rang-e-zulm-e-dast-e-wahshat jab numayan ho gaya

rang-e-zulm-e-dast-e-vahshat jab numāyāñ ho gayā

manzar-e-qaus-e-quzah chāk-e-garebāñ ho gayā

auj-o-pastī dekh kar vahshat kī hairāñ ho gayā

jab garebāñ dāman aur dāman garebāñ ho gayā

ho gayā hai ab to be-āzār jiinā nā-guzīr

dard samjhā thā jise ham ne vo darmāñ ho gayā

pā-e-vahshat ko mire baḌhne nahīñ detā kabhī

ab to kotāhī meñ dāman bhī garebāñ ho gayā

hai tahayyur ke liye jab merī āñkhoñ kā vajūd

kyā ḳhatā kī dekh kar tum ko jo hairāñ ho gayā

ho gayā hai chīra-dastī-e-junūñ se chāk-chāk

ab garebāñ vāqa'ī merā garebāñ ho gayā

ho gayā hai 'qadr' sā zābit pareshāñ-hāl ab

muḳhtasar qissa ye ai zulf-e-pareshāñ ho gayā

rang-e-zulm-e-dast-e-wahshat jab numayan ho gaya

manzar-e-qaus-e-quzah chaak-e-gareban ho gaya

auj-o-pasti dekh kar wahshat ki hairan ho gaya

jab gareban daman aur daman gareban ho gaya

ho gaya hai ab to be-azar jina na-guzir

dard samjha tha jise hum ne wo darman ho gaya

pa-e-wahshat ko mere baDhne nahin deta kabhi

ab to kotahi mein daman bhi gareban ho gaya

hai tahayyur ke liye jab meri aankhon ka wajud

kya KHata ki dekh kar tum ko jo hairan ho gaya

ho gaya hai chira-dasti-e-junun se chaak-chaak

ab gareban waqa'i mera gareban ho gaya

ho gaya hai 'qadr' sa zabit pareshan-haal ab

muKHtasar qissa ye ai zulf-e-pareshan ho gaya
