zalil maslahaton ka asir niklega
zalīl maslahatoñ kā asiir niklegā
ḳhabar nahīñ thī ki tū be-zamīr niklegā
hamāre shahr ke logoñ ko ye umiid na thī
amīr-e-shahr bhī dil kā faqīr niklegā
agar naqāb haTī rāhzan ke chehre se
to kyā ḳhabar thī hamārā amiir niklegā
maiñ jāntā thā tire lab se bad-gumānī meñ
jo lafz niklegā ban kar vo tiir niklegā
sunā hai kūcha-e-shīsha-garāñ se aaj 'anvar'
vo sang-zādoñ kā jamm-e-ġhafīr niklegā
zalil maslahaton ka asir niklega
KHabar nahin thi ki tu be-zamir niklega
hamare shahr ke logon ko ye umid na thi
amir-e-shahr bhi dil ka faqir niklega
agar naqab haTi rahzan ke chehre se
to kya KHabar thi hamara amir niklega
main jaanta tha tere lab se bad-gumani mein
jo lafz niklega ban kar wo tir niklega
suna hai kucha-e-shisha-garan se aaj 'anwar'
wo sang-zadon ka jamm-e-ghafir niklega
