ye kya maqam hai wo nazare kahan gae


ye kyā maqām hai vo nazāre kahāñ ga.e
vo phuul kyā hue vo sitāre kahāñ ga.e

yārān-e-bazm jur.at-e-rindāna kyā huī
un mast añkhḌiyoñ ke ishāre kahāñ ga.e

ek aur daur kā vo taqāzā kidhar gayā
umDe hue vo hosh ke dhāre kahāñ ga.e

uftād kyuuñ hai laġhzish-e-mastāna kyuuñ nahīñ
vo uzr-e-mai-kashī ke sahāre kahāñ ga.e

daurān-e-zalzala jo panāh-e-nigāh the
leTe hue the paañv pasāre kahāñ ga.e

bāñdhā thā kyā havā pe vo ummīd kā tilism
rañgīni-e-nazar ke ġhubāre kahāñ ga.e

uTh uTh ke baiTh baiTh chukī gard raah kī
yaaro vo qāfile thake haare kahāñ ga.e

har mīr-e-kārvāñ se mujhe pūchhnā paḌā
sāthī tire kidhar ko sidhāre kahāñ ga.e

farmā ga.e the raah meñ baiTh intizār kar
aa.e nahīñ palaT ke vo pyāre kahāñ ga.e

tum se bhī jin kā ahd-e-vafā ustuvār thā
ai dushmanoñ vo dost hamāre kahāñ ga.e

kashtī na.ī banī ki uThā le gayā koī
taḳhte jo lag ga.e the kināre kahāñ ga.e

ab Dūbtoñ se pūchhtā phirtā hai nāḳhudā
jin ko lagā chukā huuñ kināre kahāñ ga.e

betāb tere dard se the chārāgar 'hafīz'
kyā jāniye vo dard ke maare kahāñ ga.e

ye kya maqam hai wo nazare kahan gae
wo phul kya hue wo sitare kahan gae

yaran-e-bazm jurat-e-rindana kya hui
un mast ankhDiyon ke ishaare kahan gae

ek aur daur ka wo taqaza kidhar gaya
umDe hue wo hosh ke dhaare kahan gae

uftad kyun hai laghzish-e-mastana kyun nahin
wo uzr-e-mai-kashi ke sahaare kahan gae

dauran-e-zalzala jo panah-e-nigah the
leTe hue the panw pasare kahan gae

bandha tha kya hawa pe wo ummid ka tilism
rangini-e-nazar ke ghubare kahan gae

uTh uTh ke baiTh baiTh chuki gard rah ki
yaro wo qafile thake haare kahan gae

har mir-e-karwan se mujhe puchhna paDa
sathi tere kidhar ko sidhaare kahan gae

farma gae the rah mein baiTh intizar kar
aae nahin palaT ke wo pyare kahan gae

tum se bhi jin ka ahd-e-wafa ustuwar tha
ai dushmanon wo dost hamare kahan gae

kashti nai bani ki uTha le gaya koi
taKHte jo lag gae the kinare kahan gae

ab Dubton se puchhta phirta hai naKHuda
jin ko laga chuka hun kinare kahan gae

betab tere dard se the chaaragar 'hafiz'
kya jaaniye wo dard ke mare kahan gae
