hai misr meñ shohrā terī shīrīñ-dahnī kā
dam band laboñ se hai 'aqīq-e-yamanī kā
tū qasd karegā na mirī dil-shikanī kā
hai paas barābar tujhe muhtāj-o-ġhanī kā
tārāj kiyā kishvar-e-dil terī nigah ne
lapkā na sipāhī ko paḌe rāh-zanī kā
munsif ho agar dīda-e-insāf se dekhe
gul naam na le aage tire gul-badanī kā
khul jāvegā zuhhād pe rindoñ kā taqaddus
mausam to qarīb aane do tauba-shikanī kā
mizhgāñ tirī phir karne lagīñ ḳhuun diloñ kā
aañ turkoñ ko phir shauq huā ārā-zanī kā
yād-e-durr-e-dandāñ meñ ga.ī jaan mirī 'rind'
taqdīr ne kushta kiyā hiire kī kanī kā
hai misr mein shohra teri shirin-dahni ka
dam band labon se hai 'aqiq-e-yamani ka
tu qasd karega na meri dil-shikani ka
hai pas barabar tujhe muhtaj-o-ghani ka
taraj kiya kishwar-e-dil teri nigah ne
lapka na sipahi ko paDe rah-zani ka
munsif ho agar dida-e-insaf se dekhe
gul nam na le aage tere gul-badani ka
khul jawega zuhhad pe rindon ka taqaddus
mausam to qarib aane do tauba-shikani ka
mizhgan teri phir karne lagin KHun dilon ka
aan turkon ko phir shauq hua aara-zani ka
yaad-e-durr-e-dandan mein gai jaan meri 'rind'
taqdir ne kushta kiya hire ki kani ka
