uTha jo dast-e-sitam qatl-e-be-nawa ke liye

uThā jo dast-e-sitam qatl-e-be-navā ke liye

nigāh-e-shauq ne bose har ik adā ke liye

mahak hai tere shabistāñ kī bū-e-zulf-e-sabā

chalī hai bād-e-sabā ik shikasta-pā ke liye

suno ki dil ko mire e.atibār-e-zīst nahīñ

rukā huuñ ek nafas arz-e-mudda.ā ke liye

mire ḳhayāl ne pahnā libās-e-harf-o-nidā

sarīr-e-ḳhāma hai raqsāñ mirī navā ke liye

dayār-e-dil to huā vaqf-e-āhuvān-e-javāñ

ab aur koī banā.eñge ghar ḳhudā ke liye

mire ḳhayāl ko qaid-e-makāñ qubūl nahīñ

hudūd-e-bahr-o-bayābāñ nahīñ havā ke liye

rahī nazar meñ hamāre urūs-e-shauq-e-mudām

fanā-e-zīst rahe ziist kī baqā ke liye

kise batā.eñ ki ham ne pilā ke ḳhūn-e-jigar

chaman meñ phuul khilā.e tirī qabā ke liye

ḳhayāl-o-rañg-o-nuqūsh-o-hurūf-o-lauh-o-qalam

bichhe haiñ daam jamāl-e-gurez-pā ke liye

uTha jo dast-e-sitam qatl-e-be-nawa ke liye

nigah-e-shauq ne bose har ek ada ke liye

mahak hai tere shabistan ki bu-e-zulf-e-saba

chali hai baad-e-saba ek shikasta-pa ke liye

suno ki dil ko mere eatibar-e-zist nahin

ruka hun ek nafas arz-e-muddaa ke liye

mere KHayal ne pahna libas-e-harf-o-nida

sarir-e-KHama hai raqsan meri nawa ke liye

dayar-e-dil to hua waqf-e-ahuwan-e-jawan

ab aur koi banaenge ghar KHuda ke liye

mere KHayal ko qaid-e-makan qubul nahin

hudud-e-bahr-o-bayaban nahin hawa ke liye

rahi nazar mein hamare urus-e-shauq-e-mudam

fana-e-zist rahe zist ki baqa ke liye

kise bataen ki hum ne pila ke KHun-e-jigar

chaman mein phul khilae teri qaba ke liye

KHayal-o-rang-o-nuqush-o-huruf-o-lauh-o-qalam

bichhe hain dam jamal-e-gurez-pa ke liye
