jale hain dil na charaghon ne raushni ki hai
jale haiñ dil na charāġhoñ ne raushnī kī hai
vo shab-parastoñ ne mahfil meñ tīrgī kī hai
hadīs-e-zulm-o-sitam hai hanūz nā-gufta
hanūz mohr zabānoñ pe ḳhāmushī kī hai
us ek jaam ne saaqī kī jo atā Thahrā
sukūñ diyā hai na kuchh dard meñ kamī kī hai
hameñ ye naaz na kyuuñ ho ki nai-navāz haiñ ham
hamāre hoñToñ ne ījād naġhmagī kī hai
chaman meñ sirf hamīñ rāzdāñ haiñ kāñToñ ke
guloñ ke saath basar ham ne zindagī kī hai
firāq-e-yār ne baḳhshī hai vasl kī lazzat
ḳhayāl-e-yār ne zulmat meñ raushnī kī hai
haiñ jis kī diid se mahrūm aaj tak 'ḳhāvar'
usī kī ham ne tasavvur meñ bandagī kī hai
jale hain dil na charaghon ne raushni ki hai
wo shab-paraston ne mahfil mein tirgi ki hai
hadis-e-zulm-o-sitam hai hanuz na-gufta
hanuz mohr zabanon pe KHamushi ki hai
us ek jam ne saqi ki jo ata Thahra
sukun diya hai na kuchh dard mein kami ki hai
hamein ye naz na kyun ho ki nai-nawaz hain hum
hamare honTon ne ijad naghmagi ki hai
chaman mein sirf hamin raazdan hain kanTon ke
gulon ke sath basar hum ne zindagi ki hai
firaq-e-yar ne baKHshi hai wasl ki lazzat
KHayal-e-yar ne zulmat mein raushni ki hai
hain jis ki did se mahrum aaj tak 'KHawar'
usi ki hum ne tasawwur mein bandagi ki hai
