wo mahfilen wo misr ke bazar kya hue

vo mahfileñ vo misr ke bāzār kyā hue

ai shahr-e-dil tire dar-o-dīvār kyā hue

Dasne lagī haiñ ham ko zamāne kī raunaqeñ

ham jurm-e-āshiqī ke sazā-vār kyā hue

itnī gurez-pā to na thī umr-e-dostī

ai ḳhanda-e-ḳhafī tire iqrār kyā hue

phūloñ ne baḌh ke paañv meñ zanjīr Daal dī

vāraftagī meñ mā.il-e-gulzār kyā hue

jin kā jamāl jannat-e-qalb-o-nazar rahā

vo ham-nashīñ vo yār-e-tarah-dār kyā hue

ham is tarah to yūsuf-e-be-kārvāñ na the

ai dil tū hī batā tire ġham-ḳhvār kyā hue

ummīd-e-vasl-e-yār meñ shab kaaT dī to kyā

din Dhal gayā to niiñd se bedār kyā hue

aane se un ke Dūbtī nabzeñ sambhal ga.iiñ

āsān marhale mire dushvār kyā hue

wo mahfilen wo misr ke bazar kya hue

ai shahr-e-dil tere dar-o-diwar kya hue

Dasne lagi hain hum ko zamane ki raunaqen

hum jurm-e-ashiqi ke saza-war kya hue

itni gurez-pa to na thi umr-e-dosti

ai KHanda-e-KHafi tere iqrar kya hue

phulon ne baDh ke panw mein zanjir Dal di

waraftagi mein mail-e-gulzar kya hue

jin ka jamal jannat-e-qalb-o-nazar raha

wo ham-nashin wo yar-e-tarah-dar kya hue

hum is tarah to yusuf-e-be-karwan na the

ai dil tu hi bata tere gham-KHwar kya hue

ummid-e-wasl-e-yar mein shab kaT di to kya

din Dhal gaya to nind se bedar kya hue

aane se un ke Dubti nabzen sambhal gain

aasan marhale mere dushwar kya hue
