naghma-e-ishq sunata hun main is shan ke sath

naġhma-e-ishq sunātā huuñ maiñ is shaan ke saath

raqs kartā hai zamāna mire vijdān ke saath

hai mirā zauq-e-junūñ kufr-o-ḳhirad kī zad meñ

ai ḳhudā ab to uThā le mujhe īmān ke saath

dil banā dost to kyā kyā na sitam us ne kiye

ham bhī nādāñ the nibhāte rahe nādān ke saath

daaġh māthe pe chale shaiḳh-o-barahman le kar

aa.e the dair-o-haram tak baḌe armān ke saath

ġham-e-jānāñ ġham-e-hastī ġham-e-hālāt 'shakīl'

kyā kahūñ kitnī balā.eñ haiñ mirī jaan ke saath

naghma-e-ishq sunata hun main is shan ke sath

raqs karta hai zamana mere wijdan ke sath

hai mera zauq-e-junun kufr-o-KHirad ki zad mein

ai KHuda ab to uTha le mujhe iman ke sath

dil bana dost to kya kya na sitam us ne kiye

hum bhi nadan the nibhate rahe nadan ke sath

dagh mathe pe chale shaiKH-o-barahman le kar

aae the dair-o-haram tak baDe arman ke sath

gham-e-jaanan gham-e-hasti gham-e-haalat 'shakil'

kya kahun kitni balaen hain meri jaan ke sath
