garam-e-talash-o-justuju ab hai teri nazar kahan
garm-e-talāsh-o-justujū ab hai tirī nazar kahāñ
ḳhuun hai kuchh jamā huā qalb kahāñ jigar kahāñ
hai ye tarīq-e-āshiqī chāhiye is meñ be-ḳhudī
is meñ chunāñ-chunīñ kahāñ is meñ agar magar kahāñ
zulf thī jo bikhar ga.ī ruḳh thā ki jo nikhar gayā
haa.e vo shaam ab kahāñ haa.e vo ab sahar kahāñ
kījiye aaj kis tarah dauḌ ke sajda-e-niyāz
ye bhī to hosh ab nahīñ paañv kahāñ hai sar kahāñ
haa.e vo din guzar ga.e joshish-e-iztirāb ke
niind qafas meñ aa ga.ī ab ġham-e-bāl-o-par kahāñ
hosh o ḳhirad ke phere meñ umr-e-azīz sarf kī
raat to kaT ga.ī yahāñ dekhiye ho sahar kahāñ
garm-e-talash-o-justuju ab hai teri nazar kahan
KHun hai kuchh jama hua qalb kahan jigar kahan
hai ye tariq-e-ashiqi chahiye is mein be-KHudi
is mein chunan-chunin kahan is mein agar magar kahan
zulf thi jo bikhar gai ruKH tha ki jo nikhar gaya
hae wo sham ab kahan hae wo ab sahar kahan
kijiye aaj kis tarah dauD ke sajda-e-niyaz
ye bhi to hosh ab nahin panw kahan hai sar kahan
hae wo din guzar gae joshish-e-iztirab ke
nind qafas mein aa gai ab gham-e-baal-o-par kahan
hosh o KHirad ke phere mein umr-e-aziz sarf ki
raat to kaT gai yahan dekhiye ho sahar kahan
