KHud-baKHud aalam-e-dil zer-o-zabar hota hai

ḳhud-baḳhud ālam-e-dil zer-o-zabar hotā hai

nīchī nazroñ meñ qayāmat kā asar hotā hai

diid kyā chiiz hai jalvoñ meñ nazar kho jaanā

varna jalva kahīñ pāband-e-nazar hotā hai

ahl-e-himmat ke qadam is se alag uThte haiñ

ruḳh zamāne kī havāoñ kā jidhar hotā hai

terī duniyā meñ kahīñ par bhī karūñ maiñ sajda

terā jalva to mire pesh-e-nazar hotā hai

shart hai dard meñ Duubā huā afsāna ho

dil to kyā chiiz hai patthar pe asar hotā hai

jab uThātā huuñ qadam rāh-e-adab meñ 'shārib'

mere hamrāh mirā zauq-e-nazar hotā hai

KHud-baKHud aalam-e-dil zer-o-zabar hota hai

nichi nazron mein qayamat ka asar hota hai

did kya chiz hai jalwon mein nazar kho jaana

warna jalwa kahin paband-e-nazar hota hai

ahl-e-himmat ke qadam is se alag uThte hain

ruKH zamane ki hawaon ka jidhar hota hai

teri duniya mein kahin par bhi karun main sajda

tera jalwa to mere pesh-e-nazar hota hai

shart hai dard mein Duba hua afsana ho

dil to kya chiz hai patthar pe asar hota hai

jab uThata hun qadam rah-e-adab mein 'shaarib'

mere hamrah mera zauq-e-nazar hota hai
