saqiya daur-e-inqalabi hai

sāqiyā daur-e-inqalābī hai

ḳhūn-e-dil se bharī gulābī hai

bazm-e-peshīniyāñ huī barham

ibrat-añgez ab sāġhar-e-jam

tūs-o-ganja ho yā ki nīshāpūr

ab nahīñ hai kahīñ sarā-e-surūr

dehlī aur lucknow nahīñ Tiksāl

akbarabad kā hai abtar haal

ujḌī bastī hai ab azīmābād

dil-e-nāshād meñ ghuTī fariyād

ab arab kī zabāñ bhī vo nahīñ

un kā tarz-e-bayāñ bhī vo nahīñ

ahl-e-īrāñ kī fārsī vo kahāñ

haath kañgan ko aarsī vo kahāñ

phir bhī mahfūz hai zabān-e-kitāb

nahīñ 'hāfiz' ke ham-navā kamyāb

ham-zabāñ 'sa.adī'-o-'afġhānī' ke

ham-pyāla haiñ 'isfahānī' ke

qadr-dān-e-kamāl-e-ismā.īl

abu-tālib-'kalīm' ke bhī masīl

un meñ sar-āmad suḳhan-e-'ġhālib'

ba.ad 'ḳhusrav' ze-ahl-e-fan 'ġhālib'

saqiya daur-e-inqalabi hai

KHun-e-dil se bhari gulabi hai

bazm-e-peshiniyan hui barham

ibrat-angez ab saghar-e-jam

tus-o-ganja ho ya ki nishapur

ab nahin hai kahin sara-e-surur

dehli aur lucknow nahin Tiksal

akbarabad ka hai abtar haal

ujDi basti hai ab azimabaad

dil-e-nashad mein ghuTi fariyaad

ab arab ki zaban bhi wo nahin

un ka tarz-e-bayan bhi wo nahin

ahl-e-iran ki farsi wo kahan

hath kangan ko aarsi wo kahan

phir bhi mahfuz hai zaban-e-kitab

nahin 'hafiz' ke ham-nawa kamyab

ham-zaban 'sadi'-o-'afghani' ke

ham-pyala hain 'isfahani' ke

qadr-dan-e-kamal-e-ismail

abu-talib-'kalim' ke bhi masil

un mein sar-amad suKHan-e-'ghaalib'

baad 'KHusraw' ze-ahl-e-fan 'ghaalib'
