uThate hain wo jab ruKH se naqab aahista aahista
uThāte haiñ vo jab ruḳh se naqāb āhista āhista
nikaltā hai ufuq se māhtāb āhista āhista
taġhāful un kī aadat hai tasāhul un kī fitrat hai
likheñge vo mire ḳhat kā javāb āhista āhista
umañD aa.e mirī āñkhoñ meñ aañsū be-qarārī ke
ye kaisā rang laayā iztirāb āhista āhista
are tauba baḌī tauba-shikan āvāz hotī hai
jo paimāne meñ Dhaltī hai sharāb āhista āhista
nazar 'iqbāl' terī soz-e-pinhāñ par nahīñ shāyad
huā jaatā hai dil jal kar kabāb āhista āhista
uThate hain wo jab ruKH se naqab aahista aahista
nikalta hai ufuq se mahtab aahista aahista
taghaful un ki aadat hai tasahul un ki fitrat hai
likhenge wo mere KHat ka jawab aahista aahista
umanD aae meri aankhon mein aansu be-qarari ke
ye kaisa rang laya iztirab aahista aahista
are tauba baDi tauba-shikan aawaz hoti hai
jo paimane mein Dhalti hai sharab aahista aahista
nazar 'iqbaal' teri soz-e-pinhan par nahin shayad
hua jata hai dil jal kar kabab aahista aahista
