ghuTan azab-e-badan ki na meri jaan mein la

ghuTan azāb-e-badan kī na merī jaan meñ lā

badal ke ghar mirā mujh ko mire makān meñ lā

mirī ikaa.ī ko iz.hār kā vasīla de

mirī nazar ko mire dil ko imtihān meñ lā

saḳhī hai vo to saḳhāvat kī laaj rakh legā

savāl arz-e-talab kā na darmiyān meñ lā

dil-e-vajūd ko jo chiir kar guzar jaa.e

ik aisā tiir tū apnī kaḌī kamān meñ lā

hai vo to hadd-e-giraft-e-ḳhayāl se bhī pare

ye soch kar hī ḳhayāl us kā apne dhyān meñ lā

badan tamām usī kī sadā se guuñj uThe

talātum aisā koī aaj merī jaan meñ lā

charāġh-e-rāhguzar laakh tābnāk sahī

jalā ke apnā diyā raushnī makān meñ lā

ba-rañg-e-ḳhvāb sahī saarī kā.enāt 'akbar'

vajūd-e-kul ko na andesha-e-gumān meñ lā

ghuTan azab-e-badan ki na meri jaan mein la

badal ke ghar mera mujh ko mere makan mein la

meri ikai ko izhaar ka wasila de

meri nazar ko mere dil ko imtihan mein la

saKHi hai wo to saKHawat ki laj rakh lega

sawal arz-e-talab ka na darmiyan mein la

dil-e-wajud ko jo chir kar guzar jae

ek aisa tir tu apni kaDi kaman mein la

hai wo to hadd-e-giraft-e-KHayal se bhi pare

ye soch kar hi KHayal us ka apne dhyan mein la

badan tamam usi ki sada se gunj uThe

talatum aisa koi aaj meri jaan mein la

charagh-e-rahguzar lakh tabnak sahi

jala ke apna diya raushni makan mein la

ba-rang-e-KHwab sahi sari kaenat 'akbar'

wajud-e-kul ko na andesha-e-guman mein la
