tirā husn hai vo sahbā ki koī misāl kyā de
kabhī tishnagī bujhā de kabhī tishnagī baḌhā de

ye jahāñ hai ik tamāsha koī dost hai na dushman
vahī aag raushnī de vahī āshiyāñ jalā de

ye tarīq-e-dilbarī hai ki adā-e-dil-navāzī
kisī jurm par navāze kisī jurm par sazā de

abhī zulmat-e-ḳhirad meñ hai vafā kī tābnākī
ye charāġh bujh na jaa.e koī is kī lau baḌhā de

ye qadam qadam pe zulmat ye ravish ravish añdhere
mirī be-ḳhudī kahāñ hai mujhe rāsta batā de

ye tasavvur-e-rihā.ī rahe kyuuñ nazar meñ 'gauhar'
mujhe qaid karne vaale mire bāl-o-par jalā de

tera husn hai wo sahba ki koi misal kya de
kabhi tishnagi bujha de kabhi tishnagi baDha de

ye jahan hai ek tamasha koi dost hai na dushman
wahi aag raushni de wahi aashiyan jala de

ye tariq-e-dilbari hai ki ada-e-dil-nawazi
kisi jurm par nawaze kisi jurm par saza de

abhi zulmat-e-KHirad mein hai wafa ki tabnaki
ye charagh bujh na jae koi is ki lau baDha de

ye qadam qadam pe zulmat ye rawish rawish andhere
meri be-KHudi kahan hai mujhe rasta bata de

ye tasawwur-e-rihai rahe kyun nazar mein 'gauhar'
mujhe qaid karne wale mere baal-o-par jala de
