aao dekhen ahl-e-wafa ki hoti hai tauqir kahan
aao dekheñ ahl-e-vafā kī hotī hai tauqīr kahāñ
kis mahfil kā naam hai maqtal khiñchtī hai shamshīr kahāñ
chhūT na pāoge dil vaalo chāhat ke is zindāñ se
chāho to dil TuuT bhī jaa.eñ TūTegī zanjīr kahāñ
chashm-e-sahar meñ aas umiid kyā aañsū kī ik buuñd nahīñ
yuuñ dāman phailā.e chale haiñ rātoñ ke rahgīr kahāñ
sadiyoñ ke pahchāne ḳhvāboñ se bojhal in āñkhoñ ko
anjāne ḳhvāboñ ke shahr meñ le aa.ī ta.abīr kahāñ
ik vīrāna ek shajar kuchh saa.e do pyāsī āñkheñ
dekheñ sajegī din ke makān meñ raat kī ye tasvīr kahāñ
vaqt kā dariyā le bhī gayā vo sab jo dil-o-jāñ se thā aziiz
DhūñDh rahe ho sāhil par ab aañsū kī tahrīr kahāñ
aao dekhen ahl-e-wafa ki hoti hai tauqir kahan
kis mahfil ka nam hai maqtal khinchti hai shamshir kahan
chhuT na paoge dil walo chahat ke is zindan se
chaho to dil TuT bhi jaen TuTegi zanjir kahan
chashm-e-sahar mein aas umid kya aansu ki ek bund nahin
yun daman phailae chale hain raaton ke rahgir kahan
sadiyon ke pahchane KHwabon se bojhal in aankhon ko
anjaane KHwabon ke shahr mein le aai tabir kahan
ek virana ek shajar kuchh sae do pyasi aankhen
dekhen sajegi din ke makan mein raat ki ye taswir kahan
waqt ka dariya le bhi gaya wo sab jo dil-o-jaan se tha aziz
DhunDh rahe ho sahil par ab aansu ki tahrir kahan
