maut mangun to rahe aarzu-e-KHwab mujhe
maut māñgūñ to rahe ārzū-e-ḳhvāb mujhe
Dūbne jā.ūñ to dariyā mile pāyāb mujhe
merī iizā ke liye murde meñ jaan aatī hai
kāTne dauḌtī hai māhī-e-be-āb mujhe
dahan-e-gurg se jiitā jo bachūñ sahrā meñ
zab.h karne ke liye mol le qassāb mujhe
huuñ tasavvur meñ safā-e-badan-e-yār ke ġharq
halqa-e-nāf huā halqa-e-girdāb mujhe
mardum-e-dīda-e-qurbānī huuñ maiñ dīvāna
aa.e darvāza khule bin na kabhī ḳhvāb mujhe
ai falak rahne de uryāñ hī pas-az-marg bhī tū
soñptā kyā hai kafan-duzd kā asbāb mujhe
nahīñ rakhte haiñ amīrī kī havas mard-e-faqīr
sher kī khaal hī hai qāqum-o-sanjāb mujhe
josh se ashkoñ ke phir jā.egā sar par paanī
khīñch le jā.egā dariyā meñ ye sailāb mujhe
dair o ka.aba meñ un āñkhoñ se nahīñ halqa-e-dar
koī abrū se dikhātā nahīñ mehrāb mujhe
furqat-e-yār meñ kartī hai qayāmat barpā
roz-e-mahshar se nahīñ kam shab-e-mahtāb mujhe
maraz-e-ishq se bach jā.ūñ jo tum dilvā do
sadqa apne lab-e-jāñ-baḳhsh kā unnāb mujhe
chain lene na diyā dard-e-judā.ī ne kabhī
kab maiñ soyā ki jagāyā nahīñ bad-ḳhvāb mujhe
nahīñ bholā hai junūñ meñ vo havās uḌ jaanā
yaad hai barhamī-e-sohbat-e-ahbāb mujhe
naam ko mere bhī ahbāb meñ apne likkhe
zarra samjhā rahe vo mahr-e-jahāñ-tāb mujhe
dil ġhanī chāhiye go huuñ maiñ faqīr ai 'ātish'
sher kī khaal hī hai qāqum-o-sanjāb mujhe
maut mangun to rahe aarzu-e-KHwab mujhe
Dubne jaun to dariya mile payab mujhe
meri iza ke liye murde mein jaan aati hai
kaTne dauDti hai mahi-e-be-ab mujhe
dahan-e-gurg se jita jo bachun sahra mein
zabh karne ke liye mol le qassab mujhe
hun tasawwur mein safa-e-badan-e-yar ke gharq
halqa-e-naf hua halqa-e-girdab mujhe
mardum-e-dida-e-qurbani hun main diwana
aae darwaza khule bin na kabhi KHwab mujhe
ai falak rahne de uryan hi pas-az-marg bhi tu
sonpta kya hai kafan-duzd ka asbab mujhe
nahin rakhte hain amiri ki hawas mard-e-faqir
sher ki khaal hi hai qaqum-o-sanjab mujhe
josh se ashkon ke phir jaega sar par pani
khinch le jaega dariya mein ye sailab mujhe
dair o kaba mein un aankhon se nahin halqa-e-dar
koi abru se dikhata nahin mehrab mujhe
furqat-e-yar mein karti hai qayamat barpa
roz-e-mahshar se nahin kam shab-e-mahtab mujhe
maraz-e-ishq se bach jaun jo tum dilwa do
sadqa apne lab-e-jaan-baKHsh ka unnab mujhe
chain lene na diya dard-e-judai ne kabhi
kab main soya ki jagaya nahin bad-KHwab mujhe
nahin bhola hai junun mein wo hawas uD jaana
yaad hai barhami-e-sohbat-e-ahbab mujhe
nam ko mere bhi ahbab mein apne likkhe
zarra samjha rahe wo mahr-e-jahan-tab mujhe
dil ghani chahiye go hun main faqir ai 'atish'
sher ki khaal hi hai qaqum-o-sanjab mujhe
