soz-e-dil ko aashnaa-e-saaz honaa chaahiye
a'ashiqee meN raNg-o-Husn-e-naaz honaa chaahiye!

aa hee jaaYe gee shikastah baazoo,oN meN jaan bh`ee
shart^ yeh hai jazbah-e-parvaaz honaa chaahiye!

qiSSah-e-Gham dil hee se keh letaa hooN maiN haar kar
koyee to aaKhir miraa hamraaz honaa chaahiye!

hai agar bagaanah-e-hastee to ph`ir bekaar hai
shaai'ree ko vaqt kee aavaaz honaa chaahiye!
