koī tūfāñ to nahīñ koī talātum to nahīñ
zindagī naam hai jis kā vo kahīñ tum to nahīñ
aur kyā kahiyegā ā.īna-e-hairat ke sivā
un kī mahfil meñ mujhe izn-e-takallum to nahīñ
jis taraf dekhiye ik nūr-e-tajallī paidā
aap kī bazm meñ shāmil mah-o-anjum to nahīñ
aur kyā dil kī tabāhī pe tavajjoh detā
aap dekheñ mire hoñToñ pe tabassum to nahīñ
aa.ina dekh ke ab pyaar sā aa jaatā hai
merī sūrat se numāyāñ ye kahīñ tum to nahīñ
mausam-e-lāla-o-gul ahd-e-bahār-e-gulshan
ye kahīñ aap kā andāz-e-tabassum to nahīñ
manzileñ apnī jagah par haiñ talab apnī jagah
jā hī pahuñchegā ki 'ehsās' abhī gum to nahīñ
koi tufan to nahin koi talatum to nahin
zindagi nam hai jis ka wo kahin tum to nahin
aur kya kahiyega aaina-e-hairat ke siwa
un ki mahfil mein mujhe izn-e-takallum to nahin
jis taraf dekhiye ek nur-e-tajalli paida
aap ki bazm mein shamil mah-o-anjum to nahin
aur kya dil ki tabahi pe tawajjoh deta
aap dekhen mere honTon pe tabassum to nahin
aaina dekh ke ab pyar sa aa jata hai
meri surat se numayan ye kahin tum to nahin
mausam-e-lala-o-gul ahd-e-bahaar-e-gulshan
ye kahin aap ka andaz-e-tabassum to nahin
manzilen apni jagah par hain talab apni jagah
ja hi pahunchega ki 'ehsas' abhi gum to nahin
