saf baatin der se hain muntazir

saaf bātin der se haiñ muntazir

sāqiyā ḳhuz mā-safā dā mā-kadar

phir hayāt-e-chand-roza kā ma.aal

maut par jab zindagī hai munhasir

rut badalte hī fazā meñ guuñj uThā

naġhma-e-yā-ayyohas-sāqī adir

aise vaadī meñ nahīñ kyā rahnumā

ḳhud jahāñ gum-karda manzil huuñ ḳhizar

mashvara rahmat se kar ai adl-e-haq

kyā sazā jo ho ḳhatā kā ḳhud muqir

kyuuñ hai asrār-e-do-ālam kī talāsh

parda-e-dil meñ haiñ tere musattir

kyuuñ mirī dīvāngī badnām hai

un kī āñkheñ ḳhud huiiñ jab mushtahar

al-hazar pīr-e-falak kī sar-kashī

dekhne meñ tū hai utnā munkasir

kho chukā āñkheñ magar ai barq-e-husn

dil rahegā aur rahegā muntazir

sun le faryād-e-'azīz' jāñ-ba-lab

rabb-e-innī mustaġhīso fal-faqra

saf baatin der se hain muntazir

saqiya KHuz ma-safa da ma-kadar

phir hayat-e-chand-roza ka maal

maut par jab zindagi hai munhasir

rut badalte hi faza mein gunj uTha

naghma-e-ya-ayyohas-saqi adir

aise wadi mein nahin kya rahnuma

KHud jahan gum-karda manzil hun KHizar

mashwara rahmat se kar ai adl-e-haq

kya saza jo ho KHata ka KHud muqir

kyun hai asrar-e-do-alam ki talash

parda-e-dil mein hain tere musattir

kyun meri diwangi badnam hai

un ki aankhen KHud huin jab mushtahar

al-hazar pir-e-falak ki sar-kashi

dekhne mein tu hai utna munkasir

kho chuka aankhen magar ai barq-e-husn

dil rahega aur rahega muntazir

sun le faryaad-e-'aziz' jaan-ba-lab

rabb-e-inni mustaghiso fal-faqra
