tamam nur-e-tajalli tamam rang-e-chaman

tamām nūr-e-tajallī tamām rang-e-chaman

ye terā chāñd sā chehra ye terā gul sā badan

na Dagmagā.e qadam garche rāh-e-ulfat meñ

kahīñ the dasht-o-bayābāñ kahīñ the dār-o-rasan

hazār aa.e zamāne meñ inqalāb magar

mizāj husn kā badlā na 'ishq hī kā chalan

sabāt-o-sabr zarūrī hai aadmī ke liye

shikan jabīñ pe na aa.e ba-vaqt-e-ranj-o-mehan

ye baat aur hai nāqid rahe zamāna magar

jahāñ se miT nahīñ sakte nuqūsh-e-tesha-fan

mirā dayār hai mehr-o-vafā kā gahvāra

adū-e-mehr-o-mohabbat kā hai magar madfan

haqīqatoñ se ba-har-hāl jo gurez kare

vo shā'irī hai na hikmat na vo hunar hai na fan

har ik ko jaan zamāne meñ apnī pyārī hai

'azīz-tar hai magar ham ko jaan se bhī vatan

bahut hī shor thā rañgīnī-e-jahāñ kā magar

milā na ham ko yahāñ kuchh sivā-e-ranj-o-mehan

vo jān-e-husn-o-latāfat hī ban ke aayā hai

bahār ġhuncha-ba-ġhuncha sabā chaman-ba-chaman

hazār baar huā imtihān-e-'ishq magar

na jaane husn hai kyuuñ mujh se bad-gumāñ 'darshan'

tamam nur-e-tajalli tamam rang-e-chaman

ye tera chand sa chehra ye tera gul sa badan

na Dagmagae qadam garche rah-e-ulfat mein

kahin the dasht-o-bayaban kahin the dar-o-rasan

hazar aae zamane mein inqalab magar

mizaj husn ka badla na 'ishq hi ka chalan

sabaat-o-sabr zaruri hai aadmi ke liye

shikan jabin pe na aae ba-waqt-e-ranj-o-mehan

ye baat aur hai naqid rahe zamana magar

jahan se miT nahin sakte nuqush-e-tesha-fan

mera dayar hai mehr-o-wafa ka gahwara

adu-e-mehr-o-mohabbat ka hai magar madfan

haqiqaton se ba-har-haal jo gurez kare

wo sha'iri hai na hikmat na wo hunar hai na fan

har ek ko jaan zamane mein apni pyari hai

'aziz-tar hai magar hum ko jaan se bhi watan

bahut hi shor tha rangini-e-jahan ka magar

mila na hum ko yahan kuchh siwa-e-ranj-o-mehan

wo jaan-e-husn-o-latafat hi ban ke aaya hai

bahaar ghuncha-ba-ghuncha saba chaman-ba-chaman

hazar bar hua imtihan-e-'ishq magar

na jaane husn hai kyun mujh se bad-guman 'darshan'
