raunaqeñ ābādiyāñ kyā kyā chaman kī yaad haiñ
bū-e-gul kī tarah ham gulshan ke ḳhāna-zād haiñ

jalva-farmā.ī kā muzhda kis ne bhejā hai ki aaj
dīda-o-dil ham-digar sarf-e-mubārakbād haiñ

kis kī mizhgāñ ne hamāre saath kāvish kī shurūa
ḳhuun ke qatre ragoñ meñ nashtar-e-fassād haiñ

yaañ razā mahbūb kī manzūr-e-ḳhātir hai faqat
vasl ho yā hijr ho har amr meñ ham shaad haiñ

kar chukā 'aishī' tavāf-e-ḳhāna-e-ka.aba kā qasd
jab talak hindostāñ kā mai-kada ābād hai

raunaqen aabaadiyan kya kya chaman ki yaad hain
bu-e-gul ki tarah hum gulshan ke KHana-zad hain

jalwa-farmai ka muzhda kis ne bheja hai ki aaj
dida-o-dil ham-digar sarf-e-mubarakbaad hain

kis ki mizhgan ne hamare sath kawish ki shurua
KHun ke qatre ragon mein nashtar-e-fassad hain

yan raza mahbub ki manzur-e-KHatir hai faqat
wasl ho ya hijr ho har amr mein hum shad hain

kar chuka 'aishi' tawaf-e-KHana-e-kaba ka qasd
jab talak hindostan ka mai-kada aabaad hai
