yak-ba-yak jata raha dilbar jo ghar aaya hua

yak-ba-yak jaatā rahā dilbar jo ghar aayā huā

dauḌā dauḌā maiñ phirā galiyoñ meñ ghabrāyā huā

jaan kyā jallād kī leve dobārā hukm-e-qatl

muñh se us zālim ne jo yakbār farmāyā huā

hijr meñ us gul ke ye sūrat hamārī ban ga.ī

rang bhī hai zard aur chehra bhī murjhāyā huā

ḳhāna-e-dil se kareñ ġham yaar kā kis tarah duur

dar se uThtā hai muhassal koī biThlāyā huā

kyā ġhazab TuuTe hai dekheñ āshiqoñ kī jaan par

aaj kuchh ġhusse meñ hai baiThā vo jhunjhlāyā huā

yuuñ kiyā barbād us gul ne dil-e-pazh-murda ko

pheñk de hai phuul jaise koī kumlāyā huā

'muntazir' kā jī jalā de kyoñ na har ik baat meñ

hai vo zālim sho.ala-ḳhū ġhairoñ kā bhaḌkāyā huā

yak-ba-yak jata raha dilbar jo ghar aaya hua

dauDa dauDa main phira galiyon mein ghabraya hua

jaan kya jallad ki lewe dobara hukm-e-qatl

munh se us zalim ne jo yakbar farmaya hua

hijr mein us gul ke ye surat hamari ban gai

rang bhi hai zard aur chehra bhi murjhaya hua

KHana-e-dil se karen gham yar ka kis tarah dur

dar se uThta hai muhassal koi biThlaya hua

kya ghazab TuTe hai dekhen aashiqon ki jaan par

aaj kuchh ghusse mein hai baiTha wo jhunjhlaya hua

yun kiya barbaad us gul ne dil-e-pazh-murda ko

phenk de hai phul jaise koi kumlaya hua

'muntazir' ka ji jala de kyon na har ek baat mein

hai wo zalim shoala-KHu ghairon ka bhaDkaya hua
