wasl hai par dil mein ab tak zauq-e-gham pechida hai

vasl hai par dil meñ ab tak zauq-e-ġham pechīda hai

bulbula hai ain dariyā meñ magar nam-dīda hai

dil kī vo vus'at ki nuqte se bhī kam saat āsmāñ

jism ye lāġhar ḳhatt-e-vahmī se jo kāhīda hai

dījiye kis chiiz se tashbīh tere husn ko

ek tuuhī diida hai tere sivā nādīda hai

be-hijābī ye ki har sūrat meñ jalva āshakār

ghūñgaT is par vo ki sūrat aaj tak nādīda hai

itne but-ḳhānoñ meñ sajde ek ka.aba ke 'evaz

kufr to islām se baḌh kar tirā girvīda hai

dam-ba-ḳhud rahne do kyuuñ rusvā ho mujh ko chheḌ kar

ġhair dariyā bulbule meñ aur kyā poshīda hai

aadmī kī sar-kashī ġhaflat hai apnī asal se

zauq-e-sajda qatra-e-uftāda meñ pechīda hai

hashr meñ muñh pher kar kahnā kisī kā haaye haaye

‘āsī-e-gustākH kā har jurm nā-bakHshīda hai

wasl hai par dil mein ab tak zauq-e-gham pechida hai

bulbula hai ain dariya mein magar nam-dida hai

dil ki wo wus'at ki nuqte se bhi kam sat aasman

jism ye laghar KHatt-e-wahmi se jo kahida hai

dijiye kis chiz se tashbih tere husn ko

ek tuhi dida hai tere siwa nadida hai

be-hijabi ye ki har surat mein jalwa aashakar

ghungaT is par wo ki surat aaj tak nadida hai

itne but-KHanon mein sajde ek kaba ke 'ewaz

kufr to islam se baDh kar tera girwida hai

dam-ba-KHud rahne do kyun ruswa ho mujh ko chheD kar

ghair dariya bulbule mein aur kya poshida hai

aadmi ki sar-kashi ghaflat hai apni asal se

zauq-e-sajda qatra-e-uftada mein pechida hai

hashr mein munh pher kar kahna kisi ka haye haye

‘asi-e-gustakH ka har jurm na-bakHshida hai
