gham-e-afaq hai ruswa gham-e-dil-bar ban ke
ġham-e-āfāq hai rusvā ġham-e-dil-bar ban ke
tohmat-e-ishq lagī ham pe suḳhan-var ban ke
vo nahīñ maut sahī maut nahīñ niiñd sahī
koī aa jaa.e shab-e-ġham kā muqaddar ban ke
rāhbar tum ko banāyā hameñ mālūm na thā
rāh-rau raah bhaTak jaate haiñ rahbar ban ke
is ziyāñ-ḳhāne meñ ik qatre pe kyā kyā guzrī
kabhī aañsū kabhī shabnam kabhī gauhar ban ke
maut kī niiñd ke mātoñ pe na kyuuñ rashk aa.e
jāgnā hai unheñ hañgāma-e-mahshar ban ke
yaad phir aa ga.iiñ bhūlī huī bāteñ kyā kyā
phir mulāqāt huī aise muqaddar ban ke
aah ye uqda-e-ġham bazm-e-tarab meñ bhī 'hafīz'
bār-hā aañkh chhalak jaatī hai sāġhar ban ke
gham-e-afaq hai ruswa gham-e-dil-bar ban ke
tohmat-e-ishq lagi hum pe suKHan-war ban ke
wo nahin maut sahi maut nahin nind sahi
koi aa jae shab-e-gham ka muqaddar ban ke
rahbar tum ko banaya hamein malum na tha
rah-rau rah bhaTak jate hain rahbar ban ke
is ziyan-KHane mein ek qatre pe kya kya guzri
kabhi aansu kabhi shabnam kabhi gauhar ban ke
maut ki nind ke maton pe na kyun rashk aae
jagna hai unhen hangama-e-mahshar ban ke
yaad phir aa gain bhuli hui baaten kya kya
phir mulaqat hui aise muqaddar ban ke
aah ye uqda-e-gham bazm-e-tarab mein bhi 'hafiz'
bar-ha aankh chhalak jati hai saghar ban ke
