lahu mein lithDe hue parinde talash karte hain aashiyana

lahū meñ lithḌe hue parinde talāsh karte haiñ āshiyāna

vo shaḳhs chāhe to lauT aa.egā ḳhushbuoñ kā hasīñ zamāna

ġhamoñ kī chakkī meñ pis ke merī to saarī buniyād hil ga.ī hai

ukhaḌne vaalā hai rafta-rafta mirī tamanna kā shāmiyāna

azal se qismat meñ ham faqīroñ kī hijratoñ ke ġhubār aa.e

hamāre jaisoñ kā terī duniyā meñ thā nahīñ dā.imī Thikāna

hamārī hālat pe dasht vāloñ ne girya karte sajā.ī mahfil

hamārī vahshat pe dard nāche the karb likhte rahe fasāna

maiñ apne bachpan se sun rahā huuñ kalām baahū saḳhī kā 'jāmī'

faqīr baahū kī sab atā hai mirā suḳhan bhī hai ārifāna

lahu mein lithDe hue parinde talash karte hain aashiyana

wo shaKHs chahe to lauT aaega KHushbuon ka hasin zamana

ghamon ki chakki mein pis ke meri to sari buniyaad hil gai hai

ukhaDne wala hai rafta-rafta meri tamanna ka shamiyana

azal se qismat mein hum faqiron ki hijraton ke ghubar aae

hamare jaison ka teri duniya mein tha nahin daimi Thikana

hamari haalat pe dasht walon ne girya karte sajai mahfil

hamari wahshat pe dard nache the karb likhte rahe fasana

main apne bachpan se sun raha hun kalam bahu saKHi ka 'jami'

faqir bahu ki sab ata hai mera suKHan bhi hai aarifana
