zargar-o-haddad KHush hon wo karen tadbir hum

zargar-o-haddād ḳhush hoñ vo kareñ tadbīr ham

tauq-e-zar tum pahno pahneñ āhanī zanjīr ham

aur dīvānoñ se rakhte haiñ zarā tauqīr ham

Dālte haiñ aap apne paañv meñ zanjīr ham

kufr-o-dīñ ke qā.ede donoñ adā ho jā.eñge

zab.h vo kāfir kare muñh se kaheñ takbīr ham

yuuñ hī ḳhush karte haiñ dil apnā umīd-e-vasl meñ

khīñchte haiñ ek jā apnī tirī tasvīr ham

aa gayā jis din ḳhayāl-e-joshish-e-dīvānagī

chaak kar Dāleñge apnā nāma-e-taqdīr ham

sun to o zālim bhalā ye bhī koī insāf hai

lā.eq-e-altāf aa'dā qābil-e-tāzīr ham

vasl mere un ke hogā kuchh ab is meñ shak nahīñ

kah do āmīñ de chuke is ḳhvāb kī tā'bīr ham

roz kā jhagḌā uThā.e kaun kar lete haiñ aaj

imtihān-e-kāvish-e-qātil tah-e-shamshīr ham

kyuuñ na mustaġhnī raheñ fazl-e-ḳhudā se ai 'nasīm'

rakhte haiñ mulk-e-suḳhan kī vāqa'ī jāgīr ham

zargar-o-haddad KHush hon wo karen tadbir hum

tauq-e-zar tum pahno pahnen aahani zanjir hum

aur diwanon se rakhte hain zara tauqir hum

Dalte hain aap apne panw mein zanjir hum

kufr-o-din ke qaede donon ada ho jaenge

zabh wo kafir kare munh se kahen takbir hum

yun hi KHush karte hain dil apna umid-e-wasl mein

khinchte hain ek ja apni teri taswir hum

aa gaya jis din KHayal-e-joshish-e-diwanagi

chaak kar Dalenge apna nama-e-taqdir hum

sun to o zalim bhala ye bhi koi insaf hai

laeq-e-altaf aa'da qabil-e-tazir hum

wasl mere un ke hoga kuchh ab is mein shak nahin

kah do aamin de chuke is KHwab ki ta'bir hum

roz ka jhagDa uThae kaun kar lete hain aaj

imtihan-e-kawish-e-qatil tah-e-shamshir hum

kyun na mustaghni rahen fazl-e-KHuda se ai 'nasim'

rakhte hain mulk-e-suKHan ki waqa'i jagir hum
