jab vo mah-e-ruḳhsār yakāyak nazar aayā
us maah kī tal.at suuñ suraj dil meñ dar aayā
tere ruḳh-e-raushan kuuñ siyah ḳhat meñ sirījan
dekhā so kahā abr-e-siyah meñ qamar aayā
gulshan meñ chal ai sarv-e-sahī sair kī ḳhātir
tujh vāste le gul tabaq-e-naqd-e-zar aayā
tujh jām-e-nayan meñ hai ajab bāda-e-sarshār
yak diid satī jis ke ho dil be-ḳhabar aayā
muhtāj-e-kabūtar nahīñ mujh shauq kā naama
qāsid ho mirā dil le sajan kī ḳhabar aayā
kahte haiñ sab ahl-e-suḳhan is sher kuuñ sun kar
tujh tab.a meñ 'dā.ūd' 'valī' kā asar aayā
jab wo mah-e-ruKHsar yakayak nazar aaya
us mah ki talat sun suraj dil mein dar aaya
tere ruKH-e-raushan kun siyah KHat mein sirijan
dekha so kaha abr-e-siyah mein qamar aaya
gulshan mein chal ai sarw-e-sahi sair ki KHatir
tujh waste le gul tabaq-e-naqd-e-zar aaya
tujh jam-e-nayan mein hai ajab baada-e-sarshaar
yak did sati jis ke ho dil be-KHabar aaya
muhtaj-e-kabutar nahin mujh shauq ka nama
qasid ho mera dil le sajan ki KHabar aaya
kahte hain sab ahl-e-suKHan is sher kun sun kar
tujh taba mein 'daud' 'wali' ka asar aaya
