dil mirā sāġhar-e-shikāyat hai
zahr-e-ġham bas ki be-nihāyat hai
vo bhaveñ mujh pe kyuuñ na zulm kareñ
chashm-e-ḳhūñ-rez kī himāyat hai
dev mujhe laakh daam kī jāgīr
zulf kholo baḌī ri.āyat hai
naqd-e-dīdār bul-havas kuuñ na dev
is meñ sarkār kī kifāyat hai
be-gunāhoñ kuuñ qatl karne par
muftī-e-nāz kī rivāyat hai
haikal-e-laḳht-e-dil meñ harf-e-vafā
murshid-e-ishq kī ināyat hai
sham.a-rū sun bayān-e-soz-e-'sirāj'
ki ajab dard kī hikāyat hai
