ruKH o zulf par jaan khoya kiya

ruḳh o zulf par jaan khoyā kiyā

añdhere ujāle meñ royā kiyā

hamesha likhe vasf-e-dandān-e-yār

qalam apnā motī piroyā kiyā

kahūñ kyā huī 'umr kyūñ-kar basar

maiñ jaagā kiyā baḳht soyā kiyā

rahī sabz be-fikr kisht-e-suḳhan

na jotā kiyā maiñ na boyā kiyā

brahman ko bātoñ kī hasrat rahī

ḳhudā ne butoñ ko na goyā kiyā

mazā ġham ke khāne kā jis ko paḌā

vo ashkoñ se haath apne dhoyā kiyā

zanaḳhdāñ se 'ātish' mohabbat rahī

kuñ.eñ meñ mujhe dil Duboyā kiyā

ruKH o zulf par jaan khoya kiya

andhere ujale mein roya kiya

hamesha likhe wasf-e-dandan-e-yar

qalam apna moti piroya kiya

kahun kya hui 'umr kyun-kar basar

main jaga kiya baKHt soya kiya

rahi sabz be-fikr kisht-e-suKHan

na jota kiya main na boya kiya

brahman ko baaton ki hasrat rahi

KHuda ne buton ko na goya kiya

maza gham ke khane ka jis ko paDa

wo ashkon se hath apne dhoya kiya

zanaKHdan se 'atish' mohabbat rahi

kunen mein mujhe dil Duboya kiya
