KHirad ki fitna-samani jo pahle thi wo ab bhi hai
ḳhirad kī fitna-sāmānī jo pahle thī vo ab bhī hai
mire dil kī pareshānī jo pahle thī vo ab bhī hai
uḌā diiñ dhajjiyāñ qānūn-e-tāzīrāt kī ham ne
jarā.em kī farāvānī jo pahle thī vo ab bhī hai
ġharīboñ ke gharoñ meñ ek bhī raunaq nahīñ baaqī
bahār-e-qasr-e-sultānī jo pahle thī vo ab bhī hai
nazar aatī haiñ har jānib na.ī ābādiyāñ lekin
diloñ kī ḳhāna-vīrānī jo pahle thī vo ab bhī hai
agarche ahl-e-zar ta.amīr ke va.ade to karte haiñ
magar taḳhrīb-sāmān.ī jo pahle thī vo ab bhī hai
tabassum hai laboñ par yā tabassum kā janāza hai
diloñ kī marsiya-ḳhvānī jo pahle thī vo ab bhī hai
ġharīboñ ke lahū se qumqume raushan haiñ mahloñ ke
havas kī zulm-sāmānī jo pahle thī vo ab bhī hai
kahīñ sūba-parastī hai kahīñ firqa-parastī hai
vahī tafrīq-e-insānī jo pahle thī vo ab bhī hai
ġhulāmī aaj bhī hai aur āqā.ī kī sūrat meñ
adā-e-jabr-e-sultānī jo pahle thī vo ab bhī hai
hai 'rūmī' ḳhush-navā be-shak ho koī bhī yahāñ unvāñ
adā shān-e-ġhazal-ḳhvānī jo pahle thī vo ab bhī hai
KHirad ki fitna-samani jo pahle thi wo ab bhi hai
mere dil ki pareshani jo pahle thi wo ab bhi hai
uDa din dhajjiyan qanun-e-taziraat ki hum ne
jaraem ki farawani jo pahle thi wo ab bhi hai
gharibon ke gharon mein ek bhi raunaq nahin baqi
bahaar-e-qasr-e-sultani jo pahle thi wo ab bhi hai
nazar aati hain har jaanib nai aabaadiyan lekin
dilon ki KHana-virani jo pahle thi wo ab bhi hai
agarche ahl-e-zar tamir ke wade to karte hain
magar taKHrib-samani jo pahle thi wo ab bhi hai
tabassum hai labon par ya tabassum ka janaza hai
dilon ki marsiya-KHwani jo pahle thi wo ab bhi hai
gharibon ke lahu se qumqume raushan hain mahlon ke
hawas ki zulm-samani jo pahle thi wo ab bhi hai
kahin suba-parasti hai kahin firqa-parasti hai
wahi tafriq-e-insani jo pahle thi wo ab bhi hai
ghulami aaj bhi hai aur aaqai ki surat mein
ada-e-jabr-e-sultani jo pahle thi wo ab bhi hai
hai 'rumi' KHush-nawa be-shak ho koi bhi yahan unwan
ada shan-e-ghazal-KHwani jo pahle thi wo ab bhi hai
