gard-alud darida chehra yun hai mah o sal ke baad
gard-ālūd darīda chehra yuuñ hai maah o saal ke ba.ad
jaise falak bārish se pahle jaise zamīñ bhauñchāl ke ba.ad
murda logoñ kī bastī meñ suntā huuñ āvāzeñ sī
jaise maqtal kā sannāTā bole aam qitāl ke ba.ad
hijr to pahle bhī aayā thā lekin ab vahshat hai aur
chaltī havā se laḌte haiñ ham ek parī-timsāl ke ba.ad
bhar jā.eñgī jis dam shāḳheñ sabz mahakte pattoñ se
jogī aate jaate mausam lauTeñge phir saal ke ba.ad
raat badan yuuñ lau dete the jaise sandal jaltā ho
lekin dil-e-dīvāna chāhe aur bhī kuchh ho visāl ke ba.ad
gar socheñ to hijr-zadoñ ne yuuñ bhī paa.ī umr baḌī
uTThe dil meñ dard se pahle baiThe gard malāl ke ba.ad
kaun se dukh ko palle bāñdheñ kis ġham ko tahrīr kareñ
yaañ to dard sivā hotā hai aur bhī arz-e-hāl ke ba.ad
gard-alud darida chehra yun hai mah o sal ke baad
jaise falak barish se pahle jaise zamin bhaunchaal ke baad
murda logon ki basti mein sunta hun aawazen si
jaise maqtal ka sannaTa bole aam qital ke baad
hijr to pahle bhi aaya tha lekin ab wahshat hai aur
chalti hawa se laDte hain hum ek pari-timsal ke baad
bhar jaengi jis dam shaKHen sabz mahakte patton se
jogi aate jate mausam lauTenge phir sal ke baad
raat badan yun lau dete the jaise sandal jalta ho
lekin dil-e-diwana chahe aur bhi kuchh ho visal ke baad
gar sochen to hijr-zadon ne yun bhi pai umr baDi
uTThe dil mein dard se pahle baiThe gard malal ke baad
kaun se dukh ko palle bandhen kis gham ko tahrir karen
yan to dard siwa hota hai aur bhi arz-e-haal ke baad
