jo ku-e-dost ko jaun to pasban ke liye
jo kū-e-dost ko jā.ūñ to pāsbāñ ke liye
nahīñ hai ḳhvāb se behtar kuchh armuġhāñ ke liye
tamām illat-e-darmāñdagī hai qillat-e-shauq
tapish huī par-e-parvāz-e-murġh-e-jāñ ke liye
sharīk-e-bulbul-o-qumrī haiñ vo zabūñ-fitrat
jo be-qarār rahe sair-e-gulsitāñ ke liye
umiid hai ki nibāheñge imtihāñ le kar
jo is qadar mutaqāzī haiñ imtihāñ ke liye
na ḳhākiyoñ se ta'alluq na qudsiyoñ se rabt
na ham zamīñ ke liye haiñ na āsmāñ ke liye
payām-e-dost huā qāsidoñ ko vaj.h-e-sharaf
nasīm-e-misr se 'izzat hai kārvāñ ke liye
qafas zamāna o jaañ murġh o āshiyāñ malakūt
qafas meñ murġh hai betāb āshiyāñ ke liye
fasāne yuuñ mohabbat ke sach haiñ par kuchh kuchh
baḌhā bhī dete haiñ ham zeb-e-dāstāñ ke liye
hamārī nazm meñ hai 'shefta' vo kaifiyyat
ki kuchh rahī na haqīqat mai-e-muġhāñ ke liye
jo ku-e-dost ko jaun to pasban ke liye
nahin hai KHwab se behtar kuchh armughan ke liye
tamam illat-e-darmandagi hai qillat-e-shauq
tapish hui par-e-parwaz-e-murgh-e-jaan ke liye
sharik-e-bulbul-o-qumri hain wo zabun-fitrat
jo be-qarar rahe sair-e-gulsitan ke liye
umid hai ki nibahenge imtihan le kar
jo is qadar mutaqazi hain imtihan ke liye
na KHakiyon se ta'alluq na qudsiyon se rabt
na hum zamin ke liye hain na aasman ke liye
payam-e-dost hua qasidon ko wajh-e-sharaf
nasim-e-misr se 'izzat hai karwan ke liye
qafas zamana o jaan murgh o aashiyan malakut
qafas mein murgh hai betab aashiyan ke liye
fasane yun mohabbat ke sach hain par kuchh kuchh
baDha bhi dete hain hum zeb-e-dastan ke liye
hamari nazm mein hai 'shefta' wo kaifiyyat
ki kuchh rahi na haqiqat mai-e-mughan ke liye
