mera sina hai mashriq aaftab-e-dagh-e-hijran ka

mirā siina hai mashriq āftāb-e-dāġh-e-hijrāñ kā

tulū-e-sub.h-e-mahshar chaak hai mere garebāñ kā

azal se dushmanī tā.ūs o maar aapas meñ rakhte haiñ

dil-e-pur-dāġh ko kyūñkar hai ishq us zulf-e-pechāñ kā

kisī ḳhurshīd-rū ko jazb-e-dil ne aaj khīñchā hai

ki nūr-e-sub.h-e-sādiq hai ġhubār apne bayābāñ kā

chamaknā barq kā lāzim paḌā hai abr-e-bārāñ meñ

tasavvur chāhiye rone meñ us ke rū-e-ḳhandāñ kā

diyā mere janāze ko jo kāñdhā us parī-rū ne

gumāñ hai taḳhta-e-tābūt par taḳht-e-sulaimāñ kā

kisī se dil na is vahshat-sarā meñ maiñ ne aTkāyā

na uljhā ḳhaar se dāman kabhī mere bayābāñ kā

tah-e-shamshīr-e-qātil kis qadar bashshāsh thā 'nāsiḳh'

ki aalam har dahān-e-zaḳhm par hai rū-e-ḳhandāñ kā

mera sina hai mashriq aaftab-e-dagh-e-hijran ka

tulu-e-subh-e-mahshar chaak hai mere gareban ka

azal se dushmani taus o mar aapas mein rakhte hain

dil-e-pur-dagh ko kyunkar hai ishq us zulf-e-pechan ka

kisi KHurshid-ru ko jazb-e-dil ne aaj khincha hai

ki nur-e-subh-e-sadiq hai ghubar apne bayaban ka

chamakna barq ka lazim paDa hai abr-e-baran mein

tasawwur chahiye rone mein us ke ru-e-KHandan ka

diya mere janaze ko jo kandha us pari-ru ne

guman hai taKHta-e-tabut par taKHt-e-sulaiman ka

kisi se dil na is wahshat-sara mein main ne aTkaya

na uljha KHar se daman kabhi mere bayaban ka

tah-e-shamshir-e-qatil kis qadar bashshash tha 'nasiKH'

ki aalam har dahan-e-zaKHm par hai ru-e-KHandan ka
