mere muddaa-e-ulfat ka payam ban ke aai

mire mudda.ā-e-ulfat kā payām ban ke aa.ī

tirī zulf kī siyāhī mirī shaam ban ke aa.ī

huī kāshif-e-haqīqat ye zamīr-e-mai-kada kī

mirī be-ḳhudī jo durd-e-tah-e-jām ban ke aa.ī

tirī ik adā thī ye bhī gul-o-ḳhār ko jagāne

jo nasīm-e-sub.h-gāhī kā ḳhirām ban ke aa.ī

ye sabā kī be-ruḳhī thī sū-e-āshiyāñ jo guzrī

na salām le ke aa.ī na payām ban ke aa.ī

mire ġham-kade meñ phūTī jo shuā dāġh-e-dil se

vahī ik charāġh-e-tāq-e-sar-e-shām ban ke aa.ī

sar-e-tūr jis kī juuyā thī nigāh-e-chashm-e-mūsā

vahī ik jhalak faroġh-e-lab-e-bām ban ke aa.ī

ruḳh-o-zulf kī tamannā mire dil ko muzhda-bādā

mirī sub.h ban ke aa.ī mirī shaam ban ke aa.ī

hai bahut muhāl is kā jo 'ġhubār' mā-badal ho

mirī tīrgī-e-qismat mirī shaam ban ke aa.ī

mere muddaa-e-ulfat ka payam ban ke aai

teri zulf ki siyahi meri sham ban ke aai

hui kashif-e-haqiqat ye zamir-e-mai-kada ki

meri be-KHudi jo durd-e-tah-e-jam ban ke aai

teri ek ada thi ye bhi gul-o-KHar ko jagane

jo nasim-e-subh-gahi ka KHiram ban ke aai

ye saba ki be-ruKHi thi su-e-ashiyan jo guzri

na salam le ke aai na payam ban ke aai

mere gham-kade mein phuTi jo shua dagh-e-dil se

wahi ek charagh-e-taq-e-sar-e-sham ban ke aai

sar-e-tur jis ki juya thi nigah-e-chashm-e-musa

wahi ek jhalak farogh-e-lab-e-baam ban ke aai

ruKH-o-zulf ki tamanna mere dil ko muzhda-baada

meri subh ban ke aai meri sham ban ke aai

hai bahut muhaal is ka jo 'ghubar' ma-badal ho

meri tirgi-e-qismat meri sham ban ke aai
