fariyād shikasta hai āvāz shikasta hai
ġhamgīn hai har naġhma har saaz shikasta hai
kyā ye bhī zarūrī hai anjām shikasta ho
jis kaam kā ai himmat āġhāz shikasta hai
kis vaqt qafas ke dar sayyād ne khole haiñ
jab vā.e-nasīb apnī parvāz shikasta hai
qurbān thī kal jis par rif.at bhī sitāroñ kī
kyoñ aaj vahī ham-dam shahbāz shikasta hai
pahuñchegā bhalā kaise vo apnī bulandī tak
jis murġh-e-gulistāñ kī parvāz shikasta hai
kahne ko to maiñ apne siine meñ chhupā.e huuñ
ai dost haqīqat meñ har raaz shikasta hai
arbāb-e-samā.at kī kyoñ aañkh na bhar aa.e
is dard bhare dil kī āvāz shikasta hai
kaise ho 'sharīf' apnī har ek ġhazal achchhī
taḳh.īl hai afsurda parvāz shikasta hai
fariyaad shikasta hai aawaz shikasta hai
ghamgin hai har naghma har saz shikasta hai
kya ye bhi zaruri hai anjam shikasta ho
jis kaam ka ai himmat aaghaz shikasta hai
kis waqt qafas ke dar sayyaad ne khole hain
jab wae-nasib apni parwaz shikasta hai
qurban thi kal jis par rifat bhi sitaron ki
kyon aaj wahi ham-dam shahbaz shikasta hai
pahunchega bhala kaise wo apni bulandi tak
jis murgh-e-gulistan ki parwaz shikasta hai
kahne ko to main apne sine mein chhupae hun
ai dost haqiqat mein har raaz shikasta hai
arbab-e-samaat ki kyon aankh na bhar aae
is dard bhare dil ki aawaz shikasta hai
kaise ho 'sharif' apni har ek ghazal achchhi
taKHil hai afsurda parwaz shikasta hai
