hamari ghazlon hamare sheron se tumko ye aagahi milegi

hamārī ġhazloñ hamāre sheroñ se tum ko ye āgahī milegī

kahāñ kahāñ kārvāñ luTe haiñ kahāñ kahāñ raushnī milegī

jahāñ mileñge butoñ ke hoñToñ pe yuuñ to gahrī hañsī milegī

magar ba-bātin ḳhulūs o shā.istagī meñ vāzeh kamī milegī

usī samay ham ne un ko Tokā thā bāġhbāñ jab ye kah rahe the

bahār aate hī jī uThegā chaman na.ī zindagī milegī

sambhal sambhal kar qadam baḌhāte haiñ is tarah maslahat ke pairav

ki jaise sikke kī tarah raste meñ kāmyābī paḌī milegī

hameñ satā kar jo haiñ pashemān dil meñ shāyad vo bach bhī jaa.eñ

hameñ satā kar jo mutma.in haiñ unheñ sazā lāzmī milegī

bhare hue sāġhar o subū meñ sharāb bhar pā.egā na saaqī

to phir ġharīqān-e-aish-o-ishrat ko ḳhaak āsūdgī milegī

nahīñ hai insāniyat ke baare meñ aaj bhī zehn saaf jin kā

vo kah rahe haiñ ki jis se nekī karoge us se badī milegī

ġham-e-mohabbat ke ba.ad aatī hai sarhad-e-iltifāt-e-jānāñ

sharāb kī talḳhiyāñ sahoge to lazzat-e-be-ḳhudī milegī

ye bad-gumānān-e-anjuman 'shād' kis liye jaan kho rahe haiñ

naqāb uThāne ke ba.ad bhī us nigāh meñ barhamī milegī

hamari ghazlon hamare sheron se tum ko ye aagahi milegi

kahan kahan karwan luTe hain kahan kahan raushni milegi

jahan milenge buton ke honTon pe yun to gahri hansi milegi

magar ba-baatin KHulus o shaistagi mein wazeh kami milegi

usi samay hum ne un ko Toka tha baghban jab ye kah rahe the

bahaar aate hi ji uThega chaman nai zindagi milegi

sambhal sambhal kar qadam baDhate hain is tarah maslahat ke pairaw

ki jaise sikke ki tarah raste mein kaamyabi paDi milegi

hamein sata kar jo hain pasheman dil mein shayad wo bach bhi jaen

hamein sata kar jo mutmain hain unhen saza lazmi milegi

bhare hue saghar o subu mein sharab bhar paega na saqi

to phir ghariqan-e-aish-o-ishrat ko KHak aasudgi milegi

nahin hai insaniyat ke bare mein aaj bhi zehn saf jin ka

wo kah rahe hain ki jis se neki karoge us se badi milegi

gham-e-mohabbat ke baad aati hai sarhad-e-iltifat-e-jaanan

sharab ki talKHiyan sahoge to lazzat-e-be-KHudi milegi

ye bad-gumanan-e-anjuman 'shad' kis liye jaan kho rahe hain

naqab uThane ke baad bhi us nigah mein barhami milegi
