naqsh-bar-ab nam hai sail-e-fana maqam
naqsh-bar-āb naam hai sail-e-fanā maqām
is ḳhānumāñ-ḳharāb kā kyā naam kyā maqām
har roz taaza manzil o har shab nayā maqām
mohlat nahīñ qayām kī duniyā hai kyā maqām
jā mil ga.ī jise tirī dīvār ke tale
hai us ko gor-e-tañg bhī ik dil-kushā maqām
Darte haiñ ham to naam bhī lete hue tirā
tū hī batā ki pūchhiye kyūñkar tirā maqām
insān kī sarisht meñ hai uzr-e-lañg-e-zo.af
sābit huā ki duur hai mujh se mirā maqām
andāza hī ġhalat thā magar imtiyāz kā
ya.anī mahall-e-ġhair hī thā aap kā maqām
khiltā nahīñ kabhī na kabhī saaf hī rahe
kis tarah ho subūt ki dil hai tirā maqām
vaa.iz munāza.at kā sabab mujh meñ tujh meñ kyā
masjid tirā mahal hai mirā mai-kada maqām
yaañ vaañ idhar udhar yuuñ hī gir-paḌ ke kī basar
misl-e-ġhubār-e-rāh rahā jā-ba-jā maqām
ai ahl-e-dair zikr-e-haram tum se yā kareñ
pūchho butoñ hī se kabhī ka.aba bhī thā maqām
kyā kyā bayāñ jahāñ ke kareñ amn-o-chain ko
us ke bhī dar pe apnā to muddat rahā maqām
kyā jāniye 'qalaq' ki irāda hai apnā kyā
matlab se kuchh safar na sar-e-mudda.ā maqām
naqsh-bar-ab nam hai sail-e-fana maqam
is KHanuman-KHarab ka kya nam kya maqam
har roz taza manzil o har shab naya maqam
mohlat nahin qayam ki duniya hai kya maqam
ja mil gai jise teri diwar ke tale
hai us ko gor-e-tang bhi ek dil-kusha maqam
Darte hain hum to nam bhi lete hue tera
tu hi bata ki puchhiye kyunkar tera maqam
insan ki sarisht mein hai uzr-e-lang-e-zoaf
sabit hua ki dur hai mujh se mera maqam
andaza hi ghalat tha magar imtiyaz ka
yani mahall-e-ghair hi tha aap ka maqam
khilta nahin kabhi na kabhi saf hi rahe
kis tarah ho subut ki dil hai tera maqam
waiz munazat ka sabab mujh mein tujh mein kya
masjid tera mahal hai mera mai-kada maqam
yan wan idhar udhar yun hi gir-paD ke ki basar
misl-e-ghubar-e-rah raha ja-ba-ja maqam
ai ahl-e-dair zikr-e-haram tum se ya karen
puchho buton hi se kabhi kaba bhi tha maqam
kya kya bayan jahan ke karen amn-o-chain ko
us ke bhi dar pe apna to muddat raha maqam
kya jaaniye 'qalaq' ki irada hai apna kya
matlab se kuchh safar na sar-e-muddaa maqam
