aap bik jae koi aisa KHaridar na tha

aap bik jaa.e koī aisā ḳharīdār na thā

mere yūsuf ke liye misr kā bāzār na thā

ḳhuuñ huā ashk banā aur mizha se Tapkā

dil ki lazzat-kash-e-rañgīnī-e-inkār na thā

mubtalā huuñ tirā jab se sanam-e-kufr-farosh

zulf-e-tā-dosh na thī dosh pe zunnār na thā

qissa-e-tūr kabhī gosh-e-haqīqat se suno

shauq-e-dīdār ba-juz hasrat-e-dīdār na thā

ġhāza-e-chehra-e-gul naqsh-o-nigār-e-hastī

koī qatra dil-e-ḳhūñ-gashta kā bekār na thā

le ga.ī vahshat-e-dil kal mujhe us aalam meñ

besh-az-nuqta jahāñ gumbad-e-dvvār na thā

lazzat-e-dard se vāqif thā dil-e-zār 'asar'

varna mar jaanā tire hijr meñ dushvār na thā

aap bik jae koi aisa KHaridar na tha

mere yusuf ke liye misr ka bazar na tha

KHun hua ashk bana aur mizha se Tapka

dil ki lazzat-kash-e-rangini-e-inkar na tha

mubtala hun tera jab se sanam-e-kufr-farosh

zulf-e-ta-dosh na thi dosh pe zunnar na tha

qissa-e-tur kabhi gosh-e-haqiqat se suno

shauq-e-didar ba-juz hasrat-e-didar na tha

ghaza-e-chehra-e-gul naqsh-o-nigar-e-hasti

koi qatra dil-e-KHun-gashta ka bekar na tha

le gai wahshat-e-dil kal mujhe us aalam mein

besh-az-nuqta jahan gumbad-e-dwwar na tha

lazzat-e-dard se waqif tha dil-e-zar 'asar'

warna mar jaana tere hijr mein dushwar na tha
