vo qaht-e-muḳhlisī hai ki yāroñ kī bazm se

ġhībat nikāl deñ to faqat ḳhāmushī bache

wo qaht-e-muKHlisi hai ki yaron ki bazm se

ghibat nikal den to faqat KHamushi bache

phailā huā hai vaqt kī dahlīz par dhuāñ

us aag kā jo aaj bhī raushan nahīñ huī

phaila hua hai waqt ki dahliz par dhuan

us aag ka jo aaj bhi raushan nahin hui

sadā-e-dard lagātā huuñ us galī meñ jahāñ

shaguft-e-gul bhī samā'at pe baar hotī hai

sada-e-dard lagata hun us gali mein jahan

shaguft-e-gul bhi sama'at pe bar hoti hai
