phir iztirāb-e-shauq meñ ġham se mafar kahāñ
vo husn-e-iltifāt vo husn-e-nazar kahāñ
tārīkī-e-hayāt se ghabrā gayā hai jī
dekheñ shab-e-firāq kī phir ho sahar kahāñ
tere baġhair mahfil-e-dil bhī udaas hai
ai husn-e-nā-shanās tujhe ye ḳhabar kahāñ
ab tak samajh rahā thā jise terī rahguzar
thā ik fareb-e-shauq tirī rahguzar kahāñ
arsa huā ki bazm-e-tamannā ujaḌ chukī
pahlī sī ab vo raunaq-e-shām-o-sahar kahāñ
jalvoñ kī taab lā na sakī dil kī aañkh bhī
phir dekhe kis tarah koī tāb-e-nazar kahāñ
ik chashm-e-lutf kā hai tirī muntazir 'kalīm'
varna jabīn-e-shauq kahāñ sañg-e-dar kahāñ
phir iztirab-e-shauq mein gham se mafar kahan
wo husn-e-iltifat wo husn-e-nazar kahan
tariki-e-hayat se ghabra gaya hai ji
dekhen shab-e-firaq ki phir ho sahar kahan
tere baghair mahfil-e-dil bhi udas hai
ai husn-e-na-shanas tujhe ye KHabar kahan
ab tak samajh raha tha jise teri rahguzar
tha ek fareb-e-shauq teri rahguzar kahan
arsa hua ki bazm-e-tamanna ujaD chuki
pahli si ab wo raunaq-e-sham-o-sahar kahan
jalwon ki tab la na saki dil ki aankh bhi
phir dekhe kis tarah koi tab-e-nazar kahan
ek chashm-e-lutf ka hai teri muntazir 'kalim'
warna jabin-e-shauq kahan sang-e-dar kahan
