sabr ḳhud uktā gayā achchhā huā
kuchh to bojh ehsās kā halkā huā

vo ġhurūr-e-hosh-mandī kyā huā
jo qadam paḌtā hai vo bahkā huā

chheḌ baiThā vaqt apnī rāgnī
saaz par jab aap kā qabza huā

tak rahā hai ḳhud unhī kī anjuman
fitna fitna un kā chauñkāyā huā

ruup badlā hai sahar kā raat ne
dekhne vaalo tumheñ dhokā huā

kar rahe ho kis se tum zikr-e-chaman
ġhuncha ġhuncha hai mirā dekhā huā

aap kaj-rau haiñ ki sab kaj-fahm haiñ
hal baḌī mushkil se ye uqda huā

maslahat 'yāqūb' kyuuñ hai dam-ba-ḳhud
raaz kis kī bazm kā ifshā huā

sabr KHud ukta gaya achchha hua
kuchh to bojh ehsas ka halka hua

wo ghurur-e-hosh-mandi kya hua
jo qadam paDta hai wo bahka hua

chheD baiTha waqt apni ragni
saz par jab aap ka qabza hua

tak raha hai KHud unhi ki anjuman
fitna fitna un ka chaunkaya hua

rup badla hai sahar ka raat ne
dekhne walo tumhein dhoka hua

kar rahe ho kis se tum zikr-e-chaman
ghuncha ghuncha hai mera dekha hua

aap kaj-rau hain ki sab kaj-fahm hain
hal baDi mushkil se ye uqda hua

maslahat 'yaqub' kyun hai dam-ba-KHud
raaz kis ki bazm ka ifsha hua
