na siyo hoñT na ḳhvāboñ meñ sadā do ham ko
maslahat kā ye taqāzā hai bhulā do ham ko

jurm-e-suqrāt se haT kar na sazā do ham ko
zahr rakkhā hai to ye āb-e-baqā do ham ko

bastiyāñ aag meñ bah jaa.eñ ki patthar barseñ
ham agar so.e hue haiñ to jagā do ham ko

ham haqīqat haiñ to taslīm na karne kā sabab
haañ agar harf-e-ġhalat haiñ to miTā do ham ko

ḳhizr mash.hūr ho ilyās bane phirte ho
kab se ham gum haiñ hamārā to patā do ham ko

ziist hai is sahar-o-shām se bezār o zubūñ
lāla-o-gul kī tarah rañg-e-qabā do ham ko

shorish-e-ishq meñ hai husn barābar kā sharīk
soch kar jurm-e-tamannā kī sazā do ham ko

jur.at-e-lams bhī imkān-e-talab meñ hai magar
ye na ho aur gunāhgār banā do ham ko

kyuuñ na us shab se na.e daur kā āġhāz kareñ
bazm-e-ḳhūbāñ se koī naġhma sunā do ham ko

maqsad-e-zīst ġham-e-ishq hai sahrā ho ki shahr
baiTh jā.eñge jahāñ chāho biThā do ham ko

ham chaTāneñ haiñ koī ret ke sāhil to nahī
shauq se shahr-panāhoñ meñ lagā do ham ko

bhiiḌ bāzār-e-samā.at meñ hai naġhmoñ kī bahut
jis se tum sāmne ubhro vo sadā do ham ko

kaun detā hai mohabbat ko parastish kā maqām
tum ye insāf se socho to duā do ham ko

aaj māhaul ko ārā.ish-e-jāñ se hai gurez
koī 'dānish' kī ġhazal lā ke sunā do ham ko

na siyo honT na KHwabon mein sada do hum ko
maslahat ka ye taqaza hai bhula do hum ko

jurm-e-suqraat se haT kar na saza do hum ko
zahr rakkha hai to ye aab-e-baqa do hum ko

bastiyan aag mein bah jaen ki patthar barsen
hum agar soe hue hain to jaga do hum ko

hum haqiqat hain to taslim na karne ka sabab
han agar harf-e-ghalat hain to miTa do hum ko

KHizr mashhur ho ilyas bane phirte ho
kab se hum gum hain hamara to pata do hum ko

zist hai is sahar-o-sham se bezar o zubun
lala-o-gul ki tarah rang-e-qaba do hum ko

shorish-e-ishq mein hai husn barabar ka sharik
soch kar jurm-e-tamanna ki saza do hum ko

jurat-e-lams bhi imkan-e-talab mein hai magar
ye na ho aur gunahgar bana do hum ko

kyun na us shab se nae daur ka aaghaz karen
bazm-e-KHuban se koi naghma suna do hum ko

maqsad-e-zist gham-e-ishq hai sahra ho ki shahr
baiTh jaenge jahan chaho biTha do hum ko

hum chaTanen hain koi ret ke sahil to nahi
shauq se shahr-panahon mein laga do hum ko

bhiD bazar-e-samaat mein hai naghmon ki bahut
jis se tum samne ubhro wo sada do hum ko

kaun deta hai mohabbat ko parastish ka maqam
tum ye insaf se socho to dua do hum ko

aaj mahaul ko aaraish-e-jaan se hai gurez
koi 'danish' ki ghazal la ke suna do hum ko
