le ke dil kahte ho ulfat kyā hai

husn vaalo ye sharārat kyā hai

ik uchaTtī sī taġhāful kī nigāh

hīla-e-arz-e-mohabbat kyā hai

ḳhud hī nādim huuñ vafā par apnī

us tabassum kī zarūrat kyā hai

mujh ko bohtān-e-havas bhī manzūr

kaun samjhegā haqīqat kyā hai

nikhat-o-nūr ke sāñsoñ kā kamāñ

varna tū kyā mirī sūrat kyā hai

qāmat-e-yār kī bigḌī huī shakl

fitna-e-roz-e-qayāmat kyā hai

kis kī himmat ki tujhe saath lagā.e

tū ba-juz mauj-e-latāfat kyā hai

rabt mahsūs kī uljhan ke sivā

aap kā jazba-e-nafrat kyā hai

ashk-e-ġham buuñd hai paanī kī magar

ye bhī ma.alūm hai qīmat kyā hai

dāman-e-nāz kī jhāḌī huī gard

aur insāñ kī haqīqat kyā hai

maiñ ki ik gauhar-e-ālūda-e-ḳhāk

kuchh na samjhā mirī qīmat kyā hai

tālib-e-dād-e-suḳhan kyuuñ ho 'nisār'

aap ke sher meñ jiddat kyā hai
