tera jamal tera husn kaamgar rahe

tirā jamāl tirā husn kāmgār rahe

vo kyā kare na jise dil pe iḳhtiyār rahe

hazār kasrat-e-rā.anā ne chilmaneñ Dālīñ

ba-har-hijāb-e-ta.ayyun vo āshkār rahe

mirī nazar kā to kyā zikr ḳhud bahār ke phuul

fareb-ḳhurda-e-rañgīnī-e-bahār rahe

kisī maqām pe dil ko sukūñ ho kyā ma.anī

jo be-qarār-e-azal hai vo be-qarār rahe

usī navāh meñ ahl-e-nazar bhī mumkin haiñ

kuchh aur der sar-e-tūr intizār rahe

tamām phuul the aur zarf-e-dāman-e-gulchīñ

jo bach ga.e vo charāġh-e-shab-bahār rahe

mirī nigāh meñ hai vo harīm-e-zebā.ī

kanīz ban ke jahāñ mariyam-e-bahār rahe

ḳhizāñ ḳhizāñ ho to daur-e-bahār kyā ma.anī

bahār ho to ḳhizāñ kyuuñ bane bahār rahe

jahān-e-husn ke asrār pā nahīñ saktā

jo ishq apnī hadoñ tak hī be-qarār rahe

mirī nazar se vo jalve na rah sake mastūr

jo zer-e-parda-e-pairāhan-e-bahār rahe

chhuḌā chukā huuñ maiñ dast-e-majāz se dāman

haqīqat apne hijāboñ se hoshiyār rahe

maiñ moḌtā huuñ isī ruḳh se kārvāñ apnā

kuchh aur der ufuq par abhī ġhubār rahe

junūn-e-shauq meñ tahqīq-e-rañg-o-bū kaisī

rahe chaman meñ to dīvāna-e-bahār rahe

haiñ is tarah ke zavābit bhī be-qarārī meñ

ki tere saath zamāna bhī be-qarār rahe

vo sirf mere haiñ 'ehsān' maiñ faqat un kā

hai nāgavār kisī ko to nāgavār rahe

tera jamal tera husn kaamgar rahe

wo kya kare na jise dil pe iKHtiyar rahe

hazar kasrat-e-raana ne chilmanen Dalin

ba-har-hijab-e-tayyun wo aashkar rahe

meri nazar ka to kya zikr KHud bahaar ke phul

fareb-KHurda-e-rangini-e-bahaar rahe

kisi maqam pe dil ko sukun ho kya mani

jo be-qarar-e-azal hai wo be-qarar rahe

usi nawah mein ahl-e-nazar bhi mumkin hain

kuchh aur der sar-e-tur intizar rahe

tamam phul the aur zarf-e-daman-e-gulchin

jo bach gae wo charagh-e-shab-bahaar rahe

meri nigah mein hai wo harim-e-zebai

kaniz ban ke jahan mariyam-e-bahaar rahe

KHizan KHizan ho to daur-e-bahaar kya mani

bahaar ho to KHizan kyun bane bahaar rahe

jahan-e-husn ke asrar pa nahin sakta

jo ishq apni hadon tak hi be-qarar rahe

meri nazar se wo jalwe na rah sake mastur

jo zer-e-parda-e-pairahan-e-bahaar rahe

chhuDa chuka hun main dast-e-majaz se daman

haqiqat apne hijabon se hoshiyar rahe

main moDta hun isi ruKH se karwan apna

kuchh aur der ufuq par abhi ghubar rahe

junun-e-shauq mein tahqiq-e-rang-o-bu kaisi

rahe chaman mein to diwana-e-bahaar rahe

hain is tarah ke zawabit bhi be-qarari mein

ki tere sath zamana bhi be-qarar rahe

wo sirf mere hain 'ehsan' main faqat un ka

hai nagawar kisi ko to nagawar rahe
