jo jo shuur-e-zehn pe aata chala gaya

jo jo shu.ūr-e-zehn pe aatā chalā gayā

dil kulfatoñ ke daaġh miTātā chalā gayā

lā kar bahār-e-nau ke gul-e-nudrat-e-ḳhayal

sahrā ko maiñ chaman sā banātā chalā gayā

allāh kā ye fazl hai mujh pe ki bahr-e-ilm

kuuze se mere dil meñ samātā chalā gayā

alfāz ke guhar se ġhazal kī zamīñ ko maiñ

jaise falak-nazhād banātā chalā gayā

tār-e-nafas pe chheḌ ke ik naġhma-e-hayāt

maiñ āgahī ke saaz pe gaatā chalā gayā

ulfat kī raah kar ke zamāne pe āshkār

'ahsan' maiñ ḳhār-e-rāh haTātā chalā gayā

jo jo shuur-e-zehn pe aata chala gaya

dil kulfaton ke dagh miTata chala gaya

la kar bahaar-e-nau ke gul-e-nudrat-e-KHayal

sahra ko main chaman sa banata chala gaya

allah ka ye fazl hai mujh pe ki bahr-e-ilm

kuze se mere dil mein samata chala gaya

alfaz ke guhar se ghazal ki zamin ko main

jaise falak-nazhad banata chala gaya

tar-e-nafas pe chheD ke ek naghma-e-hayat

main aagahi ke saz pe gata chala gaya

ulfat ki rah kar ke zamane pe aashkar

'ahsan' main KHar-e-rah haTata chala gaya
