zabt-e-alam se dil hai pareshan is dil ko samjhae kaun

zabt-e-alam se dil hai pareshāñ is dil ko samjhā.e kaun

āñkhoñ se aañsū girte haiñ ḳhuuñ in ko rulvā.e kaun

chaak hai dāman chāk-garebāñ aql-o-ḳhirad sab chhoḌ ga.e

mausam-e-gul ke hangāme kī āḳhir yaad dilā.e kaun

un kā sabāt hai kitne din kā pūchh lo jā kar phūloñ se

ḳhanda-e-gul yā jashn-e-bahārāñ un se dhokā khaa.e kaun

mahfil-e-mai hai tishna-labī hai pās-e-adab to lāzim hai

maanā ki izn-e-ām hai saaqī baḌh ke jaam uThā.e kaun

dekh ke jalva ḳhīra haiñ āñkheñ hosh meñ aanā mushkil hai

aap hī kah deñ harf-e-tamannā apnī zabāñ par laa.e kaun

jām-o-subū haiñ raqs meñ lekin chup sī lagī hai 'manzar' ko

aage tasavvur kī duniyā meñ dil kī aag bujhā.e kaun

zabt-e-alam se dil hai pareshan is dil ko samjhae kaun

aankhon se aansu girte hain KHun in ko rulwae kaun

chaak hai daman chaak-gareban aql-o-KHirad sab chhoD gae

mausam-e-gul ke hangame ki aaKHir yaad dilae kaun

un ka sabaat hai kitne din ka puchh lo ja kar phulon se

KHanda-e-gul ya jashn-e-bahaaran un se dhoka khae kaun

mahfil-e-mai hai tishna-labi hai pas-e-adab to lazim hai

mana ki izn-e-am hai saqi baDh ke jam uThae kaun

dekh ke jalwa KHira hain aankhen hosh mein aana mushkil hai

aap hi kah den harf-e-tamanna apni zaban par lae kaun

jam-o-subu hain raqs mein lekin chup si lagi hai 'manzar' ko

aage tasawwur ki duniya mein dil ki aag bujhae kaun
