jab tir-e-nazar dil pe mere yar ne mara

jab tīr-e-nazar dil pe mire yaar ne maarā

rag rag se sadā aa.ī mujhe pyaar ne maarā

ai husn-e-jahāñ-soz duhā.ī hai duhā.ī

us barq-e-nazar sho.ala-e-ruḳhsār ne maarā

duniyā to taḌaptī hai ġham-e-hijr meñ lekin

rag rag meñ samā kar mujhe dildār ne maarā

vaa.iz thī rihā.ī tirī inkār meñ tujh ko

nā-karda gunāhoñ ke bas iqrār ne maarā

duniyā meñ sabhī marte haiñ lekin zahe qismat

hai zinda-e-jāved jise yaar ne maarā

zāhid ko mubārak ye ibādat ye riyāzat

'kāvish' ko ruḳh-e-yār ke dīdār ne maarā

jab tir-e-nazar dil pe mere yar ne mara

rag rag se sada aai mujhe pyar ne mara

ai husn-e-jahan-soz duhai hai duhai

us barq-e-nazar shoala-e-ruKHsar ne mara

duniya to taDapti hai gham-e-hijr mein lekin

rag rag mein sama kar mujhe dildar ne mara

waiz thi rihai teri inkar mein tujh ko

na-karda gunahon ke bas iqrar ne mara

duniya mein sabhi marte hain lekin zahe qismat

hai zinda-e-jawed jise yar ne mara

zahid ko mubarak ye ibaadat ye riyazat

'kawish' ko ruKH-e-yar ke didar ne mara
