’uqabi shan se jhapTe the jo be-baal-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

’uqabi shan se jhapTe the jo be-baal-o-par nikle

sitare sham ke KHun-e-shafaq mein Dub kar nikle

hue madfun-e-dariya zer-e-dariya tairne wale

tamanche mauj ke khate the jo ban kar guhar nikle

ghubar-e-rahguzar hain kimiya par naz tha jin ko

jabinen KHak par rakhte the jo iksir-gar nikle

hamara narm-rau qasid payam-e-zindagi laya

KHabar deti thin jin ko bijliyan wo be-KHabar nikle

haram ruswa hua pir-e-haram ki kam-nigahi se

jawanan-e-tatari kis qadar sahab-nazar nikle

zamin se nuryan-e-asman-parwaz kahte the

ye KHaki zinda-tar paenda-tar tabinda-tar nikle

jahan mein ahl-e-iman surat-e-KHurshid jite hain

idhar Dube udhar nikle udhar Dube idhar nikle
