ham to bas ik uqda the hal hone tak
zanjīroñ meñ band the pāgal hone tak
ishq agar hai diin to phir ho jā.eñge
ham bhī murtad is ke mukammal hone tak
maiñ paanī thā sūraj ghuur rahā thā mujhe
kyā kartā be-bas thā bādal hone tak
ab to ḳhair sarāb sī ḳhuub chamaktī hai
aañkh thī dariyā shahr ke jañgal hone tak
mujh meñ bhī thī tez sī ḳhushbū ma.anī kī
mahak rahā thā maiñ bhī mohmal hone tak
ab vo merī aañkh pe īmāñ laayā hai
dasht hī thā ye dil bhī jal-thal hone tak
jhiil kabhī tālāb kabhī dariyā thā kabhī
mere kyā kyā ruup the daldal hone tak
