Ai Musawwir Jo Meri Taswir Khinch
ai musawwir jo meri taswir khinch
hasrat-agin gham-zada dil-gir khinch
jazb bhi kuchh ai tasawwur chahiye
KHud khinche jis shoKH ki taswir khinch
ai mohabbat dagh-e-dil murjha na jaen
itr in phulon ka be-taKHir khinch
aa buton mein dekh zahid shan-e-haq
dair mein chal nara-e-takbir khinch
ek saghar pi ke buDha ho jawan
wo sharab ai mai-kade ke pair khinch
dil na us but ka dukhe kahta hai ishq
khinch jo nala wo be-tasir khinch
dil idhar betab hai tarkash udhar
khinchta hun aah main tu tir khinch
kuchh to kaam aa hijr mein o iztirab
shoKHi-e-mahbub ki taswir khinch
qais se dasht-e-junun mein kah 'jalal'
aage aage chal mere zanjir khinch
