qurb nas nas mein aag bharta hai
qurb nas nas meñ aag bhartā hai
vasl se iztirāb baḌhtā hai
maiñ faqat ek ḳhvāb thā terā
ḳhvāb ko kaun yaad rakhtā hai
aaj kī shab shab-e-qayāmat hai
dil mirā be-tarah dhaḌaktā hai
faqr kyā hai ba-dost pevastan
ġham kā irfāñ hai āgahī kyā hai
maiñ milātā huuñ sher-o-ātish ko
fan mujhe kīmiyā kā aatā hai
tosha-e-rāh-e-ishq hai andoh
ġham diloñ ko qarīb laatā hai
sher-e-tāza hai tohfa-e-shā.er
mushk-e-nāfa hiran ne uglā hai
qillat-e-kulfat-o-takalluf meñ
rāhat-e-qalb-e-nā-shakebā hai
aish-e-nā-pā.edār par nāzāñ
aadmī kitnā bholā-bhālā hai
jaan kā sarfa ho to ho lekin
sarf karne se ilm baḌhtā hai
kise pās-e-marātib-e-alfāz
hashr-e-ma.anī se qatl barpā hai
pā ke ġhāfil kahīñ na Das le tumheñ
Daro us se jo tum se Dartā hai
maqsad isbāt-e-zāt hai us se
kyā gale kā sabab bhī hotā hai
sachche taḳhlīq-kār kī mānind
ūñghtā hai ḳhudā na sotā hai
āb-o-rañg-e-hayāt hai us se
aarzū jāgtoñ kā sapnā hai
mere maulā-karīm ne mujh ko
ġhair-matbūa zehn baḳhshā hai
yuuñ lage jaise parda-e-sīmīñ
aañkh kyā ruuh kā darīcha hai
kis ne dekhā hai parda-e-zulmāt
dil ke bhedoñ ko kis ne paayā hai
kaun mar kar dobāra zinda huā
kaun mulk-e-fanā se lauTā hai
kar ke yaksar mujhe nazar-andāz
kis se dil ham-kalām rahtā hai
bāvajūd-e-fishār-e-shab hama-shab
husn har sub.h taaza hotā hai
har bun-e-mū banā hai parda-e-sāz
dil ke tāroñ ko kis ne chheḌā hai
baat abdul-azīz-'ḳhālid' kī
dāstān-e-amīr-hamza hai
qurb nas nas mein aag bharta hai
wasl se iztirab baDhta hai
main faqat ek KHwab tha tera
KHwab ko kaun yaad rakhta hai
aaj ki shab shab-e-qayamat hai
dil mera be-tarah dhaDakta hai
faqr kya hai ba-dost pewastan
gham ka irfan hai aagahi kya hai
main milata hun sher-o-atish ko
fan mujhe kimiya ka aata hai
tosha-e-rah-e-ishq hai andoh
gham dilon ko qarib lata hai
sher-e-taza hai tohfa-e-shaer
mushk-e-nafa hiran ne ugla hai
qillat-e-kulfat-o-takalluf mein
rahat-e-qalb-e-na-shakeba hai
aish-e-na-paedar par nazan
aadmi kitna bhola-bhaala hai
jaan ka sarfa ho to ho lekin
sarf karne se ilm baDhta hai
kise pas-e-maraatib-e-alfaz
hashr-e-mani se qatl barpa hai
pa ke ghafil kahin na Das le tumhein
Daro us se jo tum se Darta hai
maqsad isbaat-e-zat hai us se
kya gale ka sabab bhi hota hai
sachche taKHliq-kar ki manind
unghta hai KHuda na sota hai
aab-o-rang-e-hayat hai us se
aarzu jagton ka sapna hai
mere maula-karim ne mujh ko
ghair-matbua zehn baKHsha hai
yun lage jaise parda-e-simin
aankh kya ruh ka daricha hai
kis ne dekha hai parda-e-zulmat
dil ke bhedon ko kis ne paya hai
kaun mar kar dobara zinda hua
kaun mulk-e-fana se lauTa hai
kar ke yaksar mujhe nazar-andaz
kis se dil ham-kalam rahta hai
bawajud-e-fishaar-e-shab hama-shab
husn har subh taza hota hai
har bun-e-mu bana hai parda-e-saz
dil ke taron ko kis ne chheDa hai
baat abdul-aziz-'KHalid' ki
dastan-e-amir-hamza hai
