bikhere zulf ruḳh par kaun ye bālā-e-bām aayā
ḳhayāloñ kī fazā mahkī bahāroñ kā payām aayā
mizāj-e-yār meñ jab bhī ḳhayāl-e-intiqām aayā
sar-e-fihrist apnā hī gunahgāroñ meñ naam aayā
ajab hañgāma dekhā ham ne saaqī terī mahfil meñ
koī tishna-dahan uTThā koī chhalkā ke jaam aayā
girāñ-koshī meñ afrāzī tan-āsānī meñ pāmālī
mashaqqat suraḳh-rū uTThī tasāhul zer-e-dām aayā
zuhūr-e-sair-chashmī hī dalīl-e-kāmrānī hai
mirā pindār-e-nā-āsūdgī hī mere kaam aayā
ye misra de diyā iqbāl kā kis shoḳh-fitrat ne
samand fikr ke aage 'ziyā' mushkil maqām aayā
