shaiKH-e-haram us but ka parastar hua hai

shaiḳh-e-haram us but kā parastār huā hai

but-ḳhāna-nashīñ bāñdh ke zunnār huā hai

har harf pe do aañsū Tapak paḌte haiñ ai vaa.e

ḳhat yaar ko likhnā hameñ dushvār huā hai

kotah na samajh āh-e-zaīfān ko ye tiir

sau baar dil-e-arsh se bhī paar huā hai

ai said-fagan ġham se tire duurī ki merā

har zaḳhm-e-dil ik dīda-e-ḳhūñ-bār huā hai

hastī tirī parda hai uThā de ise ġhāfil

kyuuñ aisā hijāb-e-ruḳh-e-dildār huā hai

aage tire thī garm-e-suḳhan hone kī hasrat

so bharnā dam-e-sard bhī dushvār huā hai

kar qadr tū 'rāsiḳh' kī ki is tarah kā āzād

yuuñ daam meñ aa tere giraftār huā hai

shaiKH-e-haram us but ka parastar hua hai

but-KHana-nashin bandh ke zunnar hua hai

har harf pe do aansu Tapak paDte hain ai wae

KHat yar ko likhna hamein dushwar hua hai

kotah na samajh aah-e-zaifan ko ye tir

sau bar dil-e-arsh se bhi par hua hai

ai said-fagan gham se tere duri ki mera

har zaKHm-e-dil ek dida-e-KHun-bar hua hai

hasti teri parda hai uTha de ise ghafil

kyun aisa hijab-e-ruKH-e-dildar hua hai

aage tere thi garm-e-suKHan hone ki hasrat

so bharna dam-e-sard bhi dushwar hua hai

kar qadr tu 'rasiKH' ki ki is tarah ka aazad

yun dam mein aa tere giraftar hua hai
