hai aarmidagi mein nikohish baja mujhe

hai ārmīdagī meñ nikohish bajā mujhe

sub.h-e-vatan hai ḳhanda-e-dandāñ-numā mujhe

DhūñDe hai us muġhanni-e-ātish-nafas ko jī

jis kī sadā ho jalva-e-barq-e-fanā mujhe

mastāna tai karūñ huuñ rah-e-vādi-e-ḳhayāl

tā bāz-gasht se na rahe mudda.ā mujhe

kartā hai bas-ki baaġh meñ tū be-hijābiyāñ

aane lagī hai nik.hat-e-gul se hayā mujhe

khultā kisī pe kyuuñ mire dil kā mo.āmla

sheroñ ke intiḳhāb ne rusvā kiyā mujhe

vaañ rañg-hā ba-parda-e-tadbīr haiñ hunūz

yaañ shola-e-charāġh hai barg-e-hinā mujhe

parvāz-hā niyāz-e-tamāshā-e-husn-e-dost

az-ḳhud-guzashtagī meñ ḳhamoshī pe harf hai

mauj-e-ġhubār-e-surma huī hai sadā mujhe

tā chand past fitrati-e-tab-e-ārzū

yā rab mile bulandī-e-dast-e-duā mujhe

maiñ ne junūñ se kī jo 'asad' iltimās-e-rañg

ḳhūn-e-jigar meñ ek hī ġhota diyā mujhe

hai pech-tāb rishta-e-sham-e-sahar-gahī

ḳhajlat gudāzī-e-nafas-e-nā-rasā mujhe

yaañ āb-o-dāna mausam-e-gul meñ harām hai

zunnār-e-vā-gusista hai mauj-e-sabā mujhe

yakbār imtihān-e-havas bhī zarūr hai

ai josh-e-ishq bāda-e-mard-āzmā mujhe

hai aarmidagi mein nikohish baja mujhe

subh-e-watan hai KHanda-e-dandan-numa mujhe

DhunDe hai us mughanni-e-atish-nafas ko ji

jis ki sada ho jalwa-e-barq-e-fana mujhe

mastana tai karun hun rah-e-wadi-e-KHayal

ta baz-gasht se na rahe muddaa mujhe

karta hai bas-ki bagh mein tu be-hijabiyan

aane lagi hai nikhat-e-gul se haya mujhe

khulta kisi pe kyun mere dil ka moamla

sheron ke intiKHab ne ruswa kiya mujhe

wan rang-ha ba-parda-e-tadbir hain hunuz

mauj-e-ghubar-e-surma hui hai sada mujhe

ta chand past fitrati-e-tab-e-arzu

ya rab mile bulandi-e-dast-e-dua mujhe

main ne junun se ki jo 'asad' iltimas-e-rang

KHun-e-jigar mein ek hi ghota diya mujhe

hai pech-tab rishta-e-sham-e-sahar-gahi

KHajlat gudazi-e-nafas-e-na-rasa mujhe

yan aab-o-dana mausam-e-gul mein haram hai

zunnar-e-wa-gusista hai mauj-e-saba mujhe

yakbar imtihan-e-hawas bhi zarur hai

ai josh-e-ishq baada-e-mard-azma mujhe
