mire sayyād ko bā-vasf-e-asīrī hai ye ḳhauf

maiñ qafas meñ bhī banā lūñgā gulistāñ koī

mere sayyaad ko ba-wasf-e-asiri hai ye KHauf

main qafas mein bhi bana lunga gulistan koi

is qadar yaad hai bas ishq kī rūdād 'hayāt'

jaise dekhā thā kabhī ḳhvāb-e-pareshāñ koī

is qadar yaad hai bas ishq ki rudad 'hayat'

jaise dekha tha kabhi KHwab-e-pareshan koi

shīshe meñ hasīñ bāda-e-gul-fām hasīñ hai

mai-ḳhāna-e-islām kā har jaam hasīñ hai

shishe mein hasin baada-e-gul-fam hasin hai

mai-KHana-e-islam ka har jam hasin hai

zulfoñ kā tasavvur salāmoñ kī hai bārish

majbūr ġham-e-ishq kī har shaam hasīñ hai

zulfon ka tasawwur salamon ki hai barish

majbur gham-e-ishq ki har sham hasin hai
