aarzu hai main rakhun tere qadam par gar jabin
aarzū hai maiñ rakhūñ tere qadam par gar jabīñ
tū uThāve naaz se zālim lagā Thokar jabīñ
apne ghar meñ to bahut paTkā pa kuchh hāsil nahīñ
ab ke jī meñ hai tirī chaukhaT pe ro.uuñ dhar jabīñ
jaisī peshānī tirī hai ai mire ḳhurshīd-rū
chāñd kī hai raushnī meñ us se kab behtar jabīñ
shaiḳh aa jalva ḳhudā kā mai-kade meñ hai mire
kyuuñ ragaḌtā hai abas ka.abe ke tū dar par jabīñ
kyā karūñ tere qadam tak to nahīñ hai dastaras
naqsh-e-pā hī par tire maltā huuñ maiñ aksar jabīñ
shaiḳh gar shaitān se sūrat nahīñ miltī tirī
bas batā dāġhī huī hai kis tarah yaksar jabīñ
hai kisī kī bhī tirī se auñdhī peshānī bhalā
dekh tū ai shoḳh apnī aa.ina le kar jabīñ
aa ke jin hāthoñ se maltā thā tire talvoñ ke ta.iiñ
pīTtā huuñ ab inhīñ hāthoñ se maiñ aksar jabīñ
buujh kar naqsh-e-qadam ko tere mehrāb-e-duā
māñgtā huuñ maiñ murād-e-dil ko rakh is par jabīñ
chāñd kā mukhḌā hai yā ā.īna yā mus.haf kā lauh
yā tirī hai ai mire rashk-e-mah-o-aḳhtar jabīñ
saaf dil 'tābāñ' mukaddar hī kabhū hotā nahīñ
ā.īna kī haigī raushan dekh le yaksar jabīñ
aarzu hai main rakhun tere qadam par gar jabin
tu uThawe naz se zalim laga Thokar jabin
apne ghar mein to bahut paTka pa kuchh hasil nahin
ab ke ji mein hai teri chaukhaT pe roun dhar jabin
jaisi peshani teri hai ai mere KHurshid-ru
chand ki hai raushni mein us se kab behtar jabin
shaiKH aa jalwa KHuda ka mai-kade mein hai mere
kyun ragaDta hai abas kabe ke tu dar par jabin
kya karun tere qadam tak to nahin hai dastaras
naqsh-e-pa hi par tere malta hun main aksar jabin
shaiKH gar shaitan se surat nahin milti teri
bas bata daghi hui hai kis tarah yaksar jabin
hai kisi ki bhi teri se aundhi peshani bhala
dekh tu ai shoKH apni aaina le kar jabin
aa ke jin hathon se malta tha tere talwon ke tain
piTta hun ab inhin hathon se main aksar jabin
bujh kar naqsh-e-qadam ko tere mehrab-e-dua
mangta hun main murad-e-dil ko rakh is par jabin
chand ka mukhDa hai ya aaina ya mushaf ka lauh
ya teri hai ai mere rashk-e-mah-o-aKHtar jabin
saf dil 'taban' mukaddar hi kabhu hota nahin
aaina ki haigi raushan dekh le yaksar jabin
