rang-e-wahshat kam nahin zaKHm-e-tamasha kam nahin

rañg-e-vahshat kam nahīñ zaḳhm-e-tamāshā kam nahīñ

zinda rahne ke liye āshob-e-duniyā kam nahīñ

dekhnā chāheñ to sāhil par liye manzar bahut

Dūbnā chāheñ to koī mauj-e-dariyā kam nahīñ

lauT kar vāpas nahīñ aa.e parinde aaj bhī

hirs ke said-e-zabūñ ko bāl-e-unqā kam nahīñ

vaqt kī raftār ko naape hai aql-e-nā-rasā

zarra-e-na-chīz bhī hañgāma-ārā kam nahīñ

bāl-o-par ke āzmāne ko fazā.eñ haiñ bahut

āsmāñ kā dast-e-lā-mahdūd aisā kam nahīñ

zer-e-pā mujh ko ka.ī TuuTe hue ḳhanjar mile

shahr-e-nā-pursāñ meñ bhī mere shanāsā kam nahīñ

is jahān ḳhair-o-shar se bad-gumāñ kyuuñ ho koī

bāzū-e-qātil se 'nāmī' dast-e-īsā kam nahīñ

rang-e-wahshat kam nahin zaKHm-e-tamasha kam nahin

zinda rahne ke liye aashob-e-duniya kam nahin

dekhna chahen to sahil par liye manzar bahut

Dubna chahen to koi mauj-e-dariya kam nahin

lauT kar wapas nahin aae parinde aaj bhi

hirs ke said-e-zabun ko baal-e-unqa kam nahin

waqt ki raftar ko nape hai aql-e-na-rasa

zarra-e-na-chiz bhi hangama-ara kam nahin

baal-o-par ke aazmane ko fazaen hain bahut

aasman ka dast-e-la-mahdud aisa kam nahin

zer-e-pa mujh ko kai TuTe hue KHanjar mile

shahr-e-na-pursan mein bhi mere shanasa kam nahin

is jahan KHair-o-shar se bad-guman kyun ho koi

bazu-e-qatil se 'nami' dast-e-isa kam nahin
