ek danish-e-nurani ek danish-e-burhani

ik dānish-e-nūrānī ik dānish-e-burhānī

hai dānish-e-burhānī hairat kī farāvānī

is paikar-e-ḳhākī meñ ik shai hai so vo terī

mere liye mushkil hai is shai kī nigahbānī

ab kiyā jo fuġhāñ merī pahuñchī hai sitāroñ tak

tū ne hī sikhā.ī thī mujh ko ye ġhazal-ḳhvānī

ho naqsh agar bātil takrār se kyā hāsil

kyā tujh ko ḳhush aatī hai aadam kī ye arzānī

mujh ko to sikhā dī hai afrañg ne zindīqī

is daur ke mullā haiñ kyuuñ nañg-e-musalmānī

taqdīr-e-shikan quvvat baaqī hai abhī is meñ

nādāñ jise kahte haiñ taqdīr kā zindānī

tere bhī sanam ḳhāne mere bhī sanam ḳhāne

donoñ ke sanam ḳhākī donoñ ke sanam faanī

ek danish-e-nurani ek danish-e-burhani

hai danish-e-burhani hairat ki farawani

is paikar-e-KHaki mein ek shai hai so wo teri

mere liye mushkil hai is shai ki nigahbani

ab kiya jo fughan meri pahunchi hai sitaron tak

tu ne hi sikhai thi mujh ko ye ghazal-KHwani

ho naqsh agar baatil takrar se kya hasil

kya tujh ko KHush aati hai aadam ki ye arzani

mujh ko to sikha di hai afrang ne zindiqi

is daur ke mulla hain kyun nang-e-musalmani

taqdir-e-shikan quwwat baqi hai abhi is mein

nadan jise kahte hain taqdir ka zindani

tere bhi sanam KHane mere bhi sanam KHane

donon ke sanam KHaki donon ke sanam fani
