mil mil ke dostoñ ne vo dī hai daġhā mujhe
ab ḳhud pe bhī nahīñ hai gumān-e-vafā mujhe

uf ibtidā-e-shauq kī ma.asūm justujū
har phuul thā chaman meñ tirā naqsh-e-pā mujhe

ai khiñchne vaale dekh mirī be-panāhiyāñ
aatī hai dushmanoñ se bhī bū-e-vafā mujhe

duniyā tumheñ aziiz hai mere sivā magar
aalam hai nā-pasand tumhāre sivā mujhe

kartī nahīñ ubuur tumheñ merī justujū
kyā kar diyā hai tum ne ye kyā ho gayā mujhe

vaz.an bhī hañs paḌā huuñ to phir dil se muddatoñ
aa.ī karāhne kī sadā par sadā mujhe

phir baat baat meñ hai lachak iltifāt kī
kyā phir dikhāoge koī ḳhvāb-e-vafā mujhe

ye hai fuġhāñ kā zor to phir vo chukā qafas
kar degī merī sho.ala-navā.ī rihā mujhe

kotāhī-e-nazar se ahāta na ho sakā
milne ko yuuñ milā hai butoñ meñ ḳhudā mujhe

merī vafā pe aap hī chīñ-bar-jabīñ nahīñ
maiñ ḳhud bhī sochtā huuñ ye kyā ho gayā mujhe

jis mudda.ā-e-shauq kī daryāft haiñ huzūr
māyūs kar rahā hai vahī mudda.ā mujhe

ik ziiq ik azaab ik andoh ik taḌap
tum ne ye dil ke naam se kyā de diyā mujhe

un ko gañvā ke haal rahā hai ye muddatoñ
aayā ḳhayāl bhī to baḌā ġham huā mujhe

iflās ke shabāb-e-muqaddas meñ bārhā
aayā hai pūchhne mire ghar par ḳhudā mujhe

'ehsān' apne vaqt pe maut aa.egī magar
jiine kā mashvara nahīñ detī fazā mujhe

mil mil ke doston ne wo di hai dagha mujhe
ab KHud pe bhi nahin hai guman-e-wafa mujhe

uf ibtida-e-shauq ki masum justuju
har phul tha chaman mein tera naqsh-e-pa mujhe

ai khinchne wale dekh meri be-panahiyan
aati hai dushmanon se bhi bu-e-wafa mujhe

duniya tumhein aziz hai mere siwa magar
aalam hai na-pasand tumhaare siwa mujhe

karti nahin ubur tumhein meri justuju
kya kar diya hai tum ne ye kya ho gaya mujhe

wazan bhi hans paDa hun to phir dil se muddaton
aai karahne ki sada par sada mujhe

phir baat baat mein hai lachak iltifat ki
kya phir dikhaoge koi KHwab-e-wafa mujhe

ye hai fughan ka zor to phir wo chuka qafas
kar degi meri shoala-nawai riha mujhe

kotahi-e-nazar se ahata na ho saka
milne ko yun mila hai buton mein KHuda mujhe

meri wafa pe aap hi chin-bar-jabin nahin
main KHud bhi sochta hun ye kya ho gaya mujhe

jis muddaa-e-shauq ki daryaft hain huzur
mayus kar raha hai wahi muddaa mujhe

ek ziq ek azab ek andoh ek taDap
tum ne ye dil ke nam se kya de diya mujhe

un ko ganwa ke haal raha hai ye muddaton
aaya KHayal bhi to baDa gham hua mujhe

iflas ke shabab-e-muqaddas mein barha
aaya hai puchhne mere ghar par KHuda mujhe

'ehsan' apne waqt pe maut aaegi magar
jine ka mashwara nahin deti faza mujhe
