dawa-e-dard-e-gham-o-iztirab kya deta
davā-e-dard-e-ġham-o-iztirāb kyā detā
vo merī āñkhoñ ko rañgīn ḳhvāb kyā detā
thī merī āñkhoñ kī qismat meñ tishnagī likkhī
vo apnī diid kī mujh ko sharāb kyā detā
kiyā savāl jo maiñ ne vafā ke qātil se
zabāñ pe qufl lagā thā javāb kyā detā
maiñ chāhtā thā ki us ko gulāb pesh karūñ
vo ḳhud gulāb thā us ko gulāb kyā detā
vo jis ne dekhā nahīñ ishq kā kabhī maktab
maiñ us ke haath meñ dil kī kitāb kyā detā
mire nasīb meñ miTTī kā ik diyā bhī na thā
tirī hathelī pe maiñ āftāb kyā detā
maiñ us se pyaas kā shikva na kar sakā 'afzal'
jo ḳhud hī tishna thā vo mujh ko aab kyā detā
dawa-e-dard-e-gham-o-iztirab kya deta
wo meri aankhon ko rangin KHwab kya deta
thi meri aankhon ki qismat mein tishnagi likkhi
wo apni did ki mujh ko sharab kya deta
kiya sawal jo main ne wafa ke qatil se
zaban pe qufl laga tha jawab kya deta
main chahta tha ki us ko gulab pesh karun
wo KHud gulab tha us ko gulab kya deta
wo jis ne dekha nahin ishq ka kabhi maktab
main us ke hath mein dil ki kitab kya deta
mere nasib mein miTTi ka ek diya bhi na tha
teri hatheli pe main aaftab kya deta
main us se pyas ka shikwa na kar saka 'afzal'
jo KHud hi tishna tha wo mujh ko aab kya deta
