sitam ke ba.ad karam kī adā bhī ḳhuub rahī
jafā to ḳhair jafā thī vafā bhī ḳhuub rahī
ba-faiz-e-gardish-e-daurāñ unheñ bhī pyaar aayā
ba-pās-e-maslahat un kī razā bhī ḳhuub rahī
ba-sad-ḳhulūs qanā.at kī daad miltī hai
gadā-navāzī-e-ahl-e-saḳhā bhī ḳhuub rahī
lagī hai mohr muqaddar kī daane daane par
ye ḳhush-mazāqī-e-shān-e-ḳhudā bhī ḳhuub rahī
kahīñ shikam ke taqāze nazar nahīñ aate
charāġh-e-dair-o-haram kī ziyā bhī ḳhuub rahī
hamāre haath se aatī hai bū-e-pairāhan
hamāre husn-e-talab kī adā bhī ḳhuub rahī
