bashar ko mashal-e-iman se aagahi na mili
bashar ko mash.al-e-īmāñ se āgahī na milī
dhuāñ vo thā ki nigāhoñ ko raushnī na milī
ḳhushī kī ma.arifat aur ġham kī āgahī na milī
jise jahāñ meñ mohabbat kī zindagī na milī
jigar na thā ki koī phāñs sī chubhī na milī
jahāñ kī ḳhaak uḌaa.ī kahīñ ḳhushī na milī
ye kah ke āḳhir-e-shab sham' ho ga.ī ḳhāmosh
kisī kī zindagī lene se zindagī na milī
laboñ pe phail ga.ī ek mauj-e-ġham aksar
bichhaḌ ke tujh se hañsī kī tarah hañsī na milī
tavāf-e-sham.a patañgoñ kā jal ke bhī hai vahī
jigar kī aag se āñkhoñ ko raushnī na milī
sabāt pā na sakegā koī nizām-e-chaman
fasurda ġhunchoñ ko jis meñ shaguftagī na milī
falak ke tāroñ se kyā duur hogī zulmat-e-shab
jab apne ghar ke charāġhoñ se raushnī na milī
abhī shabāb hai kar luuñ ḳhatā.eñ jī bhar ke
phir is maqām pe umr-e-ravāñ milī na milī
vo qāfile ki falak jin ke paañv kā thā ġhubār
rah-e-hayāt se bhaTke to gard bhī na milī
vo tīra-baḳht haqīqat meñ hai jise 'mullā'
kisī nigāh ke saa.e kī chāñdnī na milī
bashar ko mashal-e-iman se aagahi na mili
dhuan wo tha ki nigahon ko raushni na mili
KHushi ki marifat aur gham ki aagahi na mili
jise jahan mein mohabbat ki zindagi na mili
jigar na tha ki koi phans si chubhi na mili
jahan ki KHak uDai kahin KHushi na mili
ye kah ke aaKHir-e-shab sham' ho gai KHamosh
kisi ki zindagi lene se zindagi na mili
labon pe phail gai ek mauj-e-gham aksar
bichhaD ke tujh se hansi ki tarah hansi na mili
tawaf-e-shama patangon ka jal ke bhi hai wahi
jigar ki aag se aankhon ko raushni na mili
sabaat pa na sakega koi nizam-e-chaman
fasurda ghunchon ko jis mein shaguftagi na mili
falak ke taron se kya dur hogi zulmat-e-shab
jab apne ghar ke charaghon se raushni na mili
abhi shabab hai kar lun KHataen ji bhar ke
phir is maqam pe umr-e-rawan mili na mili
wo qafile ki falak jin ke panw ka tha ghubar
rah-e-hayat se bhaTke to gard bhi na mili
wo tira-baKHt haqiqat mein hai jise 'mulla'
kisi nigah ke sae ki chandni na mili
