gardish-e-charḳh se qayām nahīñ
sub.h ghar meñ huuñ maiñ to shaam nahīñ

kabhī to muñh se boliye sāhab
be-dahan ho to kuchh kalām nahīñ

jāñ-ba-lab huuñ firāq-dil-bar meñ
sub.h jiitā rahā to shaam nahīñ

kis ke zulfoñ ke baal bikhre haiñ
mere nabzoñ meñ intizām nahīñ

roz-o-shab zikr-e-zulf-o-ārif hai
ye kahānī kabhī tamām nahīñ

kyā raqīboñ se maiñ jihād karūñ
mere hamrāh vo imaam nahīñ

terā dīvāna mar gayā shāyad
aaj galiyoñ meñ azhdahām nahīñ

hijr meñ ye sharāb hai tezāb
haath par aabla hai jaam nahīñ

kyā samajh kar ye naaz karte haiñ
amradoñ kā koī ġhulām nahīñ

valvale the shabāb tak apne
ab hamārī vo dhūm-dhām nahīñ

is taraf se haiñ sajde par sajde
us taraf se kabhī salām nahīñ

dil ko le kar alag hue aise
ki kabhī tum ko ham se kaam nahīñ

mauj dariyā-e-pā.emālī hai
us jafākār kā ḳhirām nahīñ

bosa le kar mazā milā mujh ko
hanzal us kā zaqan hai aam nahīñ

kis ke bal par vo shoḳh hai maġhrūr
ḳhat-e-shab-rañg fauj-e-shām nahīñ

'bahr' bahke hue haiñ ahl-e-dil
nashsha-e-āb-e-zar mudām nahīñ

gardish-e-charKH se qayam nahin
subh ghar mein hun main to sham nahin

kabhi to munh se boliye sahab
be-dahan ho to kuchh kalam nahin

jaan-ba-lab hun firaq-dil-bar mein
subh jita raha to sham nahin

kis ke zulfon ke baal bikhre hain
mere nabzon mein intizam nahin

roz-o-shab zikr-e-zulf-o-arif hai
ye kahani kabhi tamam nahin

kya raqibon se main jihad karun
mere hamrah wo imam nahin

tera diwana mar gaya shayad
aaj galiyon mein azhdaham nahin

hijr mein ye sharab hai tezab
hath par aabla hai jam nahin

kya samajh kar ye naz karte hain
amradon ka koi ghulam nahin

walwale the shabab tak apne
ab hamari wo dhum-dham nahin

is taraf se hain sajde par sajde
us taraf se kabhi salam nahin

dil ko le kar alag hue aise
ki kabhi tum ko hum se kaam nahin

mauj dariya-e-paemali hai
us jafakar ka KHiram nahin

bosa le kar maza mila mujh ko
hanzal us ka zaqan hai aam nahin

kis ke bal par wo shoKH hai maghrur
KHat-e-shab-rang fauj-e-sham nahin

'bahr' bahke hue hain ahl-e-dil
nashsha-e-ab-e-zar mudam nahin
