wo jis pe tumhein sham-e-sar-e-rah ka guman hai

vo jis pe tumheñ sham-e-sar-e-rah kā gumāñ hai

vo sho.ala-e-āvāra hamārī hī zabāñ hai

ab haath hamāre hai inaañ raḳhsh-e-junūñ kī

ab sar pe hamāre kulah-e-sañg-e-butāñ hai

bas pher ke muñh ḳhaar qadam khīñch rahe the

dekhā to nihāñ qāfila-e-ham-safarāñ hai

chubhte hī banī ḳhār-sifat pā-e-ḳhizāñ meñ

kyā kiije bahut ham ko ġham-e-lāla-ruḳhāñ hai

kaam aa.e bahut log sar-e-maqtal-e-zulmāt

ai raushnī-e-kūcha-e-dil-dār kahāñ hai

ai fasl-e-junūñ ham ko pa.e-shaġhl-e-garebāñ

paivand hī kaafī hai agar jaama girāñ hai

'majrūh' kahāñ se guhar-e-gandum-o-jau laa.eñ

apnī to girah meñ yahī chashm-e-nigarāñ hai

wo jis pe tumhein sham-e-sar-e-rah ka guman hai

wo shoala-e-awara hamari hi zaban hai

ab hath hamare hai inan raKHsh-e-junun ki

ab sar pe hamare kulah-e-sang-e-butan hai

bas pher ke munh KHar qadam khinch rahe the

dekha to nihan qafila-e-ham-safaran hai

chubhte hi bani KHar-sifat pa-e-KHizan mein

kya kije bahut hum ko gham-e-lala-ruKHan hai

kaam aae bahut log sar-e-maqtal-e-zulmat

ai raushni-e-kucha-e-dil-dar kahan hai

ai fasl-e-junun hum ko pae-shaghl-e-gareban

paiwand hi kafi hai agar jama giran hai

'majruh' kahan se guhar-e-gandum-o-jau laen

apni to girah mein yahi chashm-e-nigaran hai
