shu’ur-e-mai-kada pate to aate

shu’ūr-e-mai-kada paate to aate

jo zāhid ḳhud se Takrāte to aate

na kuchh jazbāt dil ke lab pe aa.e

na ro.ab-e-husn meñ aate to aate

na aa.e qais-e-mashrab gulistāñ meñ

jo sahrā sā sukūñ paate to aate

zamīñ par āsmāñ se chāñd taare

ishāra aap kā paate to aate

na aa.e un ko ādāb-e-mohabbat

hamārī bazm meñ aate to aate

vo ḳhud meñ an-chuā sā husn Thahre

hamārā 'ishq ban jaate to aate

tumhāre paas ā.īna thā 'amjad'

tum us ko us se milvāte to aate

shu’ur-e-mai-kada pate to aate

jo zahid KHud se Takraate to aate

na kuchh jazbaat dil ke lab pe aae

na roab-e-husn mein aate to aate

na aae qais-e-mashrab gulistan mein

jo sahra sa sukun pate to aate

zamin par aasman se chand tare

ishaara aap ka pate to aate

na aae un ko aadab-e-mohabbat

hamari bazm mein aate to aate

wo KHud mein an-chua sa husn Thahre

hamara 'ishq ban jate to aate

tumhaare pas aaina tha 'amjad'

tum us ko us se milwate to aate
