shikwa gar kije to hota hai guman taqsir ka
shikva gar kiije to hotā hai gumāñ taqsīr kā
har jafā se baab khultā hai nayā ta.azīr kā
us se paiham guftugū kiije kabhī barham na ho
asl par bhārī hai pahlū aap kī tasvīr kā
dil ke dar pe haiñ ye donoñ rishta-e-ham-sā.egī
gesū-e-shab-gīr se hai fikr dāman-gīr kā
jaur se ghabrāne vaale ham nahīñ haiñ dekhiye
hausla kab tak javāñ rahtā hai charḳh-e-pīr kā
kis liye ḳhvāb-e-zuleḳhā tishna-e-ta.abīr hai
misr meñ shohra bahut yuuñ to huā ta.abīr kā
gholte haiñ kis liye vo chashma-e-haivāñ meñ zahr
kaam lete haiñ tabassum se vo kyuuñ tahqīr kā
kaash merī kah rahe haiñ sabza-o-dasht-o-daman
lāla-o-barg-o-saman aalam hai ye kashmīr kā
naaz se dekhā hai ḳhāliq ne miTāte bārhā
nāḳhun-e-tadbīr ko likkhā huā taqdīr kā
ḳhaak se kar ḳhāksārī se riyāzat se araq
aarzū kī aañch de nusḳha hai ye iksīr kā
hasratoñ se is tarah rah rah ke hotī hai ḳhalish
TuuT jaa.e lag ke dil meñ jaise paikāñ tiir kā
sher meñ 'iqbāl' kā shaidā hai 'ġhālib' kā asiir
'hāmid'-e-be-bahra-go munkir nahīñ hai miir kā
shikwa gar kije to hota hai guman taqsir ka
har jafa se bab khulta hai naya tazir ka
us se paiham guftugu kije kabhi barham na ho
asl par bhaari hai pahlu aap ki taswir ka
dil ke dar pe hain ye donon rishta-e-ham-saegi
gesu-e-shab-gir se hai fikr daman-gir ka
jaur se ghabrane wale hum nahin hain dekhiye
hausla kab tak jawan rahta hai charKH-e-pir ka
kis liye KHwab-e-zuleKHa tishna-e-tabir hai
misr mein shohra bahut yun to hua tabir ka
gholte hain kis liye wo chashma-e-haiwan mein zahr
kaam lete hain tabassum se wo kyun tahqir ka
kash meri kah rahe hain sabza-o-dasht-o-daman
lala-o-barg-o-saman aalam hai ye kashmir ka
naz se dekha hai KHaliq ne miTate barha
naKHun-e-tadbir ko likkha hua taqdir ka
KHak se kar KHaksari se riyazat se araq
aarzu ki aanch de nusKHa hai ye iksir ka
hasraton se is tarah rah rah ke hoti hai KHalish
TuT jae lag ke dil mein jaise paikan tir ka
sher mein 'iqbaal' ka shaida hai 'ghaalib' ka asir
'hamid'-e-be-bahra-go munkir nahin hai mir ka
