kabhi asar na mere harf-e-muddaa mein raha
kabhī asar na mire harf-e-mudda.ā meñ rahā
na iḳhtiyār koī dast-e-nā-rasā meñ rahā
nasīb-e-duḳhtar-e-havvā jafā-o-jaur-o-sitam
shumār husn-o-nazākat meñ aur vafā meñ rahā
amīr-e-shahr ki thā zo.am-e-eqtidār meñ gum
ġharīb-e-shahr sadā jabr-e-nāravā meñ rahā
utar gayā rag-o-pai meñ vo zahr kī mānind
misāl-e-shahd jo ik shaḳhs ibtidā meñ rahā
maiñ ho sakī na kabhī apnī zaat tak mahdūd
har ek phuul chaman kā mirī duā meñ rahā
maiñ vo marīz huuñ jis ke liye na koī asar
kisī ke harf-e-tasallī meñ aur duā meñ rahā
vo mujh ko dekh ke kartā rahā hai an-dekhā
ajiib tarz-e-taġhāful bhī e'tinā meñ rahā
kabhi asar na mere harf-e-muddaa mein raha
na iKHtiyar koi dast-e-na-rasa mein raha
nasib-e-duKHtar-e-hawwa jafa-o-jaur-o-sitam
shumar husn-o-nazakat mein aur wafa mein raha
amir-e-shahr ki tha zoam-e-eqtidar mein gum
gharib-e-shahr sada jabr-e-narawa mein raha
utar gaya rag-o-pai mein wo zahr ki manind
misal-e-shahd jo ek shaKHs ibtida mein raha
main ho saki na kabhi apni zat tak mahdud
har ek phul chaman ka meri dua mein raha
main wo mariz hun jis ke liye na koi asar
kisi ke harf-e-tasalli mein aur dua mein raha
wo mujh ko dekh ke karta raha hai an-dekha
ajib tarz-e-taghaful bhi e'tina mein raha
