hath rakhte hi tha haal-e-qalb-e-muztar aaina

haath rakhte hī thā hāl-e-qalb-e-muztar ā.īna

dast-e-nāzuk hai hasīnoñ kā muqarrar ā.īna

ban gayā ġhammāz shakl un kī dikhā kar ā.īna

jo hamārā rāz-e-dil thā ab hai un par ā.īna

toḌ kar dil tum ne khoyā imtiyāz-e-husn bhī

ik tumhāre paas thā yā ab hai ghar ghar ā.īna

dekhnā hai kis meñ achchhī shakl aatī hai nazar

us ne rakkhā hai mire dil ke barābar ā.īna

aa.ina rakkho lo ki duunā lutf aa.e vaqt-e-rañj

is taraf tum us taraf khīñche ho ḳhanjar ā.īna

'aks se apne kisī ke garm-joshī qahr thī

rah gayā āḳhir pasīne meñ nahā kar ā.īna

shauq-e-ḳhud-bīnī sitam nīñdeñ javānī kī ġhazab

be-ḳhabar sote haiñ vo rakkhā hai muñh par ā.īna

shoḳhiyoñ se ban gayā bijlī kisī kā 'aks bhī

ab to hāthoñ se nikaltā hai taḌap kar ā.īna

yuuñ kahāñ mumkin thā husn-e-ḳhās kā dīdār-e-ām

ban ga.ī āḳhir sarāpā sub.h-e-mahshar ā.īna

dekh leñ shāyad 'nazar' vo dīda-e-insāf se

le chalo TuuTe hue dil kā banā kar ā.īna

hath rakhte hi tha haal-e-qalb-e-muztar aaina

dast-e-nazuk hai hasinon ka muqarrar aaina

ban gaya ghammaz shakl un ki dikha kar aaina

jo hamara raaz-e-dil tha ab hai un par aaina

toD kar dil tum ne khoya imtiyaz-e-husn bhi

ek tumhaare pas tha ya ab hai ghar ghar aaina

dekhna hai kis mein achchhi shakl aati hai nazar

us ne rakkha hai mere dil ke barabar aaina

aaina rakkho lo ki duna lutf aae waqt-e-ranj

is taraf tum us taraf khinche ho KHanjar aaina

'aks se apne kisi ke garm-joshi qahr thi

rah gaya aaKHir pasine mein naha kar aaina

shauq-e-KHud-bini sitam ninden jawani ki ghazab

be-KHabar sote hain wo rakkha hai munh par aaina

shoKHiyon se ban gaya bijli kisi ka 'aks bhi

ab to hathon se nikalta hai taDap kar aaina

yun kahan mumkin tha husn-e-KHas ka didar-e-am

ban gai aaKHir sarapa subh-e-mahshar aaina

dekh len shayad 'nazar' wo dida-e-insaf se

le chalo TuTe hue dil ka bana kar aaina
