na koi nam o nasab hai na goshwara mera
na koī naam o nasab hai na goshvāra mirā
bas apnī āb-o-havā hī pe hai guzāra mirā
mirī zamīñ pe tire āftāb raushan haiñ
tire falak pe chamaktā hai ik sitāra mirā
jo chāhtā hai vo tasḳhīr kar le duniyā ko
kisī bhī shai pe nahīñ hai yahāñ ijāra mirā
maiñ ham-kanār huā ek lahar se aur phir
kināre hī meñ kahīñ gum huā kināra mirā
bas ek lamhā-e-benām kī giraft meñ haiñ
na jaane kaisā ta.alluq hai ye tumhārā mirā
to phir jo nafā hai maiñ us meñ kyuuñ nahīñ shāmil
agar yahāñ kā ḳhasāra hai sab ḳhasāra mirā
jo dhyān tak nahīñ detā hai merī bātoñ par
samajh rahā hai vahī shaḳhs to ishāra mirā
kahīñ ḳhushī kī numā.ish meñ rakh diyā jā kar
kal us ne basta-e-ġham taaq se utārā mirā
vahī hai til vahī ruḳhsār haiñ vahī tū hai
magar nahīñ hai samarqand aur buḳhārā mirā
maiñ baad o bārāñ se ātish kashīd kartā huuñ
ki aab o ḳhaak kī tamsīl hai idāra mirā
ab aa gayā huuñ to sochā sadā lagātā chalūñ
kise ḳhabar yahāñ aanā na ho dobāra mirā
darūn-e-ḳhāna koī bhī nahīñ kisī kā 'salīm'
pe dekhne meñ to lagtā hai shahr saarā mirā
na koi nam o nasab hai na goshwara mera
bas apni aab-o-hawa hi pe hai guzara mera
meri zamin pe tere aaftab raushan hain
tere falak pe chamakta hai ek sitara mera
jo chahta hai wo tasKHir kar le duniya ko
kisi bhi shai pe nahin hai yahan ijara mera
main ham-kanar hua ek lahar se aur phir
kinare hi mein kahin gum hua kinara mera
bas ek lamha-e-benam ki giraft mein hain
na jaane kaisa talluq hai ye tumhaara mera
to phir jo nafa hai main us mein kyun nahin shamil
agar yahan ka KHasara hai sab KHasara mera
jo dhyan tak nahin deta hai meri baaton par
samajh raha hai wahi shaKHs to ishaara mera
kahin KHushi ki numaish mein rakh diya ja kar
kal us ne basta-e-gham taq se utara mera
wahi hai til wahi ruKHsar hain wahi tu hai
magar nahin hai samarqand aur buKHara mera
main baad o baran se aatish kashid karta hun
ki aab o KHak ki tamsil hai idara mera
ab aa gaya hun to socha sada lagata chalun
kise KHabar yahan aana na ho dobara mera
darun-e-KHana koi bhi nahin kisi ka 'salim'
pe dekhne mein to lagta hai shahr sara mera
