agar hum na the gham uThane ke qabil
agar ham na the ġham uThāne ke qābil
to kyuuñ hote duniyā meñ aane ke qābil
karūñ chaak siina to sau baar lekin
nahīñ daaġh dil ye dikhāne ke qābil
mileñ tum se kyūñkar rahe hī nahīñ ham
bulāne ke qābil na aane ke qābil
chhuTe bhī qafas se to kis kaam ke haiñ
nahīñ jab chaman tak bhī jaane ke qābil
ba-juz us ke the ḳhaak pahle bhī ai charḳh
na the ḳhaak meñ phir milāne ke qābil
kiyā tark-e-duniyā maiñ jab to ye samjhe
ki duniyā nahīñ dil lagāne ke qābil
vo aa.e dam-e-naz.a kyā kah sakeñ
nahīñ hoñT tak bhī hilāne ke qābil
ḳhudāyā ye rañj aur ye nā-subūrī
na the ham to is āzmāne ke qābil
rahe ham na kuchh mustafā-ḳhāñ ke ġham meñ
na fikr-e-suḳhan ne paḌhāne ke qābil
na chhoḌeñge mahbūb-e-ilāhī ke dar ko
nahīñ go ham is āstāne ke qābil
hameñ qaid karne se kyā naf.a sayyād
na the daam meñ ham to laane ke qābil
na baal munaqqash na par-hā-e-rañgīñ
na āvāz-e-ḳhush ke sunāne ke qābil
hue haiñ vo nā-qqabiloñ meñ shumār ab
jinheñ mānte the zamāne ke qābil
vo 'āzurdā' jo ḳhush-bayāñ the nahīñ ab
ishāre se bhī kuchh batāne ke qābil
agar hum na the gham uThane ke qabil
to kyun hote duniya mein aane ke qabil
karun chaak sina to sau bar lekin
nahin dagh dil ye dikhane ke qabil
milen tum se kyunkar rahe hi nahin hum
bulane ke qabil na aane ke qabil
chhuTe bhi qafas se to kis kaam ke hain
nahin jab chaman tak bhi jaane ke qabil
ba-juz us ke the KHak pahle bhi ai charKH
na the KHak mein phir milane ke qabil
kiya tark-e-duniya main jab to ye samjhe
ki duniya nahin dil lagane ke qabil
wo aae dam-e-naza kya kah saken
nahin honT tak bhi hilane ke qabil
KHudaya ye ranj aur ye na-suburi
na the hum to is aazmane ke qabil
rahe hum na kuchh mustafa-KHan ke gham mein
na fikr-e-suKHan ne paDhane ke qabil
na chhoDenge mahbub-e-ilahi ke dar ko
nahin go hum is aastane ke qabil
hamein qaid karne se kya nafa sayyaad
na the dam mein hum to lane ke qabil
na baal munaqqash na par-ha-e-rangin
na aawaz-e-KHush ke sunane ke qabil
hue hain wo na-qqabilon mein shumar ab
jinhen mante the zamane ke qabil
wo 'azurda' jo KHush-bayan the nahin ab
ishaare se bhi kuchh batane ke qabil
