hadisa ishq mein darpesh hua chahta hai

hādisa ishq meñ darpesh huā chāhtā hai

dil shahanshāh se darvesh huā chāhtā hai

ishq ko zid hai ki ta.amīr kare shahr-e-umīd

husn kam-baḳht bad-andesh huā chāhtā hai

is ilāqe se mirā koī ta.alluq bhī nahīñ

ye ilāqa ki mirā desh huā chāhtā hai

mere ash.ār meñ ġhazloñ maiñ mire gītoñ meñ

ek kā zikr kam-o-besh huā chāhtā hai

jaah kī chaah nahīñ ḳhvāhish-e-mansab bhī nahīñ

mere andar koī darvesh huā chāhtā hai

mālik-e-saut-o-sadā shā.er-e-gumnām razā

terī dahlīz pe ab pesh huā chāhtā hai

hadisa ishq mein darpesh hua chahta hai

dil shahanshah se darwesh hua chahta hai

ishq ko zid hai ki tamir kare shahr-e-umid

husn kam-baKHt bad-andesh hua chahta hai

is ilaqe se mera koi talluq bhi nahin

ye ilaqa ki mera desh hua chahta hai

mere ashaar mein ghazlon main mere giton mein

ek ka zikr kam-o-besh hua chahta hai

jah ki chah nahin KHwahish-e-mansab bhi nahin

mere andar koi darwesh hua chahta hai

malik-e-saut-o-sada shaer-e-gumnam raza

teri dahliz pe ab pesh hua chahta hai
