har gul-e-tāza hamāre haath par bai.at kare
us kī zulfoñ tak pahuñchne ke liye minnat kare

dil bachā.e yā sarāhe ātish-e-ruḳhsār ko
jis kā ghar jaltā ho vo sho.aloñ kī kyā mid.hat kare

aam ke phūloñ ko ḳhud hī jhaaḌ de aur is ke ba.ad
be-samar shāḳhoñ se āvāra havā hujjat kare

shahr vāloñ ko bhī hājat hai anājoñ kī magar
ḳhush-libāsī mausam-e-barsāt par la.anat kare

yuuñ bahāne se chhupā luuñ apne ashkoñ ko magar
aañkh kī surḳhī dil-e-pur-dard kī ġhībat kare

ḳhuun ke do chaar qatre dil meñ haiñ baaqī 'zahīr'
dashna-e-mizhgāñ se kah do ik zarā zahmat kare

har gul-e-taza hamare hath par baiat kare
us ki zulfon tak pahunchne ke liye minnat kare

dil bachae ya sarahe aatish-e-ruKHsar ko
jis ka ghar jalta ho wo shoalon ki kya midhat kare

aam ke phulon ko KHud hi jhaD de aur is ke baad
be-samar shaKHon se aawara hawa hujjat kare

shahr walon ko bhi hajat hai anajon ki magar
KHush-libasi mausam-e-barsat par lanat kare

yun bahane se chhupa lun apne ashkon ko magar
aankh ki surKHi dil-e-pur-dard ki ghibat kare

KHun ke do chaar qatre dil mein hain baqi 'zahir'
dashna-e-mizhgan se kah do ek zara zahmat kare
