but-kada nazdik kaba dur tha
but-kada nazdīk ka.aba duur thā
maiñ idhar hī rah gayā majbūr thā
shaam hī se ham kahīñ jaate the roz
muddatoñ apnā yahī dastūr thā
vo kiyā jis meñ ḳhushī thī aap kī
vo huā jo aap ko manzūr thā
kuchh adab se rah ga.e naale idhar
kyā batā.eñ arsh kitnī duur thā
jis ghaḌī thā us ke jalve kā zuhūr
arsh kā ham-sang koh-e-tūr thā
ik hasīñ kā aa gayā jo tazkira
der tak mahfil meñ zikr-e-hūr thā
vasl kī shab thī shab-e-me.arāj kyā
duur tak phailā huā ik nuur thā
har kas-o-nā-kas se kyā miltī nigāh
apnī āñkhoñ meñ but-e-maġhrūr thā
umr bhar fikr-e-suḳhan meñ thā 'hafīz'
shā.erī kā dil meñ ik nāsūr thā
but-kada nazdik kaba dur tha
main idhar hi rah gaya majbur tha
sham hi se hum kahin jate the roz
muddaton apna yahi dastur tha
wo kiya jis mein KHushi thi aap ki
wo hua jo aap ko manzur tha
kuchh adab se rah gae nale idhar
kya bataen arsh kitni dur tha
jis ghaDi tha us ke jalwe ka zuhur
arsh ka ham-sang koh-e-tur tha
ek hasin ka aa gaya jo tazkira
der tak mahfil mein zikr-e-hur tha
wasl ki shab thi shab-e-mearaj kya
dur tak phaila hua ek nur tha
har kas-o-na-kas se kya milti nigah
apni aankhon mein but-e-maghrur tha
umr bhar fikr-e-suKHan mein tha 'hafiz'
shaeri ka dil mein ek nasur tha
