chehre se kab ayaañ hai mire iztirār bhī
lekin maiñ kar rahā huuñ tirā intizār bhī

shāyad tujhe ho dastaras apne vajūd par
mujh ko to is nazar pe nahīñ iḳhtiyār bhī

milne lage haiñ ab to ḳhushī ke libās meñ
ġham-hā-e-zindagī kā hai koī shumār bhī

ho laakh ḳhūb-rū koī apne ta.iiñ magar
hotā hai aks-o-ā.ine par inhisār bhī

yakjā huī haiñ husn kī sab us meñ ḳhūbiyāñ
chehre pe tāzgī hai nazar meñ ḳhumār bhī

lagtā hai jān-būjh ke aisā kiyā gayā
tū ne banā.ī chiiz koī pā.edār bhī

mahzūz ham bhī hoñge jo fursat kahīñ mile
gulshan bhī hai gulāb bhī rañg-e-bahār bhī

chehre se kab ayan hai mere iztirar bhi
lekin main kar raha hun tera intizar bhi

shayad tujhe ho dastaras apne wajud par
mujh ko to is nazar pe nahin iKHtiyar bhi

milne lage hain ab to KHushi ke libas mein
gham-ha-e-zindagi ka hai koi shumar bhi

ho lakh KHub-ru koi apne tain magar
hota hai aks-o-aine par inhisar bhi

yakja hui hain husn ki sab us mein KHubiyan
chehre pe tazgi hai nazar mein KHumar bhi

lagta hai jaan-bujh ke aisa kiya gaya
tu ne banai chiz koi paedar bhi

mahzuz hum bhi honge jo fursat kahin mile
gulshan bhi hai gulab bhi rang-e-bahaar bhi
