naḳhvat-e-husn pasand aa.ī hai dīvāne ko
sar-kashī sham.a kī manzūr hai parvāne ko

dekhiye kaun sī jā yaar kā miltā hai pata
koī ka.abe ko chalā hai koī but-ḳhāne ko

terī furqat meñ tasavvur hai ye bedardī kā
ḳhvāb ham jānte haiñ niiñd ke aa jaane ko

kaam aa jaatī hai ham-bazmī bhī raushan dil kī
sham.a ham-rañg banā letī hai parvāne ko

gul pe bulbul thā kahīñ sham.a pe parvāna thā
ham ne har rañg meñ dekhā tire dīvāne ko

vā-shud-e-dil na huī ġhuncha-e-ḳhātir na khilā
kaun se baaġh meñ aa.e the havā khāne ko

maiñ ne jab vādī-e-ġhurbat meñ qadam rakkhā thā
duur tak yād-e-vatan aa.ī thī samjhāne ko

naKHwat-e-husn pasand aai hai diwane ko
sar-kashi shama ki manzur hai parwane ko

dekhiye kaun si ja yar ka milta hai pata
koi kabe ko chala hai koi but-KHane ko

teri furqat mein tasawwur hai ye bedardi ka
KHwab hum jaante hain nind ke aa jaane ko

kaam aa jati hai ham-bazmi bhi raushan dil ki
shama ham-rang bana leti hai parwane ko

gul pe bulbul tha kahin shama pe parwana tha
hum ne har rang mein dekha tere diwane ko

wa-shud-e-dil na hui ghuncha-e-KHatir na khila
kaun se bagh mein aae the hawa khane ko

main ne jab wadi-e-ghurbat mein qadam rakkha tha
dur tak yaad-e-watan aai thi samjhane ko
