karen hijrat to KHak-e-shahr bhi juz-dan mein rakh len
kareñ hijrat to ḳhāk-e-shahr bhī juz-dān meñ rakh leñ
chaleñ ghar se to ghar kyā yaad bhī sāmān meñ rakh leñ
hamārā kyā ki gul ko noch kar takrīm bhī de deñ
sahīfe meñ sajā deñ yā kisī gul-dān meñ rakh leñ
ziyān-e-dil hī is bāzār meñ sūd-e-mohabbat hai
yahāñ hai fā.eda ḳhud ko agar nuqsān meñ rakh leñ
bahut tarsī hai duniyā tere hashr-e-rū-numā.ī ko
batā ab ye talab ham aur kis imkān meñ rakh leñ
hamārā kufr ye hai harf aatā ho jahāñ tujh par
hamīñ to haiñ jo terī aabrū īmān meñ rakh leñ
amaañ kī ek hī sūrat hai ab is be-yaqīnī meñ
parind-e-ġhār! ham bhī jaan terī jaan meñ rakh leñ
Dhale jab tak na shab ham kaaḌh kar ik sham.a kī lau se
tulū-e-sub.h kā manzar na raushan-dān meñ rakh leñ?
karen hijrat to KHak-e-shahr bhi juz-dan mein rakh len
chalen ghar se to ghar kya yaad bhi saman mein rakh len
hamara kya ki gul ko noch kar takrim bhi de den
sahife mein saja den ya kisi gul-dan mein rakh len
ziyan-e-dil hi is bazar mein sud-e-mohabbat hai
yahan hai faeda KHud ko agar nuqsan mein rakh len
bahut tarsi hai duniya tere hashr-e-ru-numai ko
bata ab ye talab hum aur kis imkan mein rakh len
hamara kufr ye hai harf aata ho jahan tujh par
hamin to hain jo teri aabru iman mein rakh len
aman ki ek hi surat hai ab is be-yaqini mein
parind-e-ghaar! hum bhi jaan teri jaan mein rakh len
Dhale jab tak na shab hum kaDh kar ek shama ki lau se
tulu-e-subh ka manzar na raushan-dan mein rakh len?
