Tankon se zaKHm-e-pahlu lagta hai kankhajura

Tāñkoñ se zaḳhm-e-pahlū lagtā hai kankhajūrā

mat chheḌ mere dil ko baiThā hai kankhajūrā

champā-kalī us kī kyuuñ kar ḳhayāl chhūTe

be-vaj.h dil se aa kar lipTā hai kankhajūrā

vo jumbishe-e-nigah kyuuñ maare na Dañk har dam

tahrīr-e-surma goyā kaalā hai kankhajūrā

zeb-e-gulū hai kanThī yāqūt kī hai ghunDī

ai shoḳh ye garebāñ terā hai kankhajūrā

rahtā hai kyā tasavvur din raat mujh ko us kā

āñkhoñ meñ laal sar kā phirtā hai kankhajūrā

tiflī meñ khel sīkhe mujh par jo ab banā kar

tinkoñ se sīñgare ke pheñkā hai kankhajūrā

ḳhatt-e-siyāh darpai hai zulf ke 'nasīr' ab

bichchhū kā chhīnñe ghar niklā hai kankhajūrā

Tankon se zaKHm-e-pahlu lagta hai kankhajura

mat chheD mere dil ko baiTha hai kankhajura

champa-kali us ki kyun kar KHayal chhuTe

be-wajh dil se aa kar lipTa hai kankhajura

wo jumbishe-e-nigah kyun mare na Dank har dam

tahrir-e-surma goya kala hai kankhajura

zeb-e-gulu hai kanThi yaqut ki hai ghunDi

ai shoKH ye gareban tera hai kankhajura

rahta hai kya tasawwur din raat mujh ko us ka

aankhon mein lal sar ka phirta hai kankhajura

tifli mein khel sikhe mujh par jo ab bana kar

tinkon se singare ke phenka hai kankhajura

KHatt-e-siyah darpai hai zulf ke 'nasir' ab

bichchhu ka chhinne ghar nikla hai kankhajura
