Ru-e-KHandan rag-e-jaan dida-e-giryan jaise

ru-e-KHandan rag-e-jaan dida-e-giryan jaise
qafas-e-rang hai ye aalam-e-imkan jaise

nashsha-e-sher uDae liye jata hai mujhe
jaise rahwar-e-saba taKHt-e-sulaiman jaise

aarzu hi se hai hangama-e-alam sara
aarzu hi se hai dil tiflak-e-nadan jaise

aanch bhi aati hai KHush-pairahni se aksar
kahin roidagi-e-shoala ho pinhan jaise

sham-e-tanhai kalid-e-dar-e-nazzara hai
jaise mizhgan-e-siyah abru-e-jaanan jaise

harf-e-sada waraq-e-nam suKHan-e-KHud-rafta
dil hai ya mir-taqi-'mir' ka diwan jaise

be-rawa be-sar-o-pa ek alam-nak sada
zindagi qafila-e-sham-e-ghariban jaise

buDhe bargad ke tale soch mein gum mard-e-faqir
aane wala hai kahin se koi tufan jaise
