nigah ki shoala-fazai ko kam hai did uski

nigah kī sho.ala-fazā.ī ko kam hai diid us kī

charāġh chāhtā hai lau zarā mazīd us kī

darūn-e-dil kisī zaḳhm-e-dahan-kushā kī tarah

bahut dinoñ se talab hai baḌī shadīd us kī

milā to hai koī bint-e-inab sā lab lekin

hamāre shahr meñ mamnua hai kashīd is kī

ab us kā haq hai bahisht-e-badan pe jā uThnā

nigah hui hai rah-e-dīd par shahīd us kī

maiñ sar-ba-ḳhāk huuñ taaki vo surḳh-rū ho jaa.e

bapā jo mātam-e-dil ho to phir ho iid us kī

nigah ki shoala-fazai ko kam hai did us ki

charagh chahta hai lau zara mazid us ki

darun-e-dil kisi zaKHm-e-dahan-kusha ki tarah

bahut dinon se talab hai baDi shadid us ki

mila to hai koi bint-e-inab sa lab lekin

hamare shahr mein mamnua hai kashid is ki

ab us ka haq hai bahisht-e-badan pe ja uThna

nigah hui hai rah-e-did par shahid us ki

main sar-ba-KHak hun taki wo surKH-ru ho jae

bapa jo matam-e-dil ho to phir ho id us ki
