us kamar ke KHayal mein hain hum

us kamar ke ḳhayāl meñ haiñ ham

baiThe karte haiñ sair-e-mulk-e-adam

be-ḳhudī ham pe rakhiyo lutf-o-karam

apne ta.iiñ bhuul jaa.eñ jab tak ham

kyuuñ gunahgār ho na nau-e-bashar

pahle hī chūke hazrat-e-ādam

aah is bahr meñ habāb kī tarah

apnī bhī zindagī hai koī dam

dī hai dhūnī dar-e-tavakkul par

chhoḌ dī ham ne minnat-e-ālam

dekhne bhī na paa.e qātil ko

zaḳhm itne hī lag ga.e paiham

nīl-gūñ kyuuñ na ho hisār-e-rañg

hai siyah-posh ḳhāna-e-mātam

lutf hotā jo aish meñ 'joshish'

chhoḌ detā na saltanat ad.ham

us kamar ke KHayal mein hain hum

baiThe karte hain sair-e-mulk-e-adam

be-KHudi hum pe rakhiyo lutf-o-karam

apne tain bhul jaen jab tak hum

kyun gunahgar ho na nau-e-bashar

pahle hi chuke hazrat-e-adam

aah is bahr mein habab ki tarah

apni bhi zindagi hai koi dam

di hai dhuni dar-e-tawakkul par

chhoD di hum ne minnat-e-alam

dekhne bhi na pae qatil ko

zaKHm itne hi lag gae paiham

nil-gun kyun na ho hisar-e-rang

hai siyah-posh KHana-e-matam

lutf hota jo aish mein 'joshish'

chhoD deta na saltanat adham
