jism diwar hai diwar mein dar karna hai

jism dīvār hai dīvār meñ dar karnā hai

ruuh ik ġhaar hai is ġhaar meñ ghar karnā hai

ek hī qatra to hai ashk-e-nadāmat kā bahut

kaun se dasht-o-bayābān ko tar karnā hai

jalte rahnā bhī hai dīvār pe fānūs ke bin

be-zerah ma.arka-e-bād bhī sar karnā hai

ḳhaak ho jaane pe ai ḳhāk-basar kyuuñ ho ba-zid

kyā tumheñ dosh-e-havā par bhī safar karnā hai

ab in āñkhoñ meñ vo dariyā kahāñ vo chashme kahāñ

chand qatre haiñ jinheñ lāl-o-gohar karnā hai

fat.h-e-gulzār mubārak ho magar yaad rahe

abhī nā-dīda bayābān bhī sar karnā hai

kuchh to hai rañg sā ehsās ke parde meñ nihāñ

jis ko manzar kī tarah vaqf-e-nazar karnā hai

gul-e-nau-ḳhez ko tesha bhī banā de yā-rab

sañg-e-lab-basta ke siine meñ asar karnā hai

ek neze pe lagāne haiñ ka.ī meva-e-sar

ek Tahnī ko samar-dār shajar karnā hai

jism diwar hai diwar mein dar karna hai

ruh ek ghaar hai is ghaar mein ghar karna hai

ek hi qatra to hai ashk-e-nadamat ka bahut

kaun se dasht-o-bayaban ko tar karna hai

jalte rahna bhi hai diwar pe fanus ke bin

be-zerah marka-e-baad bhi sar karna hai

KHak ho jaane pe ai KHak-basar kyun ho ba-zid

kya tumhein dosh-e-hawa par bhi safar karna hai

ab in aankhon mein wo dariya kahan wo chashme kahan

chand qatre hain jinhen lal-o-gohar karna hai

fath-e-gulzar mubarak ho magar yaad rahe

abhi na-dida bayaban bhi sar karna hai

kuchh to hai rang sa ehsas ke parde mein nihan

jis ko manzar ki tarah waqf-e-nazar karna hai

gul-e-nau-KHez ko tesha bhi bana de ya-rab

sang-e-lab-basta ke sine mein asar karna hai

ek neze pe lagane hain kai mewa-e-sar

ek Tahni ko samar-dar shajar karna hai
