zamzama nala-e-bulbul Thahre

zamzama nāla-e-bulbul Thahre

maiñ jo fariyād karūñ ġhul Thahre

naġhma-e-kun ke karishme dekho

kahīñ qum qum kahīñ qulqul Thahre

jaal meñ kātib-e-āmāl phañseñ

dosh par aa ke jo kākul Thahre

raat din rahtī hai gardish un ko

chāñd sūraj qadah-e-mul Thahre

merā kahnā tirā sunñā ma.alūm

jumbish-e-lab hī agar gul Thahre

jaan kar bhī vo na jāneñ mujh ko

ārifāna hī tajāhul Thahre

āshiqī meñ ye tanazzul kaisā

aap ham kyuuñ gul-o-bulbul Thahre

tujh pe khul jaa.e jo rāz-e-hama-ūst

falsafī duur o tasalsul Thahre

aañkh se aañkh meñ paiġhām aa.e

gar nigāhoñ kā tavassul Thahre

khul ga.ī be-hamagī bā-hamagī

kul maiñ jab mahv hue kul Thahre

dil se dil baat kare aañkh se aañkh

āshiqī kā jo tavassul Thahre

kyuuñ na firdaus meñ jaa.e 'mā.il'

jab mohammad kā tavassul Thahre

zamzama nala-e-bulbul Thahre

main jo fariyaad karun ghul Thahre

naghma-e-kun ke karishme dekho

kahin qum qum kahin qulqul Thahre

jal mein katib-e-amal phansen

dosh par aa ke jo kakul Thahre

raat din rahti hai gardish un ko

chand suraj qadah-e-mul Thahre

mera kahna tera sunna malum

jumbish-e-lab hi agar gul Thahre

jaan kar bhi wo na jaanen mujh ko

aarifana hi tajahul Thahre

aashiqi mein ye tanazzul kaisa

aap hum kyun gul-o-bulbul Thahre

tujh pe khul jae jo raaz-e-hama-ust

falsafi dur o tasalsul Thahre

aankh se aankh mein paigham aae

gar nigahon ka tawassul Thahre

khul gai be-hamagi ba-hamagi

kul main jab mahw hue kul Thahre

dil se dil baat kare aankh se aankh

aashiqi ka jo tawassul Thahre

kyun na firdaus mein jae 'mail'

jab mohammad ka tawassul Thahre
