shauq barahna-pa chalta tha aur raste pathrile the

shauq barahna-pā chaltā thā aur raste pathrīle the

ghiste ghiste ghis ga.e āḳhir kankar jo nokīle the

ḳhār-e-chaman the shabnam shabnam phuul bhī saare giile the

shāḳh se TuuT ke girne vaale patte phir bhī piile the

sard havāoñ se to the sāhil ke ret ke yārāne

lū ke thapeḌe sahne vaale sahrāoñ ke Tiile the

tābinda tāroñ kā tohfa sub.h kī ḳhidmat meñ pahuñchā

raat ne chāñd kī nazr kiye jo taare kam chamkīle the

saare sapere vīrānoñ meñ ghuum rahe haiñ biin liye

ābādī meñ rahne vaale saañp baḌe zahrīle the

tum yuuñ hī nārāz hue ho varna mai-ḳhāne kā patā

ham ne har us shaḳhs se pūchhā jis ke nain nashīle the

kaun ġhulām mohammad 'qāsir' bechāre se kartā baat

ye chālākoñ kī bastī thī aur hazrat sharmīle the

shauq barahna-pa chalta tha aur raste pathrile the

ghiste ghiste ghis gae aaKHir kankar jo nokile the

KHar-e-chaman the shabnam shabnam phul bhi sare gile the

shaKH se TuT ke girne wale patte phir bhi pile the

sard hawaon se to the sahil ke ret ke yarane

lu ke thapeDe sahne wale sahraon ke Tile the

tabinda taron ka tohfa subh ki KHidmat mein pahuncha

raat ne chand ki nazr kiye jo tare kam chamkile the

sare sapere viranon mein ghum rahe hain bin liye

aabaadi mein rahne wale sanp baDe zahrile the

tum yun hi naraaz hue ho warna mai-KHane ka pata

hum ne har us shaKHs se puchha jis ke nain nashile the

kaun ghulam mohammad 'qasir' bechaare se karta baat

ye chaalakon ki basti thi aur hazrat sharmile the
