ab hai kya lakh badal chashm-e-gurezan ki tarah

ab hai kyā laakh badal chashm-e-gurezāñ kī tarah

maiñ huuñ zinda tire TuuTe hue paimāñ kī tarah

koī dastak koī aahaT na shanāsā āvāz

ḳhaak uḌtī hai dar-e-dil pe bayābāñ kī tarah

tū mirī zaat mirī ruuh mirā husn-e-kalām

dekh ab to na badal gardish-e-daurāñ kī tarah

maiñ ne jab ġhaur se dekhā to vo patthar niklā

varna vo husn nazar aatā thā insāñ kī tarah

ab maiñ kis naaz pe kah duuñ ki use kar le qubūl

dil to sad-chāk hai muflis ke garebāñ kī tarah

abhī kuchh kār-e-mohabbat hai mujhe duniyā meñ

zindagī ḳhatm na ho sohbat-e-yārāñ kī tarah

maiñ tirī bazm se niklā thā nazar kī kī sūrat

ab na yuuñ dekh mujhe dīda-e-hairāñ kī tarah

barq ban kar mire ḳhirman ko jalāne vaale

tū hī barsā thā kabhī abr-e-bahārāñ kī tarah

ab hai kya lakh badal chashm-e-gurezan ki tarah

main hun zinda tere TuTe hue paiman ki tarah

koi dastak koi aahaT na shanasa aawaz

KHak uDti hai dar-e-dil pe bayaban ki tarah

tu meri zat meri ruh mera husn-e-kalam

dekh ab to na badal gardish-e-dauran ki tarah

main ne jab ghaur se dekha to wo patthar nikla

warna wo husn nazar aata tha insan ki tarah

ab main kis naz pe kah dun ki use kar le qubul

dil to sad-chaak hai muflis ke gareban ki tarah

abhi kuchh kar-e-mohabbat hai mujhe duniya mein

zindagi KHatm na ho sohbat-e-yaran ki tarah

main teri bazm se nikla tha nazar ki ki surat

ab na yun dekh mujhe dida-e-hairan ki tarah

barq ban kar mere KHirman ko jalane wale

tu hi barsa tha kabhi abr-e-bahaaran ki tarah
