gham mein ahd-e-shabab jata hai

ġham meñ ahd-e-shabāb jaatā hai

āsmāñ ḳhaak meñ milātā hai

kaun gul bahr-e-sair aatā hai

baaġh phūlā nahīñ samātā hai

arsh par bhī ġhubār jaatā hai

dil jo vahshat meñ ḳhaak uḌātā hai

jaan detā hai sabza-e-ḳhat par

ḳhizr har roz zahr khātā hai

teġh-e-qātil jo ho ga.ī be-āb

zaḳhm paanī magar churātā hai

zinde marte haiñ murde jiite haiñ

jab vo rashk-e-masīh gaatā hai

sahar-e-shām-e-vasl hai shab-gor

maut aatī hai yaar jaatā hai

achchhī paḌtī hai jab koī talvār

dahan-e-zaḳhm muskurātā hai

ḳhūn-e-ushshāq kā uThā biiḌā

be-sabab kab vo paan khātā hai

jigar-e-sañg ho jahāñ paanī

vo vahāñ mujh ko āzmātā hai

tū jo gul hai to maiñ bhī shabnam huuñ

mujhe hañsnā tirā rulātā hai

ḳhush ye marne se huuñ mirā lāsha

gor meñ bhī nahīñ samātā hai

lāla-e-koh se huā sābit

ḳhūn-e-fariyād josh khātā hai

laakh taqlīd kījiye ai 'arsh'

par kab andāz-e-'mīr' aatā hai

gham mein ahd-e-shabab jata hai

aasman KHak mein milata hai

kaun gul bahr-e-sair aata hai

bagh phula nahin samata hai

arsh par bhi ghubar jata hai

dil jo wahshat mein KHak uData hai

jaan deta hai sabza-e-KHat par

KHizr har roz zahr khata hai

tegh-e-qatil jo ho gai be-ab

zaKHm pani magar churaata hai

zinde marte hain murde jite hain

jab wo rashk-e-masih gata hai

sahar-e-sham-e-wasl hai shab-gor

maut aati hai yar jata hai

achchhi paDti hai jab koi talwar

dahan-e-zaKHm muskuraata hai

KHun-e-ushshaq ka uTha biDa

be-sabab kab wo pan khata hai

jigar-e-sang ho jahan pani

wo wahan mujh ko aazmata hai

tu jo gul hai to main bhi shabnam hun

mujhe hansna tera rulata hai

KHush ye marne se hun mera lasha

gor mein bhi nahin samata hai

lala-e-koh se hua sabit

KHun-e-fariyaad josh khata hai

lakh taqlid kijiye ai 'arsh'

par kab andaz-e-'mir' aata hai
