miTā ke tīrgī tanvīr chāhtā hai dil
har ek ḳhvāb kī ta.abīr chāhtā hai dil

jise sambhāl ke rakh le zamāna yādoñ meñ
vo apnī zaat kī tasvīr chāhtā hai dil

maiñ apne aap se jab jab savāl kartā huuñ
mire javāb meñ tāsīr chāhtā hai dil

suḳhan payām ho duniyā ke vāste koī
diloñ ke vāste taqrīr chāhtā hai dil

na chāhtā hai ki tīr-o-kamāñ kī baat karūñ
na apne haath meñ shamshīr chāhtā hai dil

tumheñ se raunaqeñ qaa.em haiñ bazm-e-hastī kī
tumhāre pyaar kī jāgīr chāhtā hai dil

vo jis pe rashk kare har koī zamāne meñ
qalam kī shoḳhi-e-tahrīr chāhtā hai dil

miTa ke tirgi tanwir chahta hai dil
har ek KHwab ki tabir chahta hai dil

jise sambhaal ke rakh le zamana yaadon mein
wo apni zat ki taswir chahta hai dil

main apne aap se jab jab sawal karta hun
mere jawab mein tasir chahta hai dil

suKHan payam ho duniya ke waste koi
dilon ke waste taqrir chahta hai dil

na chahta hai ki tir-o-kaman ki baat karun
na apne hath mein shamshir chahta hai dil

tumhein se raunaqen qaem hain bazm-e-hasti ki
tumhaare pyar ki jagir chahta hai dil

wo jis pe rashk kare har koi zamane mein
qalam ki shoKHi-e-tahrir chahta hai dil
