anokhā kuchh kahāñ aisā huā hai
tamāshā sab mirā dekhā huā hai

ḳhushī ko ham-nashīñ apnā banā kar
nishān-e-ġham bahut gahrā huā hai

hañsī kyuuñ be-tahāsha aa.ī us ko
zamāna kis liye sankā huā hai

na.ī shādāb qurbat kī fazā meñ
bahut maḳhmūr sā lahja huā hai

sarāpā dekh kar dilkash kisī kā
har ik manzar vahāñ Thahrā huā hai

kabhī mansūb rāhat se thā dariyā
baḌā be-dard vo sahrā huā hai

tapish meñ ishq kī bechain sā thā
kaleja ro ke ab ThanDā huā hai

sajā kar bazm 'ja.afar' aarzū kī
akelā der se baiThā huā hai

anokha kuchh kahan aisa hua hai
tamasha sab mera dekha hua hai

KHushi ko ham-nashin apna bana kar
nishan-e-gham bahut gahra hua hai

hansi kyun be-tahasha aai us ko
zamana kis liye sanka hua hai

nai shadab qurbat ki faza mein
bahut maKHmur sa lahja hua hai

sarapa dekh kar dilkash kisi ka
har ek manzar wahan Thahra hua hai

kabhi mansub rahat se tha dariya
baDa be-dard wo sahra hua hai

tapish mein ishq ki bechain sa tha
kaleja ro ke ab ThanDa hua hai

saja kar bazm 'jafar' aarzu ki
akela der se baiTha hua hai
