shiddat-e-karb se karah uTha

shiddat-e-karb se karāh uThā

jab uThā dard-e-be-panāh uThā

mere aage chalā na zor-e-tilism

mere pīchhe ġhubār-e-rāh uThā

be-sabab raat bhar charāg jale

maiñ dhuāñ ban ke ḳhvāh-maḳhvāh uThā

dil baġhāvat pe kab thā āmāda

sar thā jo pesh-e-bādshāh uThā

chhoḌ de aaj sharm kā dāman

ai parī-zād ab nigāh uThā

mujh se qaa.em thī bazm kī raunaq

maiñ uThā farsh-e-ḳhānqāh uThā

ai jahāñgīr apnā adl to dekh

koī bhar kar yahāñ se aah uThā

shiddat-e-karb se karah uTha

jab uTha dard-e-be-panah uTha

mere aage chala na zor-e-tilism

mere pichhe ghubar-e-rah uTha

be-sabab raat bhar charag jale

main dhuan ban ke KHwah-maKHwah uTha

dil baghawat pe kab tha aamada

sar tha jo pesh-e-baadshah uTha

chhoD de aaj sharm ka daman

ai pari-zad ab nigah uTha

mujh se qaem thi bazm ki raunaq

main uTha farsh-e-KHanqah uTha

ai jahangir apna adl to dekh

koi bhar kar yahan se aah uTha
