aañkh jo ishva-e-pur-kār liye phirtī hai

muzhda-e-tāle-e-bedār liye phirtī hai

naam se daad bhī miltī hai suḳhan ko aksar

charḳh par shohrat-e-fankār liye phirtī hai

ḳhaak se phuul nikalte haiñ mahaktā hai chaman

kyā zamīñ tabla-e-attār liye phirtī hai

koī mahfil bhī nahīñ jo na ho tā.īd-talab

dar-ba-dar jur.at-e-inkār liye phirtī hai

ban ga.ī parda-nashīñ khīñch ke palkoñ ke hisār

ham ko lekin nigah-e-yār liye phirtī hai

pheñk kar ḳhaak meñ aqdār ko tahqīr ke saath

zindagī dirham-o-dīnār liye phirtī hai
