uqābī shan se jhapTe the jo be-bāl-o-par nikle

uqābī shaan se jhapTe the jo be-bāl-o-par nikle

sitāre shaam ke ḳhūn-e-shafaq meñ Duub kar nikle

hue madfūn-e-dariyā zer-e-dariyā tairne vaale

tamāñche mauj ke khāte the jo ban kar guhar nikle

ġhubār-e-rahguzar haiñ kīmiyā par naaz thā jin ko

jabīneñ ḳhaak par rakhte the jo iksīr-gar nikle

hamārā narm-rau qāsid payām-e-zindagī laayā

ḳhabar detī thiiñ jin ko bijliyāñ vo be-ḳhabar nikle

haram rusvā huā pīr-e-haram kī kam-nigāhī se

javānān-e-tatārī kis qadar sāhab-nazar nikle

zamīñ se nūryān-e-āsmāñ-parvāz kahte the

ye ḳhākī zinda-tar pā.enda-tar tābinda-tar nikle

jahāñ meñ ahl-e-īmāñ sūrat-e-ḳhurshīd jiite haiñ

idhar Duube udhar nikle udhar Duube idhar nikle

uqābī shan se jhapTe the jo be-bāl-o-par nikle

sitāre sham ke ḳhūn-e-shafaq meñ Dub kar nikle

hue madfūn-e-dariyā zer-e-dariyā tairne wale

tamāñche mauj ke khāte the jo ban kar guhar nikle

ġhubār-e-rahguzar haiñ kīmiyā par naz thā jin ko

jabīneñ ḳhak par rakhte the jo iksīr-gar nikle

hamārā narm-rau qāsid payām-e-zindagī layā

ḳhabar detī thiñ jin ko bijliyāñ wo be-ḳhabar nikle
