vahshat-e-dil ne kiyā hai vo bayābāñ paidā
saikḌoñ kos nahīñ sūrat-e-insāñ paidā

sahar-e-vasl karegī shab-e-hijrāñ paidā
sulb-e-kāfir hī se hotā hai musalmāñ paidā

dil ke ā.īne meñ kar jauhar-e-pinhāñ paidā
dar-o-dīvār se ho sūrat-e-jānāñ paidā

ḳhaar dāman se ulajhte haiñ bahār aa.ī hai
chaak karne ko kiyā gul ne garebāñ paidā

nisbat us dast-e-nigārīñ se nahīñ kuchh is ko
ye kalā.ī to kare panja-e-marjāñ paidā

nashsha-e-mai meñ khulī dushmanī-e-dost mujhe
āb-e-añgūr ne kī ātish-e-pinhāñ paidā

baaġh sunsān na kar in ko pakaḌ kar sayyād
ba.ad muddat hue haiñ murġh-e-ḳhush-ilhāñ paidā

ab qadam se hai mire ḳhāna-e-zanjīr ābād
mujh ko vahshat ne kiyā silsila-jumbāñ paidā

ro ke āñkhoñ se nikālūñ meñ buḳhār-e-dil ko
kar chuke abr-e-mizha bhī kahīñ bārāñ paidā

na.ara-zan kunj-e-shahīdāñ meñ ho bulbul kī tarah
āb-e-āhan ne kiyā hai ye gulistāñ paidā

naqsh un kā na kisī la.al se lab par baiThā
mere muñh meñ hue the kis liye dandāñ paidā

ḳhauf nā-fahmī-e-mardum se mujhe aatā hai
gaav ḳhar hone lage sūrat-e-insāñ paidā

ruuh kī tarah se dāḳhil ho jo dīvāna hai
jism-e-ḳhākī samajh is ko jo ho zindāñ paidā

be-hijāboñ kā magar shahr hai aqlīm-e-adam
dekhtā huuñ jise hotā hai vo uryāñ paidā

ik gul aisā nahīñ hove na ḳhizāñ jis kī bahār
kaun se vaqt huā thā ye gulistāñ paidā

mojid us kī hai siyah-rozī hamārī 'ātish'
ham na hone to na hotī shab-e-hijrāñ paidā

wahshat-e-dil ne kiya hai wo bayaban paida
saikDon kos nahin surat-e-insan paida

sahar-e-wasl karegi shab-e-hijran paida
sulb-e-kafir hi se hota hai musalman paida

dil ke aaine mein kar jauhar-e-pinhan paida
dar-o-diwar se ho surat-e-jaanan paida

KHar daman se ulajhte hain bahaar aai hai
chaak karne ko kiya gul ne gareban paida

nisbat us dast-e-nigarin se nahin kuchh is ko
ye kalai to kare panja-e-marjaan paida

nashsha-e-mai mein khuli dushmani-e-dost mujhe
aab-e-angur ne ki aatish-e-pinhan paida

bagh sunsan na kar in ko pakaD kar sayyaad
baad muddat hue hain murgh-e-KHush-ilhan paida

ab qadam se hai mere KHana-e-zanjir aabaad
mujh ko wahshat ne kiya silsila-jumban paida

ro ke aankhon se nikalun mein buKHar-e-dil ko
kar chuke abr-e-mizha bhi kahin baran paida

nara-zan kunj-e-shahidan mein ho bulbul ki tarah
aab-e-ahan ne kiya hai ye gulistan paida

naqsh un ka na kisi lal se lab par baiTha
mere munh mein hue the kis liye dandan paida

KHauf na-fahmi-e-mardum se mujhe aata hai
gaw KHar hone lage surat-e-insan paida

ruh ki tarah se daKHil ho jo diwana hai
jism-e-KHaki samajh is ko jo ho zindan paida

be-hijabon ka magar shahr hai aqlim-e-adam
dekhta hun jise hota hai wo uryan paida

ek gul aisa nahin howe na KHizan jis ki bahaar
kaun se waqt hua tha ye gulistan paida

mojid us ki hai siyah-rozi hamari 'atish'
hum na hone to na hoti shab-e-hijran paida
