lipaTti hai bahut yaad-e-watan jab daman-e-dil se

lipaTtī hai bahut yād-e-vatan jab dāman-e-dil se

palaT kar ik salām-e-shauq kar letā huuñ manzil se

nazar aa.e jab āsār-e-judā.ī rañg-e-mahfil se

nigāh-e-'yās' begāna huī yārān-e-yak-dil se

ubharne ke nahīñ bahr-e-fanā meñ Dūbne vaale

dur-e-maqsūd hī ġham hai to phir kyā kaam sāhil se

tasavvur lāla-o-gul kā ḳhizāñ meñ bhī nahīñ miTtā

nigāh-e-shauq vābasta hai ab tak naqsh-e-bātil se

nahīñ ma.alūm kyā lazzat uThā.ī hai asīrī meñ

dil-e-vahshī phaḌak uThtā hai āvāz-e-salāsil se

kisī shai meñ na hogī bāda-e-irfāñ kī gunjā.ish

laḌā le sāġhar-e-jam ko bhī koī shīsha-e-dil se

tasavvur ne dikhāyā shāhid-e-maqsūd kā jalva

utar aa.ī hai lailā sar-zamīn-e-dil pe mahmil se

rahegī chaar dīvār-e-anāsir darmiyāñ kab tak

uThegā zalzala ik din isī baiThe hue dil se

kahāñ tak parda-e-fānūs se sar kī balā Taltī

azal se laag thī bād-e-fanā ko sham-e-mahfil se

yahīñ se sair kar lo 'yās' itnī duur kyuuñ jaao

adam ābād kar DāñDā milā hai kū-e-qātil se

lipaTti hai bahut yaad-e-watan jab daman-e-dil se

palaT kar ek salam-e-shauq kar leta hun manzil se

nazar aae jab aasar-e-judai rang-e-mahfil se

nigah-e-'yas' begana hui yaran-e-yak-dil se

ubharne ke nahin bahr-e-fana mein Dubne wale

dur-e-maqsud hi gham hai to phir kya kaam sahil se

tasawwur lala-o-gul ka KHizan mein bhi nahin miTta

nigah-e-shauq wabasta hai ab tak naqsh-e-baatil se

nahin malum kya lazzat uThai hai asiri mein

dil-e-wahshi phaDak uThta hai aawaz-e-salasil se

kisi shai mein na hogi baada-e-irfan ki gunjaish

laDa le saghar-e-jam ko bhi koi shisha-e-dil se

tasawwur ne dikhaya shahid-e-maqsud ka jalwa

utar aai hai laila sar-zamin-e-dil pe mahmil se

rahegi chaar diwar-e-anasir darmiyan kab tak

uThega zalzala ek din isi baiThe hue dil se

kahan tak parda-e-fanus se sar ki bala Talti

azal se lag thi baad-e-fana ko sham-e-mahfil se

yahin se sair kar lo 'yas' itni dur kyun jao

adam aabaad kar DanDa mila hai ku-e-qatil se
