yun bhi to sataya hai teri jalwagari ne

yuuñ bhī to satāyā hai tirī jalvagarī ne

āñkheñ na milā.īñ mirī bāliġh-nazarī ne

minnat-kash-e-pindār-e-junūñ hai dil-e-pur-ḳhūñ

un kā bhī sahārā na liyā be-ḳhabarī ne

ai husn-e-dil-ārā tirī ik ek adā ko

parvān chaḌhāyā mirī hairat-nagarī ne

thī marhala-e-saḳht vo manzil ki jahāñ par

tum ko bhī sambhālā mirī āshufta-sarī ne

tum ḳhud hī chale aaoge shāyad sar-e-manzil

ik raah nikālī hai mirī dar-badarī ne

ai ḳhastagī-e-ishq chaman meñ to guzar kar

phūloñ kā bhī rakkhā hai bharam jāma-darī ne

din raat kiye ek vo tūfān uThāyā

ġhunchoñ ke liye mauj-e-nasīm-saharī ne

afsos unheñ zauq-e-nazar hī ne girāyā

parde jo uThā.e the mirī dīda-varī ne

chup haiñ mah-o-mirrīḳh zamīñ hai mutabassim

khīñchā hai zarā tuul umīd-e-basharī ne

hairat mujhe is par hai 'shahāb'-e-suḳhan-ārā

taakā na tujhe vasvasa-e-nāmvarī ne

yun bhi to sataya hai teri jalwagari ne

aankhen na milain meri baaligh-nazari ne

minnat-kash-e-pindar-e-junun hai dil-e-pur-KHun

un ka bhi sahaara na liya be-KHabari ne

ai husn-e-dil-ara teri ek ek ada ko

parwan chaDhaya meri hairat-nagari ne

thi marhala-e-saKHt wo manzil ki jahan par

tum ko bhi sambhaala meri aashufta-sari ne

tum KHud hi chale aaoge shayad sar-e-manzil

ek rah nikali hai meri dar-badari ne

ai KHastagi-e-ishq chaman mein to guzar kar

phulon ka bhi rakkha hai bharam jama-dari ne

din raat kiye ek wo tufan uThaya

ghunchon ke liye mauj-e-nasim-sahari ne

afsos unhen zauq-e-nazar hi ne giraya

parde jo uThae the meri dida-wari ne

chup hain mah-o-mirriKH zamin hai mutabassim

khincha hai zara tul umid-e-bashari ne

hairat mujhe is par hai 'shahab'-e-suKHan-ara

taka na tujhe waswasa-e-namwari ne
