dil si chiz ke gahak honge do ya ek hazar ke bich

dil sī chiiz ke gāhak hoñge do yā ek hazār ke biich

'inshā' jī kyā maal liye baiThe ho tum bāzār ke biich

pīnā-pilānā ain gunah hai jī kā lagānā ain havas

aap kī bāteñ sab sachchī haiñ lekin bharī bahār ke biich

ai saḳhiyo ai ḳhush-nazro yak guuna karam ḳhairāt karo

na.ara-zanāñ kuchh log phireñ haiñ sub.h se shahr-e-nigār ke biich

ḳhār-o-ḳhas-o-ḳhāshāk to jāneñ ek tujhī ko ḳhabar na mile

ai gul-e-ḳhūbī ham to abas badnām hue gulzār ke biich

minnat-e-qāsid kaun uThā.e shikva-e-darbāñ kaun kare

nāma-e-shauq ġhazal kī sūrat chhapne ko do aḳhbār ke biich

dil si chiz ke gahak honge do ya ek hazar ke bich

'insha' ji kya mal liye baiThe ho tum bazar ke bich

pina-pilana ain gunah hai ji ka lagana ain hawas

aap ki baaten sab sachchi hain lekin bhari bahaar ke bich

ai saKHiyo ai KHush-nazro yak guna karam KHairaat karo

nara-zanan kuchh log phiren hain subh se shahr-e-nigar ke bich

KHar-o-KHas-o-KHashak to jaanen ek tujhi ko KHabar na mile

ai gul-e-KHubi hum to abas badnam hue gulzar ke bich

minnat-e-qasid kaun uThae shikwa-e-darban kaun kare

nama-e-shauq ghazal ki surat chhapne ko do aKHbar ke bich
