e-vajūd kā mātam karūñ to kaise jiyūñ

magar ḳhudā tire dāman pe daaġh hai ki nahīñ

jo kho gayā tirā 'āhan' sarāb-e-ḳhvāhish meñ

bhaTak na jaa.eñ kahīñ be-dimāġh hai ki nahīñ

jala ke dil ko rakha subh-o-sham roz-o-shab

mera kamal kamal-e-charagh hai ki nahin

raha hai musht-e-turab-e-azal mera mamba

meri ye KHak-e-kamal-e-ayagh hai ki nahin

mujhe banaya sarapa sawal ab to bata

meri talash kamal-e-suragh hai ki nahin

gham-e-wajud ka matam karun to kaise jiyun

magar KHuda tere daman pe dagh hai ki nahin

jo kho gaya tera 'ahan' sarab-e-KHwahish mein

bhaTak na jaen kahin be-dimagh hai ki nahin
