zer-e-lab rahā naala dard kī davā ho kar
aah ne sukūñ baḳhshā āh-e-nā-rasā ho kar

kar diyā ta.ayyun se zauq-e-ijz ko āzād
naqsh-e-sajda ne mere terā naqsh-e-pā ho kar

fart-e-ġham se behis huuñ ġham hai ġham na hone kā
dard kar diyā paidā dard ne davā ho kar

ho chuke haiñ sil baazū hai na himmat-e-parvāz
ham rihā na ho paa.e qaid se rihā ho kar

hasrateñ nikaltī haiñ merī jaan jaatī hai
dam laboñ pe aatā hai harf-e-mudda.ā ho kar

ġham pe ġham mujhe de kar ġham se kar diyā mahrūm
kyā milā zamāne ko sabr-āzmā ho kar

ranj-e-aish hai baaqī ab na aish-e-ġham 'tābish'
kuchh ḳhabar nahīñ mujh ko rah gayā huuñ kyā ho kar

zer-e-lab raha nala dard ki dawa ho kar
aah ne sukun baKHsha aah-e-na-rasa ho kar

kar diya tayyun se zauq-e-ijz ko aazad
naqsh-e-sajda ne mere tera naqsh-e-pa ho kar

fart-e-gham se behis hun gham hai gham na hone ka
dard kar diya paida dard ne dawa ho kar

ho chuke hain sil bazu hai na himmat-e-parwaz
hum riha na ho pae qaid se riha ho kar

hasraten nikalti hain meri jaan jati hai
dam labon pe aata hai harf-e-muddaa ho kar

gham pe gham mujhe de kar gham se kar diya mahrum
kya mila zamane ko sabr-azma ho kar

ranj-e-aish hai baqi ab na aish-e-gham 'tabish'
kuchh KHabar nahin mujh ko rah gaya hun kya ho kar
