partaw-e-nur bhi hai jauhar-e-tanwir bhi hai

partav-e-nūr bhī hai jauhar-e-tanvīr bhī hai

aa.ina bhī hai mirā dil tirī tasvīr bhī hai

zahr hai sab ke liye zahar-e-mohabbat lekin

agar aa jaa.e muāfiq to phir iksīr bhī hai

mujrim-e-ishq huuñ qātil kā maiñ ai dāvar-e-hashr

saaf to ye hai ki is meñ mirī taqsīr bhī hai

kis qadar sarfa nigāhoñ kā huā ġhairoñ meñ

kahiye ab aap ke tarkash meñ koī tiir bhī hai

kyuuñ kiyā kartā hai to sam.a-ḳharāshī 'nātiq'

sher kahtā hai to kuchh sher meñ tāsīr bhī hai

partaw-e-nur bhi hai jauhar-e-tanwir bhi hai

aaina bhi hai mera dil teri taswir bhi hai

zahr hai sab ke liye zahar-e-mohabbat lekin

agar aa jae muafiq to phir iksir bhi hai

mujrim-e-ishq hun qatil ka main ai dawar-e-hashr

saf to ye hai ki is mein meri taqsir bhi hai

kis qadar sarfa nigahon ka hua ghairon mein

kahiye ab aap ke tarkash mein koi tir bhi hai

kyun kiya karta hai to sama-KHarashi 'natiq'

sher kahta hai to kuchh sher mein tasir bhi hai
