dosti ka chalan raha hi nahin
dostī kā chalan rahā hī nahīñ
ab zamāne kī vo havā hī nahīñ
sach to ye hai sanam-kade vaalo
dil ḳhudā ne tumheñ diyā hī nahīñ
palaT aane se ho gayā sābit
nāma-bar tū vahāñ gayā hī nahīñ
haal ye hai ki ham ġharīboñ kā
haal tum ne kabhī sunā hī nahīñ
kyā chale zor dasht-e-vahshat kā
ham ne dāman kabhī siyā hī nahīñ
ġhair bhī ek din mareñge zarūr
un ke hisse meñ kyā qazā hī nahīñ
us kī sūrat ko dekhtā huuñ maiñ
merī sīrat vo dekhtā hī nahīñ
ishq merā hai shahr meñ mash.hūr
aur tum ne abhī sunā hī nahīñ
qissa-e-qais sun ke farmāyā
jhuuT kī koī intihā hī nahīñ
vāsta kis kā deñ 'hafīz' un ko
un butoñ kā koī ḳhudā hī nahīñ
dosti ka chalan raha hi nahin
ab zamane ki wo hawa hi nahin
sach to ye hai sanam-kade walo
dil KHuda ne tumhein diya hi nahin
palaT aane se ho gaya sabit
nama-bar tu wahan gaya hi nahin
haal ye hai ki hum gharibon ka
haal tum ne kabhi suna hi nahin
kya chale zor dasht-e-wahshat ka
hum ne daman kabhi siya hi nahin
ghair bhi ek din marenge zarur
un ke hisse mein kya qaza hi nahin
us ki surat ko dekhta hun main
meri sirat wo dekhta hi nahin
ishq mera hai shahr mein mashhur
aur tum ne abhi suna hi nahin
qissa-e-qais sun ke farmaya
jhuT ki koi intiha hi nahin
wasta kis ka den 'hafiz' un ko
un buton ka koi KHuda hi nahin
