charagh-e-zist bujha dil se ek dhuan nikla

charāġh-e-zīst bujhā dil se ik dhuāñ niklā

lagā ke aag mire ghar se mehmāñ niklā

dil apnā ḳhaak thā phir ḳhaak ko jalānā kyā

na koī sho.ala uThā aur na kuchh dhuāñ niklā

suneñge chheḌ ke afsāna-e-dil-e-marhūm

idhar se mulk-e-adam kā jo kārvāñ niklā

taḌap ke ābla-pā uTh khaḌe hue āḳhir

talāsh-e-yār meñ jab koī kārvāñ niklā

lahū lagā ke shahīdoñ meñ ho ga.e dāḳhil

havas to niklī magar hausla kahāñ niklā

harīm-e-nāz meñ shāyad kisī ko daḳhl nahīñ

dil aziiz bhī nā-ḳhvāñda mehmāñ niklā

nihāñ thā ḳhāna-e-dil meñ hī shāhid-e-maqsūd

jo be-nishāñ thā vo dīvār-e-darmiyāñ niklā

hai fann-e-ishq kā ustād bas dil-e-vahshī

marīz-e-ġham kā yahī ik mizāj-dāñ niklā

lagā hai dil ko ab anjām-kār kā khaTkā

bahār-e-gul se bhī ik pahlū-e-ḳhizāñ niklā

zamāna phir gayā chalne lagī havā ulTī

chaman ko aag lagā kar jo bāġhbāñ niklā

hamāre sabr kī khāte haiñ ab qasam aġhyār

jafā-kashī kā maza ba.ad-e-imtihāñ niklā

ḳhushī se ho ga.e bad-ḳhvāh mere shādī-e-marg

kafan pahan ke jo maiñ ghar se nā-gahāñ niklā

ajal se baḌh ke muhāfiz nahīñ koī apnā

ḳhudā kī shaan ki dushman nigāh-bāñ niklā

dikhāyā gor-e-sikandar ne baḌh ke ā.īna

jo sar uThā ke koī zer-e-āsmāñ niklā

lahad se baḌh ke nahīñ koī gosha-e-rāhat

qayāmat aa.ī jo is ghar se mehmāñ niklā

ab apnī ruuh hai aur sair-e-ālam-e-bālā

kueñ se yūsuf-e-gum-karda-kārvāñ niklā

kalām-e-'yās' se duniyā meñ phir ik aag lagī

ye kaun hazrat-e-'ātish' kā ham-zabāñ niklā

charagh-e-zist bujha dil se ek dhuan nikla

laga ke aag mere ghar se mehman nikla

dil apna KHak tha phir KHak ko jalana kya

na koi shoala uTha aur na kuchh dhuan nikla

sunenge chheD ke afsana-e-dil-e-marhum

idhar se mulk-e-adam ka jo karwan nikla

taDap ke aabla-pa uTh khaDe hue aaKHir

talash-e-yar mein jab koi karwan nikla

lahu laga ke shahidon mein ho gae daKHil

hawas to nikli magar hausla kahan nikla

harim-e-naz mein shayad kisi ko daKHl nahin

dil aziz bhi na-KHwanda mehman nikla

nihan tha KHana-e-dil mein hi shahid-e-maqsud

jo be-nishan tha wo diwar-e-darmiyan nikla

hai fann-e-ishq ka ustad bas dil-e-wahshi

mariz-e-gham ka yahi ek mizaj-dan nikla

laga hai dil ko ab anjam-kar ka khaTka

bahaar-e-gul se bhi ek pahlu-e-KHizan nikla

zamana phir gaya chalne lagi hawa ulTi

chaman ko aag laga kar jo baghban nikla

hamare sabr ki khate hain ab qasam aghyar

jafa-kashi ka maza baad-e-imtihan nikla

KHushi se ho gae bad-KHwah mere shadi-e-marg

kafan pahan ke jo main ghar se na-gahan nikla

ajal se baDh ke muhafiz nahin koi apna

KHuda ki shan ki dushman nigah-ban nikla

dikhaya gor-e-sikandar ne baDh ke aaina

jo sar uTha ke koi zer-e-asman nikla

lahad se baDh ke nahin koi gosha-e-rahat

qayamat aai jo is ghar se mehman nikla

ab apni ruh hai aur sair-e-alam-e-baala

kuen se yusuf-e-gum-karda-karwan nikla

kalam-e-'yas' se duniya mein phir ek aag lagi

ye kaun hazrat-e-'atish' ka ham-zaban nikla
