bhala kab dekh sakta hun ki gham nakaam ho jae

bhalā kab dekh saktā huuñ ki ġham nākām ho jaa.e

jo ārām-e-dil-o-jāñ hai vo be-ārām ho jaa.e

mohabbat kyā agar yuuñ sūrat-e-ilzām ho jaa.e

nazar nākām aur zauq-e-nazar badnām ho jaa.e

qayāmat hai agar yuuñ zindagī nākām ho jaa.e

vo pahlū meñ na hoñ aur garmiyoñ kī shaam ho jaa.e

ġham-e-dil hai magar āḳhir ġham-e-dil kyā kahe koī

fasāna muḳhtasar ho kar jab un kā naam ho jaa.e

mohabbat rah chukī aur mātam-e-anjām baaqī hai

vo āñkheñ ashk bhar laa.eñ to apnā kaam ho jaa.e

baḌī hasrat se insāñ bachpane ko yaad kartā hai

ye phal pak kar dobāra chāhtā hai ḳhaam ho jaa.e

jiyā lekin mirā jiinā kisī ke bhī na kaam aayā

maiñ martā huuñ ki shāyad zindagī paiġhām ho jaa.e

'nushūr' ahbāb-e-ḳhush-dil ko zarā hañs bol lene do

qayāmat hai agar ehsās-e-shā.ir aam ho jaa.e

bhala kab dekh sakta hun ki gham nakaam ho jae

jo aaram-e-dil-o-jaan hai wo be-aram ho jae

mohabbat kya agar yun surat-e-ilzam ho jae

nazar nakaam aur zauq-e-nazar badnam ho jae

qayamat hai agar yun zindagi nakaam ho jae

wo pahlu mein na hon aur garmiyon ki sham ho jae

gham-e-dil hai magar aaKHir gham-e-dil kya kahe koi

fasana muKHtasar ho kar jab un ka nam ho jae

mohabbat rah chuki aur matam-e-anjam baqi hai

wo aankhen ashk bhar laen to apna kaam ho jae

baDi hasrat se insan bachpane ko yaad karta hai

ye phal pak kar dobara chahta hai KHam ho jae

jiya lekin mera jina kisi ke bhi na kaam aaya

main marta hun ki shayad zindagi paigham ho jae

'nushur' ahbab-e-KHush-dil ko zara hans bol lene do

qayamat hai agar ehsas-e-shair aam ho jae
