gul ke hone kī tavaqqo pe jiye baiThī hai
har kalī jaan ko muTThī meñ liye baiThī hai

kabhī sayyād kā khaTkā hai kabhī ḳhauf-e-ḳhizāñ
bulbul ab jaan hathelī pe liye baiThī hai

tīr-o-shamshīr se baḌh kar hai tirī tirchhī nigāh
saikḌoñ āshiqoñ kā ḳhuun kiye baiThī hai

tere ruḳhsār se tashbīh use duuñ kyūñkar
sham.a to charbī ko āñkhoñ meñ diye baiThī hai

tishna-lab kyuuñ rahe ai sāqī-e-kausar 'chandā'
ye tire jām-e-mohabbat ko piye baiThī hai

gul ke hone ki tawaqqo pe jiye baiThi hai
har kali jaan ko muTThi mein liye baiThi hai

kabhi sayyaad ka khaTka hai kabhi KHauf-e-KHizan
bulbul ab jaan hatheli pe liye baiThi hai

tir-o-shamshir se baDh kar hai teri tirchhi nigah
saikDon aashiqon ka KHun kiye baiThi hai

tere ruKHsar se tashbih use dun kyunkar
shama to charbi ko aankhon mein diye baiThi hai

tishna-lab kyun rahe ai saqi-e-kausar 'chanda'
ye tere jam-e-mohabbat ko piye baiThi hai
