soz-e-dil aah-e-sharar-bar se pahchante hain

soz-e-dil āh-e-sharar-bār se pahchānte haiñ

log tūfān ko āsār se pahchānte haiñ

hausla kahte haiñ ik rāh-e-amal detā hai

hashr ko ham tirī raftār se pahchānte haiñ

rang-e-mai rang-e-shafaq rang-e-guhar rang-e-gulāb

tere rang-e-lab-o-ruḳhsār se pahchānte haiñ

apnī qismat ke ḳham-o-pech ko ham dīvāne

tere hī gesū-e-ḳhamdār se pahchānte haiñ

ahl-e-dil ahl-e-jigar ahl-e-nazar ahl-e-vafā

ham ko shauq-e-rasan-o-dār se pahchānte haiñ

gardish-e-charḳh kā ruḳh ho ki zamāne kā mizāj

sirf ham dīda-e-bedār se pahchānte haiñ

aur haiñ vo jo zar-o-sīm pe rakhte haiñ nazar

ham to insān ko kirdār se pahchānte haiñ

husn vāloñ kī ye ḳhūbī hai ki dil vāloñ ko

ik nazar hī meñ baḌe pyaar se pahchānte haiñ

shā.irī kā ye karam kam to nahīñ hai 'manshā'

log tujh ko tire ash.ār se pahchānte haiñ

soz-e-dil aah-e-sharar-bar se pahchante hain

log tufan ko aasar se pahchante hain

hausla kahte hain ek rah-e-amal deta hai

hashr ko hum teri raftar se pahchante hain

rang-e-mai rang-e-shafaq rang-e-guhar rang-e-gulab

tere rang-e-lab-o-ruKHsar se pahchante hain

apni qismat ke KHam-o-pech ko hum diwane

tere hi gesu-e-KHamdar se pahchante hain

ahl-e-dil ahl-e-jigar ahl-e-nazar ahl-e-wafa

hum ko shauq-e-rasan-o-dar se pahchante hain

gardish-e-charKH ka ruKH ho ki zamane ka mizaj

sirf hum dida-e-bedar se pahchante hain

aur hain wo jo zar-o-sim pe rakhte hain nazar

hum to insan ko kirdar se pahchante hain

husn walon ki ye KHubi hai ki dil walon ko

ek nazar hi mein baDe pyar se pahchante hain

shairi ka ye karam kam to nahin hai 'mansha'

log tujh ko tere ashaar se pahchante hain
