ye kaun sa parwana mua jal ke lagan mein
ye kaun sā parvāna muā jal ke lagan meñ
hairat se jo hai sham.a kī añgusht dahan meñ
kahte haiñ use chāh-e-zanaḳhdāñ ġhalatī se
bose kā nishāñ hai ye tire seb-e-zaqan meñ
vo ā.ina-tan aa.ina phir kis liye dekhe
jo dekh le muñh apnā har ik uzv-e-badan meñ
vo subah ko is Dar se nahīñ baam par aatā
naama na koī bāñdh de sūraj kī kiran meñ
mazmūñ nahīñ likhte ham use dāġh-e-jigar kā
rakh dete haiñ laale kī kalī ḳhat kī shikan meñ
ye gard-e-kudūrat se pas-e-marg thā dil saaf
dhabbā na lagā ḳhaak kā bhī mere kafan meñ
zindāñ meñ asīroñ se ye kahtā thā mah-e-misr
ġhurbat hī meñ ārām milā aur na vatan meñ
ye kaun sa parwana mua jal ke lagan mein
hairat se jo hai shama ki angusht dahan mein
kahte hain use chah-e-zanaKHdan ghalati se
bose ka nishan hai ye tere seb-e-zaqan mein
wo aaina-tan aaina phir kis liye dekhe
jo dekh le munh apna har ek uzw-e-badan mein
wo subah ko is Dar se nahin baam par aata
nama na koi bandh de suraj ki kiran mein
mazmun nahin likhte hum use dagh-e-jigar ka
rakh dete hain lale ki kali KHat ki shikan mein
ye gard-e-kudurat se pas-e-marg tha dil saf
dhabba na laga KHak ka bhi mere kafan mein
zindan mein asiron se ye kahta tha mah-e-misr
ghurbat hi mein aaram mila aur na watan mein
