KHandani qaul ka to pas rakh

ḳhāndānī qaul kā to paas rakh

raam hai to sāmne ban-bās rakh

aas ke gauhar bhī kuchh mil jā.eñge

yaas ke kuchh pattharoñ ko paas rakh

tū imārat ke mahal kā ḳhvāb chhoḌ

ḳhvāb meñ bas jhoñpaḌī kā baas rakh

mahz terī zaat tak mahdūd kyuuñ

mausamoñ ke kaif kā bhī paas rakh

dahr meñ maazī bhī thā terā na bhuul

aane vaale kal meñ bhī vishvās rakh

tujh ko apne ġham kā to ehsās ho

apne pahlū meñ dil-e-hassās rakh

daulat-e-iflās tujh ko mil ga.ī

daulat-e-kaunain kī ab aas rakh

mubtadī ko lauh se hai vāsta

tū to hai ahl-e-qalam qirtās rakh

bostāñ sab ko lage terā vajūd

apne tan meñ is liye bū-bās rakh

ye zamāñ hai tez-rau ghoḌā nahīñ

haath meñ apne na us kī raas rakh

sāhib-e-maqdūr hai maanā 'figār'

ye tujhe kis ne kahā thā daas rakh

KHandani qaul ka to pas rakh

ram hai to samne ban-bas rakh

aas ke gauhar bhi kuchh mil jaenge

yas ke kuchh pattharon ko pas rakh

tu imarat ke mahal ka KHwab chhoD

KHwab mein bas jhonpaDi ka bas rakh

mahz teri zat tak mahdud kyun

mausamon ke kaif ka bhi pas rakh

dahr mein mazi bhi tha tera na bhul

aane wale kal mein bhi wishwas rakh

tujh ko apne gham ka to ehsas ho

apne pahlu mein dil-e-hassas rakh

daulat-e-iflas tujh ko mil gai

daulat-e-kaunain ki ab aas rakh

mubtadi ko lauh se hai wasta

tu to hai ahl-e-qalam qirtas rakh

bostan sab ko lage tera wajud

apne tan mein is liye bu-bas rakh

ye zaman hai tez-rau ghoDa nahin

hath mein apne na us ki ras rakh

sahib-e-maqdur hai mana 'figar'

ye tujhe kis ne kaha tha das rakh
