kushada dast-e-karam jab wo be-niyaz kare

kushāda dast-e-karam jab vo be-niyāz kare

niyāz-mand na kyuuñ ājizī pe naaz kare

biThā ke arsh pe rakkhā hai tū ne ai vaa.iz

ḳhudā vo kyā hai jo bandoñ se ehtirāz kare

mirī nigāh meñ vo riñd hī nahīñ saaqī

jo hoshiyārī o mastī meñ imtiyāz kare

mudām gosh-ba-dil rah ye saaz hai aisā

jo ho shikasta to paidā navā-e-rāz kare

koī ye pūchhe ki vaa.iz kā kyā bigaḌtā hai

jo be-amal pe bhī rahmat vo be-niyāz kare

suḳhan meñ soz ilāhī kahāñ se aatā hai

ye chiiz vo hai ki patthar ko bhī gudāz kare

tam.īz-e-lāla-o-gul se hai nāla-e-bulbul

jahāñ meñ vā na koī chashm-e-imtiyāz kare

ġhurūr-e-zohd ne sikhlā diyā hai vaa.iz ko

ki bandagān-e-ḳhudā par zabāñ darāz kare

havā ho aisī ki hindostāñ se ai 'iqbāl'

uḌā ke mujh ko ġhubār-e-rah-e-hijāz kare

kushada dast-e-karam jab wo be-niyaz kare

niyaz-mand na kyun aajizi pe naz kare

biTha ke arsh pe rakkha hai tu ne ai waiz

KHuda wo kya hai jo bandon se ehtiraaz kare

meri nigah mein wo rind hi nahin saqi

jo hoshiyari o masti mein imtiyaz kare

mudam gosh-ba-dil rah ye saz hai aisa

jo ho shikasta to paida nawa-e-raaz kare

koi ye puchhe ki waiz ka kya bigaDta hai

jo be-amal pe bhi rahmat wo be-niyaz kare

suKHan mein soz ilahi kahan se aata hai

ye chiz wo hai ki patthar ko bhi gudaz kare

tamiz-e-lala-o-gul se hai nala-e-bulbul

jahan mein wa na koi chashm-e-imtiyaz kare

ghurur-e-zohd ne sikhla diya hai waiz ko

ki bandagan-e-KHuda par zaban daraaz kare

hawa ho aisi ki hindostan se ai 'iqbaal'

uDa ke mujh ko ghubar-e-rah-e-hijaz kare
