bahār meñ bhī nahīñ koī shāḳh-e-gul mahfūz

chaman kā hasan hai muflis kī aabrū kī tarah

bahaar mein bhi nahin koi shaKH-e-gul mahfuz

chaman ka hasan hai muflis ki aabru ki tarah

tū faqat jaam kā mafhūm samajh ai saaqī

tishnagī kyā hai ye mai-ḳhvār samajh lete haiñ

tu faqat jam ka mafhum samajh ai saqi

tishnagi kya hai ye mai-KHwar samajh lete hain

nafas nafas pe ye hotā hai kyuuñ mujhe mahsūs

hayāt tujh se alag rah ke ḳhud-kushī to nahīñ

nafas nafas pe ye hota hai kyun mujhe mahsus

hayat tujh se alag rah ke KHud-kushi to nahin

terī tausīf se ḳhālī ho agar

lafz ho jaatā hai mohmal kaisā

teri tausif se KHali ho agar

lafz ho jata hai mohmal kaisa
