alam maal agar hai to phir KHushi kya hai
alam ma.aal agar hai to phir ḳhushī kyā hai
koī sazā hai gunāhoñ kī zindagī kyā hai
hameñ vo yuuñ bhī bil-āḳhir miTā.eñge yuuñ bhī
sitam ke ba.ad karam bhī to hai abhī kyā hai
nizām-e-bazm-e-do-ālam hai intishār-āgīñ
nigāh-e-dost meñ āsār-e-barhamī kyā hai
kisī maqām pe bhī mutma.in nahīñ nazreñ
ziyāñ hai zauq-e-tajassus kā āgahī kyā hai
namāz-e-ishq jo shāmil nahīñ ibādat meñ
fareb-e-kufr sarāsar hai bandagī kyā hai
badal ga.ī na agar bāġhbāñ kī niyyat hī
chaman kā rañg badalne meñ der hī kyā hai
guzar ga.ī hai shab-e-ġham yaqīñ nahīñ aatā
sahar numūd nahīñ hai to raushnī kyā hai
matā-e-husn-e-do-ālam se bhī sivā kahiye
qamar-jamāl hai tasvīr aap kī kyā hai
jo sehr-e-husn kī tāsīr kā nahīñ qaa.il
tirī nazar se vo pūchhe ki sāhirī kyā hai
kisī kā husn kahāñ apnā zauq-e-dīd kahāñ
kisī ke jalvoñ se nazroñ kī hamsarī kyā hai
qadam qadam pe diyā hai fareb rahbar ne
jo rahbarī use kahiye to rahzanī kyā hai
hamāre dil pe uchaTtī nazar hī Daal kahīñ
tujhe ḳhabar to chale soz-e-āshiqī kyā hai
hamīñ ne dil meñ jagah dī hameñ pe mashq-e-sitam
ye dostī hai to ai dost dushmanī kyā hai
bahār aa.ī hai ab aap bhī chale aa.eñ
bahār ko bhī ḳhabar ho shaguftagī kyā hai
vafā kā naam baḌā ho to ho 'rishī' varna
jafā-e-dost meñ bhī lutf kī kamī kyā hai
alam maal agar hai to phir KHushi kya hai
koi saza hai gunahon ki zindagi kya hai
hamein wo yun bhi bil-aKHir miTaenge yun bhi
sitam ke baad karam bhi to hai abhi kya hai
nizam-e-bazm-e-do-alam hai intishaar-agin
nigah-e-dost mein aasar-e-barhami kya hai
kisi maqam pe bhi mutmain nahin nazren
ziyan hai zauq-e-tajassus ka aagahi kya hai
namaz-e-ishq jo shamil nahin ibaadat mein
fareb-e-kufr sarasar hai bandagi kya hai
badal gai na agar baghban ki niyyat hi
chaman ka rang badalne mein der hi kya hai
guzar gai hai shab-e-gham yaqin nahin aata
sahar numud nahin hai to raushni kya hai
mata-e-husn-e-do-alam se bhi siwa kahiye
qamar-jamal hai taswir aap ki kya hai
jo sehr-e-husn ki tasir ka nahin qail
teri nazar se wo puchhe ki sahiri kya hai
kisi ka husn kahan apna zauq-e-did kahan
kisi ke jalwon se nazron ki hamsari kya hai
qadam qadam pe diya hai fareb rahbar ne
jo rahbari use kahiye to rahzani kya hai
hamare dil pe uchaTti nazar hi Dal kahin
tujhe KHabar to chale soz-e-ashiqi kya hai
hamin ne dil mein jagah di hamein pe mashq-e-sitam
ye dosti hai to ai dost dushmani kya hai
bahaar aai hai ab aap bhi chale aaen
bahaar ko bhi KHabar ho shaguftagi kya hai
wafa ka nam baDa ho to ho 'rishi' warna
jafa-e-dost mein bhi lutf ki kami kya hai
