    maiñ ne us ko dekhā hai

    ujlī ujlī saḌkoñ par ik gard bharī hairānī meñ

    phailtī bhiiḌ ke auñdhe auñdhe kaToroñ tuġhyānī meñ

    jab vo ḳhālī botal pheñk ke kahtā hai

    ''duniyā! terā husn, yahī bad-sūratī hai''

    duniyā us ko ghūrtī hai

    shor-e-salāsil ban kar gūñjne lagtā hai

    añgāroñ bharī āñkhoñ meñ ye tund savāl

    kaun hai ye jis ne apnī bahkī bahkī sāñsoñ jaal

    bām-e-zamāñ par pheñkā hai

    kaun hai jo bal khāte zamīroñ ke pur-pech dhundalkoñ meñ

    rūhoñ ke ifrīt-kadoñ ke zahr-andoz mahlakoñ meñ

    le aayā hai yuuñ bin pūchhe apne aap

    ainak ke barfīle shīshoñ se chhantī nazroñ chaap

    kaun hai ye gustāḳh

    taaḳh taḌāḳh!

    main ne us ko dekha hai

    ujli ujli saDkon par ek gard bhari hairani mein

    phailti bhiD ke aundhe aundhe kaToron ki tughyani mein

    jab wo KHali botal phenk ke kahta hai

    duniya! tera husn, yahi bad-surati hai

    duniya us ko ghurti hai

    shor-e-salasil ban kar gunjne lagta hai

    angaron bhari aankhon mein ye tund sawal

    kaun hai ye jis ne apni bahki bahki sanson ka jal

    baam-e-zaman par phenka hai

    kaun hai jo bal khate zamiron ke pur-pech dhundalkon mein

    ruhon ke ifrit-kadon ke zahr-andoz mahlakon mein

    le aaya hai yun bin puchhe apne aap

    ainak ke barfile shishon se chhanti nazron ki chap

    kaun hai ye gustaKH

    taKH taDaKH!
