tark-e-lazzat pe mail jo ba-zahir hai mizaj
tark-e-lazzāt pe maa.il jo ba-zāhir hai mizāj
aaj to bagulā-bhagat jaise bane haiñ mahrāj
husn-e-maġhrūr o siyah-fām kā kaise ho ilaaj
shakl-o-sūrat to chuḌeloñ kī hai pariyoñ ke mizāj
chhoḌ aa.e haram-e-pāk meñ jins-e-īmāñ
laad kar lā na sake jab ki vatan tak hujjāj
aise bhī bānī-e-be-dād haiñ kuchh duniyā meñ
falak-e-pīr bhī detā hai jinheñ jhuk ke ḳhirāj
husn kī jitnī zamīñ hotī hai nā-qābil-e-kāsht
ishq paidā kiyā kartā hai sadā sab meñ anaaj
sab kuchh allāh ne de rakkhā hai māl-o-zar-o-sīm
haiñ magar ahl-e-duval aql-o-ḳhirad ke muhtāj
is ke aa.iin nahīñ ab jo amal ke qābil
to ise kar do retire ki purānā hai samāj
jab kabhī log taraqqī kī taraf baḌhte haiñ
Taañg uḌā dete haiñ kambaḳht yahī rasm-o-rivāj
haa.e kyā pūchhte ho murda diloñ kā ahvāl
miyāñ zinda haiñ magar beva haiñ un kī azvāj
nā-ḳhudā.ī kiyā kartā hai talātum ḳhud hī
khetī haiñ aap hī aa kar mirī kashtī amvāj
chain se shaiḳh-e-haram umr basar karte haiñ
rūpaya bank meñ hai miltā hai māhāna byaaj
kaag uḌ uḌ ke ye botal ke sadā dete haiñ
nashsha-bandī kī sunā hai koī mēting hai aaj
ab tū jo chāhe kare ishq-e-vatan meñ ai 'shauq'
husn kuchh bol nahīñ saktā hai de kar saurāj
tark-e-lazzat pe mail jo ba-zahir hai mizaj
aaj to bagula-bhagat jaise bane hain mahraj
husn-e-maghrur o siyah-fam ka kaise ho ilaj
shakl-o-surat to chuDelon ki hai pariyon ke mizaj
chhoD aae haram-e-pak mein jins-e-iman
lad kar la na sake jab ki watan tak hujjaj
aise bhi bani-e-be-dad hain kuchh duniya mein
falak-e-pir bhi deta hai jinhen jhuk ke KHiraj
husn ki jitni zamin hoti hai na-qabil-e-kasht
ishq paida kiya karta hai sada sab mein anaj
sab kuchh allah ne de rakkha hai mal-o-zar-o-sim
hain magar ahl-e-duwal aql-o-KHirad ke muhtaj
is ke aain nahin ab jo amal ke qabil
to ise kar do retire ki purana hai samaj
jab kabhi log taraqqi ki taraf baDhte hain
Tang uDa dete hain kambaKHt yahi rasm-o-riwaj
hae kya puchhte ho murda dilon ka ahwal
miyan zinda hain magar bewa hain un ki azwaj
na-KHudai kiya karta hai talatum KHud hi
kheti hain aap hi aa kar meri kashti amwaj
chain se shaiKH-e-haram umr basar karte hain
rupaya bank mein hai milta hai mahana byaj
kag uD uD ke ye botal ke sada dete hain
nashsha-bandi ki suna hai koi meeting hai aaj
ab tu jo chahe kare ishq-e-watan mein ai 'shauq'
husn kuchh bol nahin sakta hai de kar sauraj
