nukta-chīñ hai ġham-e-dil usko sunāe na bane

har ek baat pe kahte ho tum ki tū kyā hai

dard minnat-kash-e-dawā na huā

kisī ko de ke dil koī nawā-sañj-e-fuġhāñ kyuñ ho

aah ko chāhiye ek umr asar hote tak

husn-e-mah garche ba-hañgām-e-kamāl achchhā hai

bas-ki dushwār hai har kaam kā āsāñ honā

kyuñ jal gayā na tāb-e-ruḳh-e-yār dekh kar

us bazm meñ mujhe nahīñ bantī hayā kiye

ishrat-e-qatra hai dariyā meñ fanā ho jaanā

ye hum jo hijr meñ dīwār-o-dar ko dekhte haiñ

wo firāq aur wo wisāl kahāñ

taskīñ ko hum na roeñ jo zauq-e-nazar mile

dil-e-nādāñ tujhe huā kyā hai

dil hī to hai na sañg-o-ḳhisht dard se bhar na aae kyuñ

hazāroñ ḳhwāhisheñ aisī ki har ḳhwāhish pe dam nikle

dīwāngī se dosh pe zunnār bhī nahīñ

naqsh fariyādī hai kis kī shoḳhi-e-tahrīr kā

hum par jafā se tark-e-wafā kā gumāñ nahīñ

āīna kyuñ na duñ ki tamāshā kaheñ jise

hai bas-ki har ek un ke ishāre meñ nishāñ aur

bāzīcha-e-atfāl hai duniyā mere aage

satāish-gar hai zāhid is qadar jis bāġh-e-rizwāñ kā

shauq har rañg raqīb-e-sar-o-sāmāñ niklā

māna-e-dasht-nawardī koī tadbīr nahīñ

muddat huī hai yar ko mehmāñ kiye hue

ibn-e-mariyam huā kare koī

sab kahāñ kuchh lāla-o-gul meñ numāyāñ ho gaiñ

hairāñ huñ dil ko rouñ ki pīTūñ jigar ko maiñ

laraztā hai mirā dil zahmat-e-mehr-e-daraḳhshāñ par

ġham khāne meñ budā dil-e-nākām bahut hai

dost ġham-ḳhwārī meñ merī saī farmāweñge kyā

be-etidāliyoñ se subuk sab meñ hum hue

kal ke liye kar aaj na KHissat sharab mein

gar na andoh-e-shab-e-furqat bayan ho jaega

miltī hai ḳhū-e-yār se nar iltihāb meñ

kab wo suntā hai kahānī merī

na gul-e-naġhma huñ na parda-e-sāz

jahāñ terā naqsh-e-qadam dekhte haiñ

dekhnā qismat ki aap apne pe rashk aa jae hai

har qadam dūrī-e-manzil hai numāyāñ mujhse

dil se tirī nigāh jigar tak utar gaī

arz-e-niyāz-e-ishq ke qābil nahīñ rahā

huī tāḳhīr to kuchh bāis-e-tāḳhīr bhī thā

mahram nahīñ hai tū hī nawā-hā-e-rāz kā

lāzim thā ki dekho mirā rastā koī din aur

kahūñ jo haal to kahte ho muddaā kahiye

koī ummīd bar nahīñ aatī

zikr us pari-wash ka aur phir bayan apna

kal ke liye kar aaj na KHissat sharab mein
