ai aks-e-jamal-e-lam-yazali ai sham-e’-tajalla kya kahna

ai 'aks-e-jamāl-e-lam-yazalī ai sham-e’-tajallā kyā kahnā

ai nūr-e-hijābāt-e-fitrat ai husn-e-sarāpā kyā kahnā

ye sahr ye fitna ye jaadū ye nāz-o-karishma kyā kahnā

āñkhoñ meñ raho har dam merī phir aañkh se parda kyā kahnā

aa jaa.e sarāpā āñkhoñ meñ ḳhud sāmne jalva raqs kare

us 'ishq kī manzil kyā kahnā us 'ishq kā sajda kyā kahnā

shābāsh jabīn-e-shauq tujhe sad āfrīñ ai jazb-e-kāmil

taḌpā diyā us ke jalvoñ ko be-tāb nazāra kyā kahnā

bīmār kiyā lazzat baḳhshī jo ḳhud ho davā vo dard diyā

ai chāra-gar bazm-e-hastī ai rashk-e-masīhā kyā kahnā

ḳhud fart-e-'aqīdat se lab par 'manzūr' ye kalima aatā hai

thāme jo tumhār dāman ko us baḳht-e-rasā kā kyā kahnā

ai 'aks-e-jamal-e-lam-yazali ai sham-e’-tajalla kya kahna

ai nur-e-hijabaat-e-fitrat ai husn-e-sarapa kya kahna

ye sahr ye fitna ye jadu ye naz-o-karishma kya kahna

aankhon mein raho har dam meri phir aankh se parda kya kahna

aa jae sarapa aankhon mein KHud samne jalwa raqs kare

us 'ishq ki manzil kya kahna us 'ishq ka sajda kya kahna

shabash jabin-e-shauq tujhe sad aafrin ai jazb-e-kaamil

taDpa diya us ke jalwon ko be-tab nazara kya kahna

bimar kiya lazzat baKHshi jo KHud ho dawa wo dard diya

ai chaara-gar bazm-e-hasti ai rashk-e-masiha kya kahna

KHud fart-e-'aqidat se lab par 'manzur' ye kalima aata hai

thame jo tumhaar daman ko us baKHt-e-rasa ka kya kahna
