    shafaq ke rañg meñ hai qatl-e-āftāb rañg

    ufuq ke dil meñ hai ḳhanjar lahū-luhān hai shaam

    safed shīsha-e-nūr aur siyāh bārish-e-sañg

    zamīñ se tā-ba-falak hai buland raat naam

    yaqīñ zikr kyā hai ki ab gumāñ bhī nahīñ

    maqām-e-dard nahīñ manzil-e-fuġhāñ bhī nahīñ

    vo be-hisī hai ki jo qābil-e-bayāñ bhī nahīñ

    koī tarañg baaqī rahī na koī umañg

    jabīn-e-shauq nahīñ sañg-e-āstāñ bhī nahīñ

    raqīb jiit ga.e ḳhatm ho chukī hai jañg

    diloñ meñ shola-e-ġham bujh gayā hai kyā kiije

    koī hasīn nahīñ kis se ab vafā kiije

    sivā.e is ke ki qātil ko duā diije

    magar ye jañg nahīñ vo jo ḳhatm ho jaa.e

    ik intihā hai faqat husn-e-ibtidā ke liye

    bichhe haiñ ḳhaar ki guzreñge qāfile gul ke

    ḳhamoshī mohr-ba-lab hai kisī sadā ke liye

    udāsiyāñ haiñ ye sab naġhma-o-navā ke liye

    vo pahnā sham.a ne phir ḳhūn-e-āftāb taaj

    sitāre le ke uThe nūr-e-āftāb ke jaam

    palak palak pe firozāñ haiñ āñsuoñ ke charāġh

    laveñ lachaktī haiñ bijliyāñ chamaktī haiñ

    tamām pairahan-e-shab meñ bhar ga.e haiñ sharār

    hazār lab se zamīñ kah rahī hai qissa-e-dard

    hazār gosh-e-junūñ sun rahe haiñ afsāna

    chaTak rahī haiñ kahīñ tīrgī dīvāreñ

    lachak rahī haiñ kahīñ shāḳh-e-gul talvāreñ

    sanak rahī hai kahīñ dasht-e-sar-kashī meñ havā

    chahak rahī hai kahīñ bulbul-e-bahār-navā

    mahak rahā hai vafā ke chaman meñ dil gulāb

    chhalak rahī hai lab o aariz o nazar sharāb

    javān ḳhvāboñ ke jañgal se aa rahī hai nasīm

    nafas meñ nik.hat-e-paiġhām-e-inqalāb liye

    ḳhabar hai qāfila-e-rañg-o-nūr niklegā

    sahar ke dosh pe ik taaza āftāb liye

    shafaq ke rang mein hai qatl-e-aftab ka rang

    ufuq ke dil mein hai KHanjar lahu-luhan hai sham

    safed shisha-e-nur aur siyah barish-e-sang

    zamin se ta-ba-falak hai buland raat ka nam

    yaqin ka zikr hi kya hai ki ab guman bhi nahin

    maqam-e-dard nahin manzil-e-fughan bhi nahin

    wo be-hisi hai ki jo qabil-e-bayan bhi nahin

    koi tarang hi baqi rahi na koi umang

    jabin-e-shauq nahin sang-e-astan bhi nahin

    raqib jit gae KHatm ho chuki hai jang

    dilon mein shola-e-gham bujh gaya hai kya kije

    koi hasin nahin kis se ab wafa kije

    siwae is ke ki qatil hi ko dua dije

    magar ye jang nahin wo jo KHatm ho jae

    ek intiha hai faqat husn-e-ibtida ke liye

    bichhe hain KHar ki guzrenge qafile gul ke

    KHamoshi mohr-ba-lab hai kisi sada ke liye

    udasiyan hain ye sab naghma-o-nawa ke liye

    wo pahna shama ne phir KHun-e-aftab ka taj

    sitare le ke uThe nur-e-aftab ke jam

    palak palak pe firozan hain aansuon ke charagh

    lawen lachakti hain ya bijliyan chamakti hain

    tamam pairahan-e-shab mein bhar gae hain sharar

    hazar lab se zamin kah rahi hai qissa-e-dard

    hazar gosh-e-junun sun rahe hain afsana

    chaTak rahi hain kahin tirgi ki diwaren

    lachak rahi hain kahin shaKH-e-gul ki talwaren

    sanak rahi hai kahin dasht-e-sar-kashi mein hawa

    chahak rahi hai kahin bulbul-e-bahaar-nawa

    mahak raha hai wafa ke chaman mein dil ka gulab

    chhalak rahi hai lab o aariz o nazar ki sharab

    jawan KHwabon ke jangal se aa rahi hai nasim

    nafas mein nikhat-e-paigham-e-inqalab liye

    KHabar hai qafila-e-rang-o-nur niklega

    sahar ke dosh pe ek taza aaftab liye
