bhīgī palkeñ shauq kā aalam vaqt kā dhārā kyā nahīñ dekhā
hañste aañsū talḳh tabassum mīThā ġhussa kyā nahīñ dekhā

chhalnī siine raushan chehre ḳhūnīñ āñkheñ rañgīñ dāman
ThanDī aaheñ vīrāñ nazreñ hashr-e-tamannā kyā nahīñ dekhā

raah pe pahre nutq pe qadġhan shauq kī yūrish dil kī dhaḌkan
boltī nazreñ bojhal palkeñ ġhamgīñ chehra kyā nahīñ dekhā

sotī qismat jāgte insāñ ujḌī bastī sham-e-farozāñ
jhūTe qisse ulTī tohmat baat kā banñā kyā nahīñ dekhā

bikhrī zulfeñ uljhī bāteñ aañkh meñ shoḳhī lab pe tabassum
khaltī kaliyāñ jhūmtī Daalī hashr sarāpā kyā nahīñ dekhā

bazm-e-charāġhāñ jhūTī ḳhushiyāñ naḳhvat-e-sāqī tishna-dahānī
gardish-e-sāġhar ālam-e-mastī tundī-e-sabā kyā nahīñ dekhā

phuul sī bāheñ larzāñ siina saañs ulajhte bholī bāteñ
nīchī nazreñ pahlī laġhzish dil kā taqāzā kyā nahīñ dekhā

'yāvar' ham ko pā na sakoge jaise ab haiñ aise kab the
dil kī nazākat jurm-e-mohabbat kufr-e-tamannā kyā nahīñ dekhā

aaj bhī 'yāvar' hañste hañste aañkh meñ aañsū aa jaate haiñ
dard kī maujeñ ḳhuun kī lahreñ aag kā dariyā kyā nahīñ dekhā

bhigi palken shauq ka aalam waqt ka dhaara kya nahin dekha
hanste aansu talKH tabassum miTha ghussa kya nahin dekha

chhalni sine raushan chehre KHunin aankhen rangin daman
ThanDi aahen viran nazren hashr-e-tamanna kya nahin dekha

rah pe pahre nutq pe qadghan shauq ki yurish dil ki dhaDkan
bolti nazren bojhal palken ghamgin chehra kya nahin dekha

soti qismat jagte insan ujDi basti sham-e-farozan
jhuTe qisse ulTi tohmat baat ka banna kya nahin dekha

bikhri zulfen uljhi baaten aankh mein shoKHi lab pe tabassum
khalti kaliyan jhumti Dali hashr sarapa kya nahin dekha

bazm-e-charaghan jhuTi KHushiyan naKHwat-e-saqi tishna-dahani
gardish-e-saghar aalam-e-masti tundi-e-saba kya nahin dekha

phul si bahen larzan sina sans ulajhte bholi baaten
nichi nazren pahli laghzish dil ka taqaza kya nahin dekha

'yawar' hum ko pa na sakoge jaise ab hain aise kab the
dil ki nazakat jurm-e-mohabbat kufr-e-tamanna kya nahin dekha

aaj bhi 'yawar' hanste hanste aankh mein aansu aa jate hain
dard ki maujen KHun ki lahren aag ka dariya kya nahin dekha
