paD gai kya luT yarab gulshan-e-ijad mein

paḌ ga.ī kyā luuT yārab gulshan-e-ījād meñ

dast-e-gul-chīñ meñ hai gul bulbul kaf-e-saiyād meñ

vipr apne kahāñ is gulshan ījād meñ

ye maza aage na thā bulbul tirī faryād meñ

dekh kar tasvīr shīrīñ ne ye hasrat se

kyā vāraftagī hai sūrat farhād meñ

meñ ġhāfil nahii. is se sanam bhī ek

bin ga.e haiñ sab ḳhudā kī yaad meñ

par mare TuuTe hue uḌ jaa.eñ sab so.e

ke haal dil hamārā kyā kisī kā dil

gayā hai sozish dil se asar faryād meñ

banvāne kī mutlaq nahii. hai

kī tasvīr kā ghar hai dil bahzād meñ

ḳhushiyāñ kaaro aa.ī hai ghar baiThe

kyā niklā gir lab mansūr se

use az ḳhud farāmoshī ḳhudā kī yaad meñ

qismat kaT ga.ī qaid qafas meñ apnī

se pahle hī thā mādūm apnā jism

is qadar taḌpā na mujh ko zer teġh

ga.e tum daam meñ ham gesū sayyād meñ

bhī aa.eñ gī jalne ko parvānoñ ke

gul hai charāġh ḳhāna sayyād meñ

ek din barbād hogā tund baad marg se

ham haiñ in kī yaad meñ vo haiñ hamārī yaad meñ

paD gai kya luT yarab gulshan-e-ijad mein

dast-e-gul-chin mein hai gul bulbul kaf-e-saiyaad mein

wipr apne kahan is gulshan ijad mein

ye maza aage na tha bulbul teri faryaad mein

dekh kar taswir shirin ne ye hasrat se

kya waraftagi hai surat farhad mein

mein ghafil nahi is se sanam bhi ek

bin gae hain sab KHuda ki yaad mein

par mare TuTe hue uD jaen sab soe

ke haal dil hamara kya kisi ka dil

gaya hai sozish dil se asar faryaad mein

banwane ki mutlaq nahi hai

ki taswir ka ghar hai dil bahzad mein

KHushiyan karo aai hai ghar baiThe

kya nikla gir lab mansur se

use az KHud faramoshi KHuda ki yaad mein

qismat kaT gai qaid qafas mein apni

se pahle hi tha madum apna jism

is qadar taDpa na mujh ko zer tegh

gae tum dam mein hum gesu sayyaad mein

bhi aaen gi jalne ko parwanon ke

gul hai charagh KHana sayyaad mein

ek din barbaad hoga tund baad marg se

hum hain in ki yaad mein wo hain hamari yaad mein
