अए दिल बगीर दामन-ए-सुल्तान-ए-औलिया

ज़ौके़ दिगर बजाम-ए-शहादत अजो़ रसीद
शौक़े दिगर बामास्ति-ए-इरफ़ान-ए-औलिया

चूँ साहिब-ए-मक़ाम-ए-नबी-ओ-अलिस्त ऊ
हम फख्र अम्बिया शुदा हम शान-ए-औलिया

आएना-ए-जमाल-ए-इलाहीस्त सूरतश
जांरो शुदस्त किबला-ए-ईमान-ए-औलिया

ताकर्द सर्फ़-ए-हक़ सर-ओ-सामान-ए-हस्तियश
गोए सबक़ रबूदा ज़मीरान-ए-औलिया

दारद 'नियाज़' हश्र ख़ुद उम्मीद बा हुसैन
बा औलियास्त हश्र मुहिब्बान-ए-औलिया


Ae dilbigeer daaman-e-sultaane-Aulia,
Yaani Hussain ibn-e-ALi jaan-e-Aulia.

zauq-e-digar bajaam-e-shahadat azo raseed,
shauq-e-digar bamasti-e-irfan-e-Aulia

Chun sahib-e-maqaam-e-Nabi-o-Alistou,
Hum fakhr-e-Ambiya shuda hum shan-e-Aulia.

Aaeena-e-jamaal-e-Ilaahist sooratash,
Zanro shudast qibla-e-imaan-e-Aulia.

Taqard sarf-e-haq sar-o-samaan-e-hastiyash,
Goye sabak rabooda zameeran-e-Aulia.

Daarad `Niyaz' hashr khud um'meed ba Hussain,
Ba Auliast hashr muhib'baan-e-Aulia.
