ada se aaD mein KHanjar ke munh chhupae hue

adā se aaḌ meñ ḳhanjar ke muñh chhupā.e hue

mirī qazā ko vo laa.e dulhan banā.e hue

ilāhī kyuuñ nahīñ hotī koī balā nāzil

asar hai der se dast-e-duā uThā.e hue

tirī lagā.ī huī aag hashr tak na bujhī

hue na mar ke bhī ThanDe tire jalā.e hue

balā-e-jāñ hai magar phir bhī aarzū hai tirī

ham us ko apne kaleje se haiñ lagā.e hue

sahar huī ki vo yādash-ba-ḳhair aatā hai

charāġh haiñ mirī turbat ke jhilmilā.e hue

tumhīñ kaho ki tumheñ apnā samajh ke kyā paayā

magar yahī ki jo apne the sab parā.e hue

kisī kā haa.e vo maqtal meñ is tarah aanā

nazar bachā.e hue āstīñ chaḌhā.e hue

ajal ko muzhda-e-fursat ki aaj 'fānī'-e-zār

umīd-e-vasl se baiThā hai lau lagā.e hue

ada se aaD mein KHanjar ke munh chhupae hue

meri qaza ko wo lae dulhan banae hue

ilahi kyun nahin hoti koi bala nazil

asar hai der se dast-e-dua uThae hue

teri lagai hui aag hashr tak na bujhi

hue na mar ke bhi ThanDe tere jalae hue

bala-e-jaan hai magar phir bhi aarzu hai teri

hum us ko apne kaleje se hain lagae hue

sahar hui ki wo yaadash-ba-KHair aata hai

charagh hain meri turbat ke jhilmilae hue

tumhin kaho ki tumhein apna samajh ke kya paya

magar yahi ki jo apne the sab parae hue

kisi ka hae wo maqtal mein is tarah aana

nazar bachae hue aastin chaDhae hue

ajal ko muzhda-e-fursat ki aaj 'fani'-e-zar

umid-e-wasl se baiTha hai lau lagae hue
