ab jam nigahon ke nasha kyun nahin dete
ab jaam nigāhoñ ke nasha kyuuñ nahīñ dete
ab bol mohabbat ke mazā kyuuñ nahīñ dete
tum khol ke zulfoñ ko uḌā kyuuñ nahīñ dete
tum shaan ghaTāoñ kī ghaTā kyuuñ nahīñ dete
ik ghūñT kī ummīd samundar se nahīñ jab
phir aag samundar meñ lagā kyuuñ nahīñ dete
hai muntazir-e-hashr bahut der se duniyā
ghuñghrū tire pairoñ ke sadā kyuuñ nahīñ dete
ye dhuup rahegī to ye rusvā.ī karegī
sūraj ko gunahgār bujhā kyuuñ nahīñ dete
tum dūsre logoñ pe na rakkhā karo ilzām
har baat meñ tum merī ḳhatā kyuuñ nahīñ dete
qātil kā hai kyā naam ye sab pūchh rahe haiñ
kyā ham bhī haiñ hamnām batā kyuuñ nahīñ dete
tum ko mire andāz-e-vafā se hai shikāyat
tum mujh ko vafā kar ke dikhā kyuuñ nahīñ dete
jo log 'alīm' apnī jagah miir bane haiñ
ash.ār ko vo tarz-e-adā kyuuñ nahīñ dete
ab jam nigahon ke nasha kyun nahin dete
ab bol mohabbat ke maza kyun nahin dete
tum khol ke zulfon ko uDa kyun nahin dete
tum shan ghaTaon ki ghaTa kyun nahin dete
ek ghunT ki ummid samundar se nahin jab
phir aag samundar mein laga kyun nahin dete
hai muntazir-e-hashr bahut der se duniya
ghunghru tere pairon ke sada kyun nahin dete
ye dhup rahegi to ye ruswai karegi
suraj ko gunahgar bujha kyun nahin dete
tum dusre logon pe na rakkha karo ilzam
har baat mein tum meri KHata kyun nahin dete
qatil ka hai kya nam ye sab puchh rahe hain
kya hum bhi hain hamnam bata kyun nahin dete
tum ko mere andaz-e-wafa se hai shikayat
tum mujh ko wafa kar ke dikha kyun nahin dete
jo log 'alim' apni jagah mir bane hain
ashaar ko wo tarz-e-ada kyun nahin dete
