lagi hai bhiD baDa mai-kade ka nam bhi hai
lagī hai bhiiḌ baḌā mai-kade kā naam bhī hai
kuchh is meñ ḳhūb-e-rindān-e-tishna-kām bhī hai
junūn-e-shauq ne dil ko kiyā tabāh magar
kuchh is meñ tere taġhāful kā ehtimām bhī hai
kitāb-e-zīst hai yaksar hikāyat-e-ġham-e-dil
hikāyat-e-ġham-e-dil harf-e-nā-tamām bhī hai
sukūn-e-ahl-e-ḳharābāt-e-ishq kyā kahiye
rukī rukī sī yahāñ umr-e-tez-gām bhī hai
butān-e-shahr ham ahl-e-vafā se haiñ be-zār
butān-e-shahr ko ahl-e-vafā se kaam bhī hai
vo shaḳhs apnī jagah hai muraqqa-e-tahzīb
ye aur baat hai ki qātil usī kā naam bhī hai
charāġh-e-sub.h kī afsurdagī nahīñ tanhā
kahīñ qarīb yahīñ āftāb-e-shām bhī hai
dar-e-sanam pa ruke haiñ magar ba-zer-e-qadam
hazār silsila-e-gardish-e-mudām bhī hai
jo ḳhalvatoñ meñ sukūt-āshnā rahā sadiyoñ
vahī 'ravish' se sar-e-bazm ham-kalām bhī hai
lagi hai bhiD baDa mai-kade ka nam bhi hai
kuchh is mein KHub-e-rindan-e-tishna-kaam bhi hai
junun-e-shauq ne dil ko kiya tabah magar
kuchh is mein tere taghaful ka ehtimam bhi hai
kitab-e-zist hai yaksar hikayat-e-gham-e-dil
hikayat-e-gham-e-dil harf-e-na-tamam bhi hai
sukun-e-ahl-e-KHarabaat-e-ishq kya kahiye
ruki ruki si yahan umr-e-tez-gam bhi hai
butan-e-shahr hum ahl-e-wafa se hain be-zar
butan-e-shahr ko ahl-e-wafa se kaam bhi hai
wo shaKHs apni jagah hai muraqqa-e-tahzib
ye aur baat hai ki qatil usi ka nam bhi hai
charagh-e-subh ki afsurdagi nahin tanha
kahin qarib yahin aaftab-e-sham bhi hai
dar-e-sanam pa ruke hain magar ba-zer-e-qadam
hazar silsila-e-gardish-e-mudam bhi hai
jo KHalwaton mein sukut-ashna raha sadiyon
wahi 'rawish' se sar-e-bazm ham-kalam bhi hai
