wo bhi milne nai poshak badal kar aaya

vo bhī milne na.ī poshāk badal kar aayā

maiñ jo kal pairahan-e-ḳhāk badal kar aayā

ai zamīñ-zād tirī rif.ateñ chhūne ke liye

tujh talak maiñ ka.ī aflāk badal kar aayā

us ko raas aa.ī hai ye bazm-e-jahāñ jo bhī yahāñ

apnā paimāna-e-idrāk badal kar aayā

ishq meñ koī takalluf kī zarūrat to nahīñ

phir vo kyuuñ dīda-e-namnāk badal kar aayā

ham se kar be-sar-o-sāmānī-e-hijrat pe savāl

us se mat pūchh jo imlāk badal kar aayā

āñsuoñ se na badal paayā ruḳh-e-bād 'jamāl'

par mizāj-e-ḳhas-o-ḳhāshāk badal kar aayā

wo bhi milne nai poshak badal kar aaya

main jo kal pairahan-e-KHak badal kar aaya

ai zamin-zad teri rifaten chhune ke liye

tujh talak main kai aflak badal kar aaya

us ko ras aai hai ye bazm-e-jahan jo bhi yahan

apna paimana-e-idrak badal kar aaya

ishq mein koi takalluf ki zarurat to nahin

phir wo kyun dida-e-namnak badal kar aaya

hum se kar be-sar-o-samani-e-hijrat pe sawal

us se mat puchh jo imlak badal kar aaya

aansuon se na badal paya ruKH-e-baad 'jamal'

par mizaj-e-KHas-o-KHashak badal kar aaya
