mujh tak rasai pae kahan mehr-o-mahtab
mujh tak rasā.ī paa.e kahāñ mehr-o-māhtāb
har ek ko nahīñ hai mirā qurb dastyāb
pahuñchā.ī duur duur talak 'ilm-o-āgahī
apne ta.iiñ kiyā hai jahāñ-bhar ko faiz-yāb
garche rah-e-junūñ meñ hue bārhā sitam
phir bhī yaqīn hai hameñ ham hoñge kāmyāb
apne kisī bhī fe'l se bātoñ se soch se
hargiz kisī kā jiinā na kariye kabhī 'azāb
kaise bhalā ġhurūr-o-takabbur kare koī
madfūn ho ke honā hai ik din hameñ turāb
koshish yahī hai apnī ki 'ashraf' jahān meñ
dast-e-hunar se karte raheñ lafz bāryāb
mujh tak rasai pae kahan mehr-o-mahtab
har ek ko nahin hai mera qurb dastyab
pahunchai dur dur talak 'ilm-o-agahi
apne tain kiya hai jahan-bhar ko faiz-yab
garche rah-e-junun mein hue barha sitam
phir bhi yaqin hai hamein hum honge kaamyab
apne kisi bhi fe'l se baaton se soch se
hargiz kisi ka jina na kariye kabhi 'azab
kaise bhala ghurur-o-takabbur kare koi
madfun ho ke hona hai ek din hamein turab
koshish yahi hai apni ki 'ashraf' jahan mein
dast-e-hunar se karte rahen lafz baryab
