baKHt-bargashta hain aise jo hawas kar dekhen

baḳht-bargashta haiñ aise jo havas kar dekheñ

ḳhaak haath aa.e agar ḳhvāb meñ bhī zar dekheñ

bad-nasībī yahī kahtī hai jahāñ zar dekheñ

idhar aa.iye aap aur koī ghar dekheñ

har-nafas kuuch hai āñkhoñ meñ hai dam misl-e-habāb

hashr par va.ada-e-dīdār hai kyūñkar dekheñ

ham vo mai-ḳhvār haiñ juz bāda-kashī raah na de

istiḳhāra bhī agar tauba-e-mai par dekheñ

putliyāñ be-ajal āñkhoñ kī mirī phir jaa.eñ

mardum-e-chashm ko de kar jo vo chakkar dekheñ

dekhnā hai jo unheñ merī siyah-kārī-e-dil

kisī shīshe meñ siyāhī ko kaho bhar dekheñ

be-qarāroñ meñ vo bekas haiñ ki ro.e na koī

ham taḌap kar bhī jo paare kī tarah mar dekheñ

sāda-rūyoñ se ye qaul-e-dil-e-be-ishq hai 'shād'

aap ai ā.ina-rū aur koī ghar dekheñ

baKHt-bargashta hain aise jo hawas kar dekhen

KHak hath aae agar KHwab mein bhi zar dekhen

bad-nasibi yahi kahti hai jahan zar dekhen

idhar aaiye aap aur koi ghar dekhen

har-nafas kuch hai aankhon mein hai dam misl-e-habab

hashr par wada-e-didar hai kyunkar dekhen

hum wo mai-KHwar hain juz baada-kashi rah na de

istiKHara bhi agar tauba-e-mai par dekhen

putliyan be-ajal aankhon ki meri phir jaen

mardum-e-chashm ko de kar jo wo chakkar dekhen

dekhna hai jo unhen meri siyah-kari-e-dil

kisi shishe mein siyahi ko kaho bhar dekhen

be-qararon mein wo bekas hain ki roe na koi

hum taDap kar bhi jo pare ki tarah mar dekhen

sada-ruyon se ye qaul-e-dil-e-be-ishq hai 'shad'

aap ai aaina-ru aur koi ghar dekhen
