ye pili shaKH par baiThe hue pile parinde

ye piilī shāḳh par baiThe hue piile parinde

laraztī dhuup kī āġhosh meñ sahme parinde

ḳhudā ma.alūm kis āvāz ke pyāse parinde

vo dekho ḳhāmushī kī jhiil meñ utre parinde

mire kamre kī vīrānī se uktā.e parinde

sulagtī dopahar meñ kis taraf jaate parinde

hisār-e-jism se ghabrā ke jab nikle parinde

havā kī zad meñ aa kar der tak chīḳhe parinde

ḳhud apne sho.ala-e-parvāz se jalte parinde

ḳhalā-e-yaḳh-zada meñ rah ke bhī sulge parinde

mire dast-e-havas-ālūd se uḌte parinde

kisī shāḳh-e-javānī tak nahīñ pahuñche parinde

azal se ik hasīñ ḳhushbū ke dīvāne parinde

abad tak 'kaif' dasht-e-rañg meñ bhaTke parinde

ye pili shaKH par baiThe hue pile parinde

larazti dhup ki aaghosh mein sahme parinde

KHuda malum kis aawaz ke pyase parinde

wo dekho KHamushi ki jhil mein utre parinde

mere kamre ki virani se uktae parinde

sulagti dopahar mein kis taraf jate parinde

hisar-e-jism se ghabra ke jab nikle parinde

hawa ki zad mein aa kar der tak chiKHe parinde

KHud apne shoala-e-parwaz se jalte parinde

KHala-e-yaKH-zada mein rah ke bhi sulge parinde

mere dast-e-hawas-alud se uDte parinde

kisi shaKH-e-jawani tak nahin pahunche parinde

azal se ek hasin KHushbu ke diwane parinde

abad tak 'kaif' dasht-e-rang mein bhaTke parinde
