bala jaane kisi ki hijr mein is dil pe kya guzri

balā jaane kisī kī hijr meñ is dil pe kyā guzrī

kare sayyād kyuuñ parvā kisī bismil pe kyā guzrī

nisār-e-sham.a ho jaanā to parvāne kī fitrat hai

na pūchho ḳhaak hone se mire mahfil pe kyā guzrī

shabistān-e-musarrat meñ jo mahv-e-aish-o-ishrat haiñ

unheñ is kā pata kyā rahrav-e-manzil pe kyā guzrī

junūn-e-qais par hañste to haiñ aql-o-ḳhirad vaale

kise ma.alūm hai ḳhud lailī-e-mahmil pe kyā guzrī

use ai kaash ye ma.alūm ho jaa.e kisī sūrat

ki us kī be-ruḳhī se 'qādrī' ke dil pe kyā guzrī

bala jaane kisi ki hijr mein is dil pe kya guzri

kare sayyaad kyun parwa kisi bismil pe kya guzri

nisar-e-shama ho jaana to parwane ki fitrat hai

na puchho KHak hone se mere mahfil pe kya guzri

shabistan-e-musarrat mein jo mahw-e-aish-o-ishrat hain

unhen is ka pata kya rahraw-e-manzil pe kya guzri

junun-e-qais par hanste to hain aql-o-KHirad wale

kise malum hai KHud laili-e-mahmil pe kya guzri

use ai kash ye malum ho jae kisi surat

ki us ki be-ruKHi se 'qadri' ke dil pe kya guzri
