sitam ki tegh pe ye dast-e-be-niyam rakkha

sitam kī teġh pe ye dast-e-be-niyām rakhā

gul-e-shikast sar-e-shāḳh-e-intiqām rakhā

maiñ dil ko us kī taġhāful-sarā se le aayā

aur apne ḳhāna-e-vahshat meñ zer-e-dām rakhā

nigār-ḳhāna-e-taslīm kyā bayābāñ thā

jahāñ pe sail-e-ḳharābī ko maiñ ne thaam rakhā

mizha pe ḳhushk kiye ashk-e-nā-murād us ne

phir aa.ine meñ mirā aks-e-lāla-fām rakhā

isī fasāna-e-vahshat meñ āḳhir-e-shab ko

maiñ teġh-e-tez rakkhī us ne niim jaam rakhā

sitam ki tegh pe ye dast-e-be-niyam rakha

gul-e-shikast sar-e-shaKH-e-intiqam rakha

main dil ko us ki taghaful-sara se le aaya

aur apne KHana-e-wahshat mein zer-e-dam rakha

nigar-KHana-e-taslim kya bayaban tha

jahan pe sail-e-KHarabi ko main ne tham rakha

mizha pe KHushk kiye ashk-e-na-murad us ne

phir aaine mein mera aks-e-lala-fam rakha

isi fasana-e-wahshat mein aaKHir-e-shab ko

main tegh-e-tez rakkhi us ne nim jam rakha
