tur wale teri tanwir liye baiThe hain

tuur vaale tirī tanvīr liye baiThe haiñ

ham tujhī ko but-e-be-pīr liye baiThe haiñ

jigar o dil kī na pūchho jigar o dil mere

nigah-e-nāz ke do tiir liye baiThe haiñ

in ke gesū dil-e-ushshāq phañsāne ke liye

jā-ba-jā halqa-e-zanjīr liye baiThe haiñ

ai tirī shaan ki qatroñ meñ hai dariyā jaarī

zarre ḳhurshīd kī tanvīr liye baiThe haiñ

phir vo kyā chiiz hai jo dil meñ utar jaatī hai

teġh paas un ke na vo tiir liye baiThe haiñ

mai-e-ishrat se bhare jaate haiñ aġhyār ke jaam

ham tahī kāsa-e-taqdīr liye baiThe haiñ

kishvar-o-’ishq meñ muhtāj kahāñ haiñ 'bedam'

qais-o-farhād kī jāgīr liye baiThe haiñ

tur wale teri tanwir liye baiThe hain

hum tujhi ko but-e-be-pir liye baiThe hain

jigar o dil ki na puchho jigar o dil mere

nigah-e-naz ke do tir liye baiThe hain

in ke gesu dil-e-ushshaq phansane ke liye

ja-ba-ja halqa-e-zanjir liye baiThe hain

ai teri shan ki qatron mein hai dariya jari

zarre KHurshid ki tanwir liye baiThe hain

phir wo kya chiz hai jo dil mein utar jati hai

tegh pas un ke na wo tir liye baiThe hain

mai-e-ishrat se bhare jate hain aghyar ke jam

hum tahi kasa-e-taqdir liye baiThe hain

kishwar-o-’ishq mein muhtaj kahan hain 'bedam'

qais-o-farhad ki jagir liye baiThe hain
