asl mein hun main mujrim maine kyun shikayat ki
asl meñ huuñ maiñ mujrim maiñ ne kyuuñ shikāyat kī
ḳhud pe bas nahīñ is kā umr hai sharārat kī
pyaar kā vahī andāz umr kā vahī āġhāz
garche haiñ mulāqāteñ us se ek muddat kī
dil-navāz ḳhat us ke zā.iqe bahut us ke
rañg phīkā phīkā hai shoḳh hai tabī.at kī
ab harīf sab us ke talḳh roz o shab us ke
kāñpte haiñ lab us ke us ne kyuuñ mohabbat kī
aag sā badan us kā āftāb sī nazreñ
kaun taab lā.egā is qadar tamāzat kī
apne band kamre meñ maiñ pighaltā jaatā huuñ
raat ko nikal aa.ī dhuup kis qayāmat kī
yaad jab bhī kartā huuñ hoñT jalne lagte haiñ
dauḌte lahū meñ haiñ garmiyāñ rifāqat kī
majlisoñ meñ yāroñ ke martabe bahut se haiñ
ek sī hai tanhā.ī ilm aur jahālat kī
maiñ havā kā jhoñkā sā apne-āp meñ gum thā
ye ḳhalā sī tanhā.ī aap ne ināyat kī
ahl-e-zar nahīñ ham log gahrī niiñd sote haiñ
din hazār lamhoñ kā raat ek saa.at kī
pūchhtā nahīñ koī tajrabe ko ab 'shahzād'
ya.anī mubtadī honā shart hai imāmat kī
asl mein hun main mujrim main ne kyun shikayat ki
KHud pe bas nahin is ka umr hai shararat ki
pyar ka wahi andaz umr ka wahi aaghaz
garche hain mulaqaten us se ek muddat ki
dil-nawaz KHat us ke zaiqe bahut us ke
rang phika phika hai shoKH hai tabiat ki
ab harif sab us ke talKH roz o shab us ke
kanpte hain lab us ke us ne kyun mohabbat ki
aag sa badan us ka aaftab si nazren
kaun tab laega is qadar tamazat ki
apne band kamre mein main pighalta jata hun
raat ko nikal aai dhup kis qayamat ki
yaad jab bhi karta hun honT jalne lagte hain
dauDte lahu mein hain garmiyan rifaqat ki
majlison mein yaron ke martabe bahut se hain
ek si hai tanhai ilm aur jahaalat ki
main hawa ka jhonka sa apne-ap mein gum tha
ye KHala si tanhai aap ne inayat ki
ahl-e-zar nahin hum log gahri nind sote hain
din hazar lamhon ka raat ek saat ki
puchhta nahin koi tajrabe ko ab 'shahzad'
yani mubtadi hona shart hai imamat ki
