jawan tha dil na tha andesha-e-sud-o-ziyan pahle
javāñ thā dil na thā andesha-e-sūd-o-ziyāñ pahle
vo the kyā mehrbāñ saarā jahāñ thā mehrbāñ pahle
koī manzil ho himmat chāhiye sar ho hī jaatī hai
magar luTte haiñ raste meñ hazāroñ kārvāñ pahle
vo mīr-e-kārvāñ bhī ik na ik din ho ke rahte haiñ
jinhoñ ne muddatoñ chhānī hai ḳhāk-e-kārvāñ pahle
ḳhudī jaagī uThe parde ujāgar ho ga.iiñ rāheñ
nazar kotāh thī tārīk thā saarā jahāñ pahle
vahī barq-e-tajallī sham.a hai mere shabistāñ kī
na lā saktī thī jis kī taab shāḳh-e-āshiyāñ pahle
huuñ ab bhī pā-ba-gil tāham bahut parvāz kī maiñ ne
vo ab merī zamīñ hai thā jo merā āsmāñ pahle
nihāñ thiiñ dar-ba-dar kī Thokaroñ meñ azmateñ 'jāmī'
na thā is darja aa.alī terā andāz-e-bayāñ pahle
jawan tha dil na tha andesha-e-sud-o-ziyan pahle
wo the kya mehrban sara jahan tha mehrban pahle
koi manzil ho himmat chahiye sar ho hi jati hai
magar luTte hain raste mein hazaron karwan pahle
wo mir-e-karwan bhi ek na ek din ho ke rahte hain
jinhon ne muddaton chhani hai KHak-e-karwan pahle
KHudi jagi uThe parde ujagar ho gain rahen
nazar kotah thi tarik tha sara jahan pahle
wahi barq-e-tajalli shama hai mere shabistan ki
na la sakti thi jis ki tab shaKH-e-ashiyan pahle
hun ab bhi pa-ba-gil taham bahut parwaz ki main ne
wo ab meri zamin hai tha jo mera aasman pahle
nihan thin dar-ba-dar ki Thokaron mein azmaten 'jami'
na tha is darja aaali tera andaz-e-bayan pahle
