koi paigham-e-mohabbat lab-e-ejaz to de

koī paiġhām-e-mohabbat lab-e-ejāz to de

maut kī aañkh bhī khul jā.egī āvāz to de

maqsad-e-ishq ham-āhañgī-e-juzv-o-kul hai

dard hī dard sahī dil bū-e-dam-sāz to de

chashm-e-maḳhmūr ke unvān-e-nazar kuchh to khuleñ

dil-e-ranjūr dhaḌakne kā kuchh andāz to de

ik zarā ho nasha-e-husn meñ andāz-e-ḳhumār

ik jhalak ishq ke anjām kī āġhāz to de

jo chhupā.e na chhupe aur batā.e na bane

dil-e-āshiq ko in āñkhoñ se koī raaz to de

muntazir itnī kabhī thī na fazā-e-āfāq

chheḌne hī ko huuñ pur-dard ġhazal saaz to de

ham asīrān-e-qafas aag lagā sakte haiñ

fursat-e-naġhma kabhī hasrat-e-parvāz to de

ishq ik baar mashiyyat ko badal saktā hai

indiya apnā magar kuchh nigah-e-nāz to de

qurb o dīdār to ma.alūm kisī kā phir bhī

kuchh pata sā falak-e-tafraqa-pardāz to de

manzileñ gard kī mānind uḌī jaatī haiñ

ablaq-e-dahr kuchh andāz-e-tag-o-tāz to de

kaan se ham to 'firāq' aañkh kā lete haiñ kaam

aaj chhup kar koī āvāz par āvāz to de

koi paigham-e-mohabbat lab-e-ejaz to de

maut ki aankh bhi khul jaegi aawaz to de

maqsad-e-ishq ham-ahangi-e-juzw-o-kul hai

dard hi dard sahi dil bu-e-dam-saz to de

chashm-e-maKHmur ke unwan-e-nazar kuchh to khulen

dil-e-ranjur dhaDakne ka kuchh andaz to de

ek zara ho nasha-e-husn mein andaz-e-KHumar

ek jhalak ishq ke anjam ki aaghaz to de

jo chhupae na chhupe aur batae na bane

dil-e-ashiq ko in aankhon se koi raaz to de

muntazir itni kabhi thi na faza-e-afaq

chheDne hi ko hun pur-dard ghazal saz to de

hum asiran-e-qafas aag laga sakte hain

fursat-e-naghma kabhi hasrat-e-parwaz to de

ishq ek bar mashiyyat ko badal sakta hai

indiya apna magar kuchh nigah-e-naz to de

qurb o didar to malum kisi ka phir bhi

kuchh pata sa falak-e-tafraqa-pardaz to de

manzilen gard ki manind uDi jati hain

ablaq-e-dahr kuchh andaz-e-tag-o-taz to de

kan se hum to 'firaq' aankh ka lete hain kaam

aaj chhup kar koi aawaz par aawaz to de
