husn ne maan liyā qābil-e-tāzīr mujhe

nazar aa.ī hai mohabbat kī ye taqsīr mujhe

kyuuñ na ho bāda-e-sar-josh kī tauqīr mujhe

mil ga.ī pīr-e-ḳharābāt se tahrīr mujhe

jalva-e-husn ke mafhūm pe jab ġhaur kiyā

ek dhundlī sī nazar aa.ī hai tasvīr mujhe

ab mirī vahshat-e-rusvā kā ajab aalam hai

kar diyā aap ne vābasta-e-zanjīr mujhe

be-takalluf ruḳh-e-zebā se uThā.e vo naqāb

husn ḳhud pā.egā ek paikar-e-tasvīr mujhe

zindagī ik na.e aalam meñ nazar aatī hai

le chalī aaj kahāñ gardish-e-taqdīr mujhe

khich ga.ī dil-kashī-e-husn marī nazroñ meñ

jī bahalne ko milī aap kī tasvīr mujhe

zulf-e-shab-gūñ ruḳh-e-anvar kī satā.ish ko sivā

koī mazmūn na milā qābil-e-tahrīr mujhe

husn-e-dilkash ke talavvun pe nazar jab pahuñchī

na rahā phir gila-e-gardish-e-taqdīr mujhe
