wo ek shaKHs ki jo aaftab jaisa hai

vo ek shaḳhs ki jo āftāb jaisā hai

qarīb aa.e to taaza gulāb jaisā hai

ḳhudā kare ki kabhī bhī na TūTne paa.e

ye terā merā milan ek ḳhvāb jaisā hai

zarā bhī tez havā ho to kaañp uThtā hai

vo ḳhush-jamāl to shāḳh-e-gulāb jaisā hai

kuchh aise lagtā hai jaise guzar ga.iiñ sadiyāñ

tirī judā.ī kā mausam azaab jaisā hai

samay ke tez bagūloñ kī zad meñ Thahrā huuñ

mire vajūd kā dariyā habāb jaisā hai

tirī jabīñ pe ibārat hai dīn-e-ishq 'niyāz'

tirā vajūd muqaddas kitāb jaisā hai

wo ek shaKHs ki jo aaftab jaisa hai

qarib aae to taza gulab jaisa hai

KHuda kare ki kabhi bhi na TuTne pae

ye tera mera milan ek KHwab jaisa hai

zara bhi tez hawa ho to kanp uThta hai

wo KHush-jamal to shaKH-e-gulab jaisa hai

kuchh aise lagta hai jaise guzar gain sadiyan

teri judai ka mausam azab jaisa hai

samay ke tez bagulon ki zad mein Thahra hun

mere wajud ka dariya habab jaisa hai

teri jabin pe ibarat hai din-e-ishq 'niyaz'

tera wajud muqaddas kitab jaisa hai
