falak deta hai jinko aish un ko gham bhi hote hain

falak detā hai jin ko aish un ko ġham bhī hote haiñ

jahāñ bajte haiñ naqqāre vahīñ mātam bhī hote haiñ

gile shikve kahāñ tak hoñge aadhī raat to guzrī

pareshāñ tum bhī hote ho pareshāñ ham bhī hote haiñ

jo rakkhe chārāgar kāfūr duunī aag lag jaa.e

kahīñ ye zaḳhm-e-dil sharminda-e-marham bhī hote haiñ

vo āñkheñ sāmrī-fan haiñ vo lab īsā-nafas dekho

mujhī par sehr hote haiñ mujhī par dam bhī hote haiñ

zamāna dostī par in hasīnoñ kī na itrā.e

ye ālam-dost aksar dushman-e-ālam bhī hote haiñ

ba-zāhir rahnumā haiñ aur dil meñ bad-gumānī hai

tire kūche meñ jo jaatā hai aage ham bhī hote haiñ

hamāre āñsuoñ kī ābdārī aur hī kuchh hai

ki yuuñ hone ko raushan gauhar-e-shabnam bhī hote haiñ

ḳhudā ke ghar meñ kyā hai kaam zāhid bāda-ḳhvāroñ kā

jinheñ miltī nahīñ vo tishna-e-zamzam bhī hote haiñ

hamāre saath hī paidā huā hai ishq ai nāseh

judā.ī kis tarah se ho judā tavām bhī hote haiñ

nahīñ ghaTtī shab-e-furqat bhī aksar ham ne dekhā hai

jo baḌh jaate haiñ had se vo hī ghaT kar kam bhī hote haiñ

bachā.ūñ pairahan kyā chārāgar maiñ dast-e-vahshat se

kahīñ aise garebāñ dāman-e-maryam bhī hote haiñ

tabī.at kī kajī hargiz miTā.e se nahīñ miTtī

kabhī sīdhe tumhāre gesu-e-pur-ḳham bhī hote haiñ

jo kahtā huuñ ki martā huuñ to farmāte haiñ mar jaao

jo ġhash aatā hai to mujh par hazāroñ dam bhī hote haiñ

kisī kā vāda-e-dīdār to ai 'dāġh' bar-haq hai

magar ye dekhiye dil-shād us din ham bhī hote haiñ

falak deta hai jin ko aish un ko gham bhi hote hain

jahan bajte hain naqqare wahin matam bhi hote hain

gile shikwe kahan tak honge aadhi raat to guzri

pareshan tum bhi hote ho pareshan hum bhi hote hain

jo rakkhe chaaragar kafur duni aag lag jae

kahin ye zaKHm-e-dil sharminda-e-marham bhi hote hain

wo aankhen samri-fan hain wo lab isa-nafas dekho

mujhi par sehr hote hain mujhi par dam bhi hote hain

zamana dosti par in hasinon ki na itrae

ye aalam-dost aksar dushman-e-alam bhi hote hain

ba-zahir rahnuma hain aur dil mein bad-gumani hai

tere kuche mein jo jata hai aage hum bhi hote hain

hamare aansuon ki aabdari aur hi kuchh hai

ki yun hone ko raushan gauhar-e-shabnam bhi hote hain

KHuda ke ghar mein kya hai kaam zahid baada-KHwaron ka

jinhen milti nahin wo tishna-e-zamzam bhi hote hain

hamare sath hi paida hua hai ishq ai naseh

judai kis tarah se ho juda tawam bhi hote hain

nahin ghaTti shab-e-furqat bhi aksar hum ne dekha hai

jo baDh jate hain had se wo hi ghaT kar kam bhi hote hain

bachaun pairahan kya chaaragar main dast-e-wahshat se

kahin aise gareban daman-e-maryam bhi hote hain

tabiat ki kaji hargiz miTae se nahin miTti

kabhi sidhe tumhaare gesu-e-pur-KHam bhi hote hain

jo kahta hun ki marta hun to farmate hain mar jao

jo ghash aata hai to mujh par hazaron dam bhi hote hain

kisi ka wada-e-didar to ai 'dagh' bar-haq hai

magar ye dekhiye dil-shad us din hum bhi hote hain
