jo khili chaman mein nai kali to wo jashn-e-saut-o-sada hua

jo khilī chaman meñ na.ī kalī to vo jashn-e-saut-o-sadā huā

kahīñ bulbuleñ huiiñ naġhma-zan kahīñ raqs-e-bād-e-sabā huā

koī phuul ḳhushbū se chuur sā koī rañg halqa-e-nūr sā

koī husn ġhairat-e-hūr sā tire naam saarā likhā huā

vo bichhaḌ gayā to pata chalā ki thā saḳht kitnā ye hādisa

gayā nuur jaise charāġh kā ki badan se aks judā huā

jo savār rāh-e-ziyāñ ke the kahīñ naam ab ke na kar sake

na junūñ meñ surḳh huī zamīñ na sukūñ meñ dasht harā huā

mirī jañg mere hī saath thī ki harīf bhī thā halīf bhī

kabhī dostoñ meñ ghirā huā kabhī dushmanoñ se milā huā

vo havā chalī ki mire chaman hue raakh aur dhuveñ ke ban

ki hare shajar bhī sulag uThe ye bharī bahār meñ kyā huā

jo khili chaman mein nai kali to wo jashn-e-saut-o-sada hua

kahin bulbulen huin naghma-zan kahin raqs-e-baad-e-saba hua

koi phul KHushbu se chur sa koi rang halqa-e-nur sa

koi husn ghairat-e-hur sa tere nam sara likha hua

wo bichhaD gaya to pata chala ki tha saKHt kitna ye hadisa

gaya nur jaise charagh ka ki badan se aks juda hua

jo sawar rah-e-ziyan ke the kahin nam ab ke na kar sake

na junun mein surKH hui zamin na sukun mein dasht hara hua

meri jang mere hi sath thi ki harif bhi tha halif bhi

kabhi doston mein ghira hua kabhi dushmanon se mila hua

wo hawa chali ki mere chaman hue rakh aur dhuwen ke ban

ki hare shajar bhi sulag uThe ye bhari bahaar mein kya hua
