khule hain mashriq-o-maghrib ki god mein gulzar
khule haiñ mashriq-o-maġhrib kī god meñ gulzār
magar ḳhizāñ ko mayassar nahīñ yaqīn-e-bahār
ḳhabar nahīñ hai bamoñ ke banāne vāloñ ko
tamīz ho to mah-o-mehr-o-kahkashāñ haiñ shikār
usī se teġh-e-nigah āb-dār hotī hai
tujhe batā.ūñ baḌī shai hai jur.at-e-inkār
kiye haiñ shauq ne paidā hazār vīrāne
ik aarzū ne basā.e haiñ laakh shahr-e-dayār
nashāt-e-sub.h-e-bahārāñ tujhe nasīb nahīñ
tire nigah meñ hai biitī huī shaboñ kā ḳhumār
faroḳht hotī hai insāniyat sī jins-e-girāñ
jahāñ ko phūñk na degī ye garmī-e-bāzār
yahī hai zīnat-o-ārā.ish urūs-e-suḳhan
magar fareb bhī detī hai shoḳhī-e-guftār
khule hain mashriq-o-maghrib ki god mein gulzar
magar KHizan ko mayassar nahin yaqin-e-bahaar
KHabar nahin hai bamon ke banane walon ko
tamiz ho to mah-o-mehr-o-kahkashan hain shikar
usi se tegh-e-nigah aab-dar hoti hai
tujhe bataun baDi shai hai jurat-e-inkar
kiye hain shauq ne paida hazar virane
ek aarzu ne basae hain lakh shahr-e-dayar
nashat-e-subh-e-bahaaran tujhe nasib nahin
tere nigah mein hai biti hui shabon ka KHumar
faroKHt hoti hai insaniyat si jins-e-giran
jahan ko phunk na degi ye garmi-e-bazar
yahi hai zinat-o-araish urus-e-suKHan
magar fareb bhi deti hai shoKHi-e-guftar
