chaman chaman hi nahin hai jo lala-zar nahin
chaman chaman hī nahīñ hai jo lāla-zār nahīñ
ham us ko dil nahīñ kahte jo dāġh-dār nahīñ
maiñ chal rahā huuñ zamāne ke saath saath magar
fazā zamāne kī phir bhī to sāzgār nahīñ
raqīb jhuuT kahegā to sach samajh loge
kaheñge sach bhī agar ham to e'tibār nahīñ
maiñ un ke husn ko ilzām dene vaalā kaun
jab apne dil pe mujhe ḳhud hī iḳhtiyār nahīñ
ab aur dekhiye tauhīn-e-ishq kyā hogī
vo kah rahe haiñ hameñ terā e'tibār nahīñ
tumhāre hijr meñ din kis qadar guzāre haiñ
koī hisāb nahīñ hai koī shumār nahīñ
tire karam ke bharose pe mutma.in huuñ maiñ
ye jāntā huuñ ki mujh sā gunāhgār nahīñ
kisī ke ruḳh pe nazar jam ke rah ga.ī shāyad
mirī nigāh meñ rañgīnī-e-bahār nahīñ
ḳhumār-e-nashā-e-hastī hai vo balā 'shañkar'
bahak rahā hai har ik koī hoshiyār nahīñ
chaman chaman hi nahin hai jo lala-zar nahin
hum us ko dil nahin kahte jo dagh-dar nahin
main chal raha hun zamane ke sath sath magar
faza zamane ki phir bhi to sazgar nahin
raqib jhuT kahega to sach samajh loge
kahenge sach bhi agar hum to e'tibar nahin
main un ke husn ko ilzam dene wala kaun
jab apne dil pe mujhe KHud hi iKHtiyar nahin
ab aur dekhiye tauhin-e-ishq kya hogi
wo kah rahe hain hamein tera e'tibar nahin
tumhaare hijr mein din kis qadar guzare hain
koi hisab nahin hai koi shumar nahin
tere karam ke bharose pe mutmain hun main
ye jaanta hun ki mujh sa gunahgar nahin
kisi ke ruKH pe nazar jam ke rah gai shayad
meri nigah mein rangini-e-bahaar nahin
KHumar-e-nasha-e-hasti hai wo bala 'shankar'
bahak raha hai har ek koi hoshiyar nahin
