junun pe jabr-e-KHirad jab bhi hoshyar hua

junūñ pe jabr-e-ḳhirad jab bhī hoshyār huā

nazar ke saath nazāra bhī sharm-sār huā

ġham-e-jahāñ! bahut achchhā unheñ bhalā deñge

zah-e-nasīb agar dil pe iḳhtiyār huā

ye daur daur-e-pur-āshob hī sahī lekin

zamāna pahle bhī kab kis ko sāz-gār huā

milī haiñ nau-e-bashar se mujhe vo īzā.eñ

ki jab bhī ġhaur kyā ḳhud bhī sharmsār huā

kisī se talḳhi-e-hālāt kā gila hī nahīñ

ki jo huā vo ba-īmā-e-chashm-e-yār huā

ye zindagī kā ufuq bhī ajab ufuq hai 'zamīr'

ki har ḳhayāl sitāra banā ġhubār huā

junun pe jabr-e-KHirad jab bhi hoshyar hua

nazar ke sath nazara bhi sharm-sar hua

gham-e-jahan! bahut achchha unhen bhala denge

zah-e-nasib agar dil pe iKHtiyar hua

ye daur daur-e-pur-ashob hi sahi lekin

zamana pahle bhi kab kis ko saz-gar hua

mili hain nau-e-bashar se mujhe wo izaen

ki jab bhi ghaur kya KHud bhi sharmsar hua

kisi se talKHi-e-haalat ka gila hi nahin

ki jo hua wo ba-ima-e-chashm-e-yar hua

ye zindagi ka ufuq bhi ajab ufuq hai 'zamir'

ki har KHayal sitara bana ghubar hua
