shīsha-e-ābrū sambhāl ai dil

daur ulTā chalā hai duniyā kā

shisha-e-abru sambhaal ai dil

daur ulTa chala hai duniya ka

dekhnā hai piyā kī zulf-e-darāz

yā ilāhī mujhe de umr-e-darāz

dekhna hai piya ki zulf-e-daraaz

ya ilahi mujhe de umr-e-daraaz

'valī' saanī nahīñ dā.ūd lekin

ġhazal kahtā hai har ik bā-talāzum

'wali' sani nahin daud lekin

ghazal kahta hai har ek ba-talazum

sun nasīhat mirī ai zāhid-e-ḳhushk

ashk ke aab bin vuzū mat kar

sun nasihat meri ai zahid-e-KHushk

ashk ke aab bin wuzu mat kar

har kitāb-e-sohbat-e-rañgīñ ke ma.anī dekh kar

fard-e-tanhā.ī ke mazmūñ kuuñ kiyā huuñ intiḳhāb

har kitab-e-sohbat-e-rangin ke mani dekh kar

fard-e-tanhai ke mazmun kun kiya hun intiKHab
