jo tabassumon se ho gul-fishan wahi lab hansi ko taras gae

jo tabassumoñ se ho gul-fishāñ vahī lab hañsī ko taras ga.e

hamīñ shahryār-e-hayāt the hamīñ zindagī ko taras ga.e

ye ajiib sub.h-e-bahār hai koī zindagī kī kiran nahīñ

hamīñ ḳhāliq-e-mah-o-mehr haiñ hamīñ raushnī ko taras ga.e

ye chaman hai kaisā chaman jahāñ tahī-dāmanī hī nasīb hai

ye bahār kaisī bahār hai ki kalī kalī ko taras ga.e

na karam na koī itaab hai koī is adā kā javāb hai

kabhī dostī ko taras ga.e kabhī dushmanī ko taras ga.e

vahī manziloñ se bhaTak ga.e na junūñ ke saath jo chal sake

jo fareb hosh meñ aa ga.e rah-e-āgahī ko taras ga.e

hai ajab nasīb bhī ishq kā na vafā milī na jafā milī

tire iltifāt kī kyā ḳhabar tirī be-ruḳhī ko taras ga.e

maiñ 'payām' kāfir-e-ishq huuñ mirī gumrahī bhī hai bandagī

ki fidā-e-ka.aba-o-dair bhī mirī kāfirī ko taras ga.e

jo tabassumon se ho gul-fishan wahi lab hansi ko taras gae

hamin shahryar-e-hayat the hamin zindagi ko taras gae

ye ajib subh-e-bahaar hai koi zindagi ki kiran nahin

hamin KHaliq-e-mah-o-mehr hain hamin raushni ko taras gae

ye chaman hai kaisa chaman jahan tahi-damani hi nasib hai

ye bahaar kaisi bahaar hai ki kali kali ko taras gae

na karam na koi itab hai koi is ada ka jawab hai

kabhi dosti ko taras gae kabhi dushmani ko taras gae

wahi manzilon se bhaTak gae na junun ke sath jo chal sake

jo fareb hosh mein aa gae rah-e-agahi ko taras gae

hai ajab nasib bhi ishq ka na wafa mili na jafa mili

tere iltifat ki kya KHabar teri be-ruKHi ko taras gae

main 'payam' kafir-e-ishq hun meri gumrahi bhi hai bandagi

ki fida-e-kaba-o-dair bhi meri kafiri ko taras gae
