na koi dost dushman ho sharik-dard-o-gham mera

na koī dost dushman ho sharīk-dard-o-ġham merā

salāmat merī gardan par rahe bār-e-alam merā

likhā ye dāvar-e-mahshar ne merī fard-e-isyāñ par

ye vo banda hai jis par naaz kartā hai karam merā

kahā ġhuncha ne hañs kar vaah kyā nairañg-e-ālam hai

vajūd gul jise samjhe haiñ sab hai vo adam merā

kashākash hai ummīd-o-yās kī ye zindagī kyā hai

ilāhī aisī hastī se to achchhā thā adam merā

dil-e-ahbāb meñ ghar hai shagufta rahtī hai ḳhātir

yahī jannat hai merī aur yahī bāġh-e-iram merā

mujhe ahbāb kī pursish kī ġhairat maar Dālegī

qayāmat hai agar ifshā huā rāz-e-alam merā

khaḌī thiiñ rāsta roke hue lākhoñ tamannā.eñ

shahīd-e-yās huuñ niklā hai kis mushkil se dam merā

ḳhudā ne ilm baḳhshā hai adab ahbāb karte haiñ

yahī daulat hai merī aur yahī jāh-o-hasham merā

zabān-e-hāl se ye lucknow kī ḳhaak kahtī hai

miTāyā gardish-e-aflāk ne jāh-o-hasham merā

kiyā hai faash parda kufr-o-dīñ kā is qadar maiñ ne

ki dushman hai barhaman aur adū shaiḳh-e-haram merā

na koi dost dushman ho sharik-dard-o-gham mera

salamat meri gardan par rahe bar-e-alam mera

likha ye dawar-e-mahshar ne meri fard-e-isyan par

ye wo banda hai jis par naz karta hai karam mera

kaha ghuncha ne hans kar wah kya nairang-e-alam hai

wajud gul jise samjhe hain sab hai wo adam mera

kashakash hai ummid-o-yas ki ye zindagi kya hai

ilahi aisi hasti se to achchha tha adam mera

dil-e-ahbab mein ghar hai shagufta rahti hai KHatir

yahi jannat hai meri aur yahi bagh-e-iram mera

mujhe ahbab ki pursish ki ghairat mar Dalegi

qayamat hai agar ifsha hua raaz-e-alam mera

khaDi thin rasta roke hue lakhon tamannaen

shahid-e-yas hun nikla hai kis mushkil se dam mera

KHuda ne ilm baKHsha hai adab ahbab karte hain

yahi daulat hai meri aur yahi jah-o-hasham mera

zaban-e-haal se ye lucknow ki KHak kahti hai

miTaya gardish-e-aflak ne jah-o-hasham mera

kiya hai fash parda kufr-o-din ka is qadar main ne

ki dushman hai barhaman aur adu shaiKH-e-haram mera
