ghash bhi aaya meri pursish ko qaza bhi aai

ġhash bhī aayā mirī pursish ko qazā bhī aa.ī

be-muravvat tujhe kuchh sharm o hayā bhī aa.ī

mausam-e-husn to thā fasl-e-jafā bhī aa.ī

saath hī saath javānī kī adā bhī aa.ī

dam kā āñkhoñ meñ aTaknā bhī mubārak na huā

vaqt kī baat tum aa.e to qazā bhī aa.ī

maiñ shab-e-vasl ye samjhā ki sahar bhī kuchh hai

vo jo aa.e to mo.azzin kī sadā bhī aa.ī

un marīzoñ kī ayādat ko vo ab nikle haiñ

maut jā kar jinheñ miTTī meñ milā bhī aa.ī

kar diyā soz-e-darūñ ne mujhe sham.a sar-e-bazm

ban ga.ī dam pe agar paas havā bhī aa.ī

kaan yuuñ un ke bhare haiñ mirī fariyādoñ ne

naale samjhe jo koī aur sadā bhī aa.ī

phir bhī 'sāqib' na uḌī tāla-e-ḳhufta kī niind

aah jā kar mirī gardūñ ko hilā bhī aa.ī

ghash bhi aaya meri pursish ko qaza bhi aai

be-murawwat tujhe kuchh sharm o haya bhi aai

mausam-e-husn to tha fasl-e-jafa bhi aai

sath hi sath jawani ki ada bhi aai

dam ka aankhon mein aTakna bhi mubarak na hua

waqt ki baat tum aae to qaza bhi aai

main shab-e-wasl ye samjha ki sahar bhi kuchh hai

wo jo aae to moazzin ki sada bhi aai

un marizon ki ayaadat ko wo ab nikle hain

maut ja kar jinhen miTTi mein mila bhi aai

kar diya soz-e-darun ne mujhe shama sar-e-bazm

ban gai dam pe agar pas hawa bhi aai

kan yun un ke bhare hain meri fariyaadon ne

nale samjhe jo koi aur sada bhi aai

phir bhi 'saqib' na uDi tala-e-KHufta ki nind

aah ja kar meri gardun ko hila bhi aai
