Hai Wajh-e-tamasha-e-jahan Dil-shikani Bhi

hai wajh-e-tamasha-e-jahan dil-shikani bhi

manzur hai ai dost! ye neze ki ani bhi

shadab daraKHton ke bhi sae hain gurezan

ek jurm hui meri gharib-ul-watani bhi

pite hi rahe gardish-e-ayyam ke hathon

sahba-e-malamat bhi gham-e-tana-zani bhi

socha tha ki us bazm mein KHamosh rahenge

mauzu-e-suKHan ban ke rahi kam-suKHani bhi

ai silsila-e-nikhat-e-gesu ke asiro!

hai ishq mein ek marhala-e-koh-kani bhi

viran jaziron ki tarah KHushk hain aankhen

bekar hai ai dard teri nala-zani bhi

ai nazish-e-sad-rang na kar un se taghaful

hai KHak-nashinon se teri gul-badani bhi
