gulon ki chah mein tauhin-e-barg-o-bar na kar
guloñ kī chaah meñ tauhīn-e-barg-o-bār na kar
bhare chaman meñ ye sāmān-e-intishār na kar
ḳhizāñ riyāz-e-chaman hai ḳhizāñ gudāz-e-chaman
ḳhizāñ kā Dar ho to phir ḳhvāhish-e-bahār na kar
bas ek dil hai yahāñ vāqif-e-nasheb-o-farāz
vafā kī raah meñ rahbar kā intizār na kar
hujūm-e-ġham meñ tabassum kā khel dekh liyā
maiñ kah rahā thā mire ġham kā e'tibār na kar
kahā ye ishq se dār-o-salīb-e-zindāñ ne
majāl ho to mirī raah iḳhtiyār na kar
ye taaza taaza qafas kyā ḳhizāñ se kuchh kam haiñ
hujūm-e-gul hī se andāza-e-bahār na kar
nasīm-e-sub.h unheñ muskurā to lene de
abhī guloñ se koī zikr-e-nāgavār na kar
udhar har ek nazar meñ hai hasratoñ kā julūs
idhar ye hukm-e-hayā hai nigāheñ chaar na kar
ye pūchhnā hai kisī din janāb-e-'zaidī' se
ki aap ne to kahā thā kisī se pyaar na kar
gulon ki chah mein tauhin-e-barg-o-bar na kar
bhare chaman mein ye saman-e-intishaar na kar
KHizan riyaz-e-chaman hai KHizan gudaz-e-chaman
KHizan ka Dar ho to phir KHwahish-e-bahaar na kar
bas ek dil hai yahan waqif-e-nasheb-o-faraaz
wafa ki rah mein rahbar ka intizar na kar
hujum-e-gham mein tabassum ka khel dekh liya
main kah raha tha mere gham ka e'tibar na kar
kaha ye ishq se dar-o-salib-e-zindan ne
majal ho to meri rah iKHtiyar na kar
ye taza taza qafas kya KHizan se kuchh kam hain
hujum-e-gul hi se andaza-e-bahaar na kar
nasim-e-subh unhen muskura to lene de
abhi gulon se koi zikr-e-nagawar na kar
udhar har ek nazar mein hai hasraton ka julus
idhar ye hukm-e-haya hai nigahen chaar na kar
ye puchhna hai kisi din janab-e-'zaidi' se
ki aap ne to kaha tha kisi se pyar na kar
