KHwab girwi rakh diye aankhon ka sauda kar diya
ḳhvāb girvī rakh diye āñkhoñ kā saudā kar diyā
qarz-e-dil kyā qarz-e-jāñ bhī aaj chuktā kar diyā
ġhair ko ilzām kyuuñ deñ dost se shikva nahīñ
apne hī hāthoñ kiyā jo kuchh bhī jaisā kar diyā
kuchh ḳhabar bhī ho na paa.ī is dayār-e-ishq meñ
kaun yūsuf ho gayā kis ko zuleḳhā kar diyā
dil ke darvāze pe yādeñ shor jab banñe lagīñ
dhaḌkanoñ kā naam de kar bojh halkā kar diyā
kitne achchhe log the kyā raunaqeñ thiiñ un ke saath
jin kī ruḳhsat ne hamārā shahr suunā kar diyā
apne pyāroñ ko bachāyā dard kī har mauj se
aañkh meñ sailāb rokā dil ko dariyā kar diyā
phūl, paude, peḌ, bachche ghar kā āñgan aur tum
ḳhvāhishoñ ke naam par in sab ko yakjā kar diyā
ġham nahīñ lā-hāsilī kā ishq kā hāsil hai ye
ai hisāb-e-zindagī tujh ko to puurā kar diyā
hijr se hijrat talak har dukh se samjhautā kiyā
bhiiḌ meñ rah ke bhī maiñ ne ḳhud ko tanhā kar diyā
ye zamīñ 'hasrat' kī hai is par qadam rakkhā to phir
itnī jur.at ho ga.ī arz-e-tamannā kar diyā
KHwab girwi rakh diye aankhon ka sauda kar diya
qarz-e-dil kya qarz-e-jaan bhi aaj chukta kar diya
ghair ko ilzam kyun den dost se shikwa nahin
apne hi hathon kiya jo kuchh bhi jaisa kar diya
kuchh KHabar bhi ho na pai is dayar-e-ishq mein
kaun yusuf ho gaya kis ko zuleKHa kar diya
dil ke darwaze pe yaaden shor jab banne lagin
dhaDkanon ka nam de kar bojh halka kar diya
kitne achchhe log the kya raunaqen thin un ke sath
jin ki ruKHsat ne hamara shahr suna kar diya
apne pyaron ko bachaya dard ki har mauj se
aankh mein sailab roka dil ko dariya kar diya
phul, paude, peD, bachche ghar ka aangan aur tum
KHwahishon ke nam par in sab ko yakja kar diya
gham nahin la-hasili ka ishq ka hasil hai ye
ai hisab-e-zindagi tujh ko to pura kar diya
hijr se hijrat talak har dukh se samjhauta kiya
bhiD mein rah ke bhi main ne KHud ko tanha kar diya
ye zamin 'hasrat' ki hai is par qadam rakkha to phir
itni jurat ho gai arz-e-tamanna kar diya
