sharar-e-jaan se guzar gardish-e-lahu mein aa

sharār-e-jāñ se guzar gardish-e-lahū meñ aa

ab ai nigār-e-tamannā mire subū meñ aa

mujhe pukār mirī bāz-gasht kī mānind

mire ḳhamīr se uTh merī guftugū meñ aa

tire liye to libās-e-ġhazal hai nā-kāfī

qarār-e-jāñ tū kisī aur rañg-o-bū meñ aa

maiñ tishna-lab huuñ sar-e-dasht-e-āgahī kab se

sabīl tū hai to sahrā-e-justujū meñ aa

tujhe to halqa-e-dānish-varāñ se kyā nisbat

tū 'āzmī' kisī tash.hīr-e-kū-ba-kū meñ aa

sharar-e-jaan se guzar gardish-e-lahu mein aa

ab ai nigar-e-tamanna mere subu mein aa

mujhe pukar meri baz-gasht ki manind

mere KHamir se uTh meri guftugu mein aa

tere liye to libas-e-ghazal hai na-kafi

qarar-e-jaan tu kisi aur rang-o-bu mein aa

main tishna-lab hun sar-e-dasht-e-agahi kab se

sabil tu hai to sahra-e-justuju mein aa

tujhe to halqa-e-danish-waran se kya nisbat

tu 'azmi' kisi tashhir-e-ku-ba-ku mein aa
