KHandan-e-qais ka main to sada se pir hun

ḳhāndān-e-qais kā maiñ to sadā se piir huuñ

silsila-jumbān-e-shor-e-ḳhāna-e-zanjīr huuñ

ḳhāksārī ke abhī to darpai tadbīr huuñ

kushta ho kar ḳhaak jab hoñ tab kabhī iksīr huuñ

zo.af ne go kar diyā hai juuñ kamāñ gosha-nashīñ

ab bhī chalne ko jo pūchho to sarāsar tiir huuñ

rishta-e-ulfat ne bāñdhe haiñ par-e-parvāz aah

dām-e-hairat meñ ba-rañg-e-bulbul-e-tasvīr huuñ

tujh se ye uqda khulegā ai nasīm-e-sub.h-dam

ġhunche kī mānind is gulshan meñ kyuuñ dil-gīr huuñ

muntazir chashm-e-rikāb ai said-e-afgan hai hanūz

bosa-e-fitrāk kī ḳhvāhish hai vo naḳhchīr huuñ

faqr kī daulat ke aage saltanat kyā maal hai

bistare par apne ai rūba-mizājo sher huuñ

sach hai apne dam se qaa.em hai ye buniyād-e-jahāñ

raunaq-afzā-e-chaman ārā.ish-e-ta.amīr huuñ

jaisī chāhe vaisī le mujh se qasam qātil na Dar

hashr ko bhī gar kabhī terā maiñ dāman-gīr huuñ

ahl-e-jauhar hī mire mazmūñ ko samjhe hai 'nasīr'

maiñ bhī iqlīm-e-suḳhan meñ sāhib-e-shamshīr huuñ

KHandan-e-qais ka main to sada se pir hun

silsila-jumban-e-shor-e-KHana-e-zanjir hun

KHaksari ke abhi to darpai tadbir hun

kushta ho kar KHak jab hon tab kabhi iksir hun

zoaf ne go kar diya hai jun kaman gosha-nashin

ab bhi chalne ko jo puchho to sarasar tir hun

rishta-e-ulfat ne bandhe hain par-e-parwaz aah

dam-e-hairat mein ba-rang-e-bulbul-e-taswir hun

tujh se ye uqda khulega ai nasim-e-subh-dam

ghunche ki manind is gulshan mein kyun dil-gir hun

muntazir chashm-e-rikab ai said-e-afgan hai hanuz

bosa-e-fitrak ki KHwahish hai wo naKHchir hun

faqr ki daulat ke aage saltanat kya mal hai

bistare par apne ai ruba-mizajo sher hun

sach hai apne dam se qaem hai ye buniyaad-e-jahan

raunaq-afza-e-chaman aaraish-e-tamir hun

jaisi chahe waisi le mujh se qasam qatil na Dar

hashr ko bhi gar kabhi tera main daman-gir hun

ahl-e-jauhar hi mere mazmun ko samjhe hai 'nasir'

main bhi iqlim-e-suKHan mein sahib-e-shamshir hun
