kar chuka qaid se jis waqt ki aazad mujhe

kar chukā qaid se jis vaqt ki āzād mujhe

haath maltā hī rahā dekh ke sayyād mujhe

umr bhar yuuñ to kabhī lī bhī na karvaT pas-e-marg

haif rah-rah ke kiyā karte haiñ ab yaad mujhe

hukm darbāñ ko hai zinhār na aane paa.e

ġhair ke sāmne karte haiñ magar yaad mujhe

bāġhbāñ gulshan-e-ālam kā maiñ vo bulbul huuñ

tā.er-e-sidra kahā kartā hai ustād mujhe

ham-safīroñ ko mirā haal khulegā pas-e-marg

dekhnā dil meñ kareñge vo bahut yaad mujhe

sahn-e-gulshan meñ mire phuul kareñge gulchīñ

ro.egā suunā qafas dekh ke sayyād mujhe

rāh-e-ulfat meñ mulāqāt huī kis kis se

dasht meñ qais milā koh meñ farhād mujhe

ġhaib se hote haiñ ilqā mire dil meñ mazmūn

dekh faizān suḳhan kā hai ḳhudā-dād mujhe

sabz baaġh aatā hai duniyā kā nazar jab 'ra.anā'

yaad aatī hai bahut hasrat-e-shaddād mujhe

kar chuka qaid se jis waqt ki aazad mujhe

hath malta hi raha dekh ke sayyaad mujhe

umr bhar yun to kabhi li bhi na karwaT pas-e-marg

haif rah-rah ke kiya karte hain ab yaad mujhe

hukm darban ko hai zinhaar na aane pae

ghair ke samne karte hain magar yaad mujhe

baghban gulshan-e-alam ka main wo bulbul hun

taer-e-sidra kaha karta hai ustad mujhe

ham-safiron ko mera haal khulega pas-e-marg

dekhna dil mein karenge wo bahut yaad mujhe

sahn-e-gulshan mein mere phul karenge gulchin

roega suna qafas dekh ke sayyaad mujhe

rah-e-ulfat mein mulaqat hui kis kis se

dasht mein qais mila koh mein farhad mujhe

ghaib se hote hain ilqa mere dil mein mazmun

dekh faizan suKHan ka hai KHuda-dad mujhe

sabz bagh aata hai duniya ka nazar jab 'rana'

yaad aati hai bahut hasrat-e-shaddad mujhe
