shahr-e-gul ke ḳhas-o-ḳhāshāk se ḳhauf aatā hai
jis kā vāris huuñ usī ḳhaak se ḳhauf aatā hai

shakl banñe nahīñ paatī ki bigaḌ jaatī hai
na.ī miTTī ko na.e chaak se ḳhauf aatā hai

vaqt ne aise ghumā.e ufuq āfāq ki bas
mehvar-e-gardish-e-saffāk se ḳhauf aatā hai

yahī lahja thā ki meyār-e-suḳhan Thahrā thā
ab isī lahja-e-be-bāk se ḳhauf aatā hai

aag jab aag se miltī hai to lau detī hai
ḳhaak ko ḳhaak kī poshāk se ḳhauf aatā hai

qāmat-e-jāñ ko ḳhush aayā thā kabhī ḳhil.at-e-ishq
ab isī jāma-e-sad-chāk se ḳhauf aatā hai

kabhī aflāk se nāloñ ke javāb aate the
in dinoñ ālam-e-aflāk se ḳhauf aatā hai

rahmat-e-sayyad-e-laulāk pe kāmil īmān
ummat-e-sayyad-e-laulāk se ḳhauf aatā hai

shahr-e-gul ke KHas-o-KHashak se KHauf aata hai
jis ka waris hun usi KHak se KHauf aata hai

shakl banne nahin pati ki bigaD jati hai
nai miTTi ko nae chaak se KHauf aata hai

waqt ne aise ghumae ufuq aafaq ki bas
mehwar-e-gardish-e-saffak se KHauf aata hai

yahi lahja tha ki meyar-e-suKHan Thahra tha
ab isi lahja-e-be-bak se KHauf aata hai

aag jab aag se milti hai to lau deti hai
KHak ko KHak ki poshak se KHauf aata hai

qamat-e-jaan ko KHush aaya tha kabhi KHilat-e-ishq
ab isi jama-e-sad-chaak se KHauf aata hai

kabhi aflak se nalon ke jawab aate the
in dinon aalam-e-aflak se KHauf aata hai

rahmat-e-sayyad-e-laulak pe kaamil iman
ummat-e-sayyad-e-laulak se KHauf aata hai
