gham hai kanTon ka na andesha bayabanon ka
ġham hai kāñToñ kā na andesha bayābānoñ kā
ishq hai rāh-numā aaj bhī dīvānoñ kā
ruuh tārīk nazar kor mohabbat se gurez
kyā farishtoñ meñ hai shohrā inheñ insānoñ kā
lafz jazbāt kī tasvīr nahīñ ban sakte
shukr kaise ho adā husn ke ehsānoñ kā
dil-e-barbād se karte haiñ jise ham ta.abīr
isī vīrāne meñ ik shahr thā armānoñ kā
tujh ko is daur meñ hai nūr-e-haqīqat kī talāsh
kaun samjhā.e ki ye daur hai afsānoñ kā
mujh ko pahlū meñ vo dil chāhiye jis meñ 'shā.ir'
raushnī sham.a kī ho soz ho parvānoñ kā
gham hai kanTon ka na andesha bayabanon ka
ishq hai rah-numa aaj bhi diwanon ka
ruh tarik nazar kor mohabbat se gurez
kya farishton mein hai shohra inhen insanon ka
lafz jazbaat ki taswir nahin ban sakte
shukr kaise ho ada husn ke ehsanon ka
dil-e-barbaad se karte hain jise hum tabir
isi virane mein ek shahr tha armanon ka
tujh ko is daur mein hai nur-e-haqiqat ki talash
kaun samjhae ki ye daur hai afsanon ka
mujh ko pahlu mein wo dil chahiye jis mein 'shair'
raushni shama ki ho soz ho parwanon ka
