shiddat-e-shauq asar-KHez hai jadu ki tarah

shiddat-e-shauq asar-ḳhez hai jaadū kī tarah

dil kī dhaḌkan kī bhī āvāz hai ghuñghrū kī tarah

maiñ vo dīvāna-e-hālāt huuñ sahrā sahrā

jo phirā kartā hai bhaTke hue aahū kī tarah

jaane kis rañg meñ aa.ī hai bahārāñ ab ke

phuul bhī zaḳhm sā shabnam bhī hai aañsū kī tarah

vo jo amvāj-e-havādis meñ haiñ palne vaale

un ko tūfāñ nazar aatā hai lab-e-jū kī tarah

gum-rah-e-shauq ko hamrāh dikhāne ke liye

zulmat-e-shab meñ chamakte rahe jugnū kī tarah

fikr-o-fan kī na.e gul-daste sajā kar 'vāhid'

aao bas jaa.eñ har ik zehn meñ ḳhushbū kī tarah

shiddat-e-shauq asar-KHez hai jadu ki tarah

dil ki dhaDkan ki bhi aawaz hai ghunghru ki tarah

main wo diwana-e-haalat hun sahra sahra

jo phira karta hai bhaTke hue aahu ki tarah

jaane kis rang mein aai hai bahaaran ab ke

phul bhi zaKHm sa shabnam bhi hai aansu ki tarah

wo jo amwaj-e-hawadis mein hain palne wale

un ko tufan nazar aata hai lab-e-ju ki tarah

gum-rah-e-shauq ko hamrah dikhane ke liye

zulmat-e-shab mein chamakte rahe jugnu ki tarah

fikr-o-fan ki nae gul-daste saja kar 'wahid'

aao bas jaen har ek zehn mein KHushbu ki tarah
