aankh jo nam ho wahi dida-e-tar mera hai

aañkh jo nam ho vahī dīda-e-tar merā hai

mauj-e-ġham uTThe kahīñ us kā guhar merā hai

dekh luuñ maiñ to sitāre haiñ na dekhūñ to dhuāñ

kyā rasā itnā kaf-e-dast-e-nazar merā hai

samar o gul haiñ gulistān-faroshoñ ke liye

ābyārī ke liye ḳhūn-e-jigar merā hai

qasr ho yā ki lahad donoñ kiyraye ke makāñ

roz kahtā hai koī aa ke ye ghar merā hai

dasht kī uḌtī huī ret pe likh dete haiñ log

ye zamīñ merī ye dīvār ye dar merā hai

is shar-ābād ḳharābe meñ kahāñ husn-o-jamāl

husn jitnā bhī hai sab husn-e-nazar merā hai

maut hai jur.at-e-iz.hār kī pazmurdā-labī

sāz-e-taḳhlīq lab-e-arz-e-hunar merā hai

vo ḳhudā ho to ho maiñ DhūñDne kyuuñ jā.ūñ use

ḳhud hī apnā le mujhe baḌh ke vo gar merā hai

kaT ke sar paḌhte haiñ nezoñ pe bhī qur.ān 'vahīd'

juzv-e-tan rah ke bhī chup kis liye sar merā hai

aankh jo nam ho wahi dida-e-tar mera hai

mauj-e-gham uTThe kahin us ka guhar mera hai

dekh lun main to sitare hain na dekhun to dhuan

kya rasa itna kaf-e-dast-e-nazar mera hai

samar o gul hain gulistan-faroshon ke liye

aabyari ke liye KHun-e-jigar mera hai

qasr ho ya ki lahad donon kiyraye ke makan

roz kahta hai koi aa ke ye ghar mera hai

dasht ki uDti hui ret pe likh dete hain log

ye zamin meri ye diwar ye dar mera hai

is shar-abaad KHarabe mein kahan husn-o-jamal

husn jitna bhi hai sab husn-e-nazar mera hai

maut hai jurat-e-izhaar ki pazmurda-labi

saz-e-taKHliq lab-e-arz-e-hunar mera hai

wo KHuda ho to ho main DhunDne kyun jaun use

KHud hi apna le mujhe baDh ke wo gar mera hai

kaT ke sar paDhte hain nezon pe bhi quran 'wahid'

juzw-e-tan rah ke bhi chup kis liye sar mera hai
