dāstān-e-shauq kitnī baar dohrā.ī ga.ī
sunñe vāloñ meñ tavajjoh kī kamī paa.ī ga.ī

fikr hai sahmī huī jazba hai murjhāyā huā
mauj kī shorish ga.ī dariyā kī gahrā.ī ga.ī

husn bhī hai maslahat-bīñ ishq bhī duniyā-shanās
aap kī shohrat ga.ī yāroñ kī rusvā.ī ga.ī

ham to kahte the zamāna hī nahīñ jauhar-shanās
ġhaur se dekhā to apne meñ kamī paa.ī ga.ī

zaḳhm milte haiñ ilāj-e-zaḳhm-e-dil miltā nahīñ
vaz-e-qātil rah ga.ī rasm-e-masīhā.ī ga.ī

gard uḌaa.ī jo siyāsat ne vo āḳhir dhul ga.ī
ahl-e-dil kī ḳhaak meñ bhī zindagī paa.ī ga.ī

merī maddham lai kā jaadū ab bhī baaqī hai 'surūr'
fasl ke naġhme ga.e mausam kī shahnā.ī ga.ī

dastan-e-shauq kitni bar dohrai gai
sunne walon mein tawajjoh ki kami pai gai

fikr hai sahmi hui jazba hai murjhaya hua
mauj ki shorish gai dariya ki gahrai gai

husn bhi hai maslahat-bin ishq bhi duniya-shanas
aap ki shohrat gai yaron ki ruswai gai

hum to kahte the zamana hi nahin jauhar-shanas
ghaur se dekha to apne mein kami pai gai

zaKHm milte hain ilaj-e-zaKHm-e-dil milta nahin
waz-e-qatil rah gai rasm-e-masihai gai

gard uDai jo siyasat ne wo aaKHir dhul gai
ahl-e-dil ki KHak mein bhi zindagi pai gai

meri maddham lai ka jadu ab bhi baqi hai 'surur'
fasl ke naghme gae mausam ki shahnai gai
