hum ko to KHair pahunchna tha jahan tak pahunche

ham ko to ḳhair pahuñchnā thā jahāñ tak pahuñche

jo hameñ rok rahe the vo kahāñ tak pahuñche

fasl-e-gul tak rahe yā daur-e-ḳhizāñ tak pahuñche

baat jab niklī hai muñh se to jahāñ tak pahuñche

mere ash.ār meñ hai husn-e-ma.ānī kī talāsh

log ab tak na mire dard-e-nihāñ tak pahuñche

mujh ko rahne do mire dard kī lazzat meñ ḳhamosh

ye vo afsāna nahīñ hai jo zabāñ tak pahuñche

terī zulfoñ kī ghanī chhāñv kise miltī hai

kis kī taqdīr-e-rasā hai ki vahāñ tak pahuñche

manzil-e-dār-o-rasan bhī hai ruḳh-o-zulf ke ba.ad

dekhiye shauq hameñ le ke kahāñ tak pahuñche

tarjumāñ apnā banāyā hai mujhe rindoñ ne

kaash āvāz mirī pīr-e-muġhāñ tak pahuñche

aap ke mashġhalā-e-sher-o-suḳhan se 'ājiz'

kaam to kuchh na huā naam jahāñ tak pahuñche

hum ko to KHair pahunchna tha jahan tak pahunche

jo hamein rok rahe the wo kahan tak pahunche

fasl-e-gul tak rahe ya daur-e-KHizan tak pahunche

baat jab nikli hai munh se to jahan tak pahunche

mere ashaar mein hai husn-e-maani ki talash

log ab tak na mere dard-e-nihan tak pahunche

mujh ko rahne do mere dard ki lazzat mein KHamosh

ye wo afsana nahin hai jo zaban tak pahunche

teri zulfon ki ghani chhanw kise milti hai

kis ki taqdir-e-rasa hai ki wahan tak pahunche

manzil-e-dar-o-rasan bhi hai ruKH-o-zulf ke baad

dekhiye shauq hamein le ke kahan tak pahunche

tarjuman apna banaya hai mujhe rindon ne

kash aawaz meri pir-e-mughan tak pahunche

aap ke mashghala-e-sher-o-suKHan se 'ajiz'

kaam to kuchh na hua nam jahan tak pahunche
