umañD rahī haiñ ghaTā.eñ ki zulf barham hai

chhalak rahā hai jo ḳhum hai ki aañkh pur-nam hai

nashāt-e-zīst mayassar nahīñ to kyā shikva

mujhe hayāt se baḌh kar hayāt kā ġham hai

phir aaj gardish-e-daurāñ se maat khaa.ī hai

bisāt-e-dil hī ulaT do ki hausla kam hai

Thahar na jaa.e kahīñ nabz-e-gardish-e-daurāñ

tirī nigāh-e-karam kā kuchh aur aalam hai

na shor-e-naġhma na raqs-e-subū na ḳhanda-e-gul

chaman meñ aaj nigār-e-chaman kā mātam hai
