aa ki hasti be-lab-o-be-gosh hai tere baghair

aa ki hastī be-lab-o-be-gosh hai tere baġhair

kā.enāt ik mahshar-e-ḳhāmosh hai tere baġhair

aa ki phir dil meñ nahīñ uThtī koī mauj-e-nashāt

sard paanī bāda-e-sar-josh hai tere baġhair

niiñd aa aa kar uchaT jaatī hai terī yaad meñ

tār-e-bistar nashtar-e-āġhosh hai tere baġhair

jalva-e-har-roz jo har sub.h kī qismat meñ thā

ab vo ik dhuñdlā sā ḳhvāb-e-dosh hai tere baġhair

zindagī tujh se 'ibārat thī magar jab tū nahīñ

zindagī kā apnī kis ko hosh hai tere baġhair

aa ki mauzū-e-ġhazal ko DhūñDhtī hai har nigāh

naġhma-e-mutrib balā-e-gosh hai tere baġhair

kyā ḳhabar 'sīmāb' kab ghabrā ke de de apnī jaan

zabt go ab tak tahammul-kosh hai tere baġhair

aa ki hasti be-lab-o-be-gosh hai tere baghair

kaenat ek mahshar-e-KHamosh hai tere baghair

aa ki phir dil mein nahin uThti koi mauj-e-nashat

sard pani baada-e-sar-josh hai tere baghair

nind aa aa kar uchaT jati hai teri yaad mein

tar-e-bistar nashtar-e-aghosh hai tere baghair

jalwa-e-har-roz jo har subh ki qismat mein tha

ab wo ek dhundla sa KHwab-e-dosh hai tere baghair

zindagi tujh se 'ibarat thi magar jab tu nahin

zindagi ka apni kis ko hosh hai tere baghair

aa ki mauzu-e-ghazal ko DhunDhti hai har nigah

naghma-e-mutrib bala-e-gosh hai tere baghair

kya KHabar 'simab' kab ghabra ke de de apni jaan

zabt go ab tak tahammul-kosh hai tere baghair
