gul ke hone ki tawaqqo pe jiye baiThi hai

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
