raha ãk̇herat se mai be k̇habar yuñ jahãn e bãġh o bahãr me
kabhi k̇hushbuoñ ke safar me thã, kabhi jugnuoñ ki qatãr me
Aks to laakhoN aaye nazar seemab sifat aainay me
Dekh na paaye apna chehra gahri jheel ke seenay me
Kheench ke langar tohmat kyu sailaab ke sar tum dharte ho
Rabt kahaN rakha hai baaqi sahil aur safeenay me
Baith gaye t
Jo mere dil me hai milne ki aas rahne do
Kisi ki deed ki aankhoN me pyaas rahne do
Gam Khaar mil gaya to sambhalnay lagi hai shaam
Meri rafaaaqatoN se bahalnay lagi hai shaam
Lazzat e Aish agarche mujhay maaluum nahiN
Lazzat e dard e jigar se to mahroom nahiN
Yaad ka nashtar jo tanhaayi nukeela kar gayi
Waqt ke sookhay huwe zaKhmoN ko geela kar gayi
Sair-e-chaman karu to waha bhi na ji lage
phooloN ki dilkashi me tumhari kami lagay
mire nuqūsh tire zehn se miTā degā
mirā safar hī mire fāsle baḌhā degā
ek tasvīr jo tashkīl nahīñ ho paa.ī
canvas par kabhī takmīl nahīñ ho paa.ī
ab kaun phir ke jaa.e tirī jalva-gāh se
o shoḳh chashm phūñk de barq-e-nigāh se
