har-chand ki wo jawan nahin hum
har-chand ki vo javāñ nahīñ ham
itne bhī to nā-tavāñ nahīñ ham
qīmat hai hamārī ik tabassum
is nirḳh pe kuchh girāñ nahīñ ham
haiñ kunj-e-qafas ke rahne vaale
parvarda-e-āshiyāñ nahīñ ham
kyuuñ dar pe raheñ hamesha baiThe
kuchh aap ke pāsbāñ nahīñ ham
tasvīr kisī kī dekhte haiñ
mahv-e-gul-o-bostāñ nahīñ ham
gar aañkh zarā bhī tū ne pherī
to gardish-e-āsmāñ nahīñ ham
hāthoñ se tire bahār-e-ḳhūbī
sharminda-e-barg-e-pāñ nahīñ ham
tum tak bhī pahuñch raheñge āḳhir
kuchh duur to ham-rahāñ nahīñ ham
kis roz jarāhatoñ pe dil kī
ashkoñ se namak-fishāñ nahīñ ham
majlis se kare hai ham ko bāhar
goyā ki mizāj-dāñ nahīñ ham
saa.e se hamāre itnī nafrat
kāfir bhī to ai butāñ nahīñ ham
hai chaar taraf hamārā jalva
DhūñDe jo koī kahāñ nahīñ ham
ya.anī ki barañg-e-nik.hat-e-gul
parde meñ haiñ aur nihāñ nahīñ ham
miltā hai har ik se 'mus.hafī' yaar
samjhe hai ki bad-gumāñ nahīñ ham
har-chand ki wo jawan nahin hum
itne bhi to na-tawan nahin hum
qimat hai hamari ek tabassum
is nirKH pe kuchh giran nahin hum
hain kunj-e-qafas ke rahne wale
parwarda-e-ashiyan nahin hum
kyun dar pe rahen hamesha baiThe
kuchh aap ke pasban nahin hum
taswir kisi ki dekhte hain
mahw-e-gul-o-bostan nahin hum
gar aankh zara bhi tu ne pheri
to gardish-e-asman nahin hum
hathon se tere bahaar-e-KHubi
sharminda-e-barg-e-pan nahin hum
tum tak bhi pahunch rahenge aaKHir
kuchh dur to ham-rahan nahin hum
kis roz jarahaton pe dil ki
ashkon se namak-fishan nahin hum
majlis se kare hai hum ko bahar
goya ki mizaj-dan nahin hum
sae se hamare itni nafrat
kafir bhi to ai butan nahin hum
hai chaar taraf hamara jalwa
DhunDe jo koi kahan nahin hum
yani ki barang-e-nikhat-e-gul
parde mein hain aur nihan nahin hum
milta hai har ek se 'mushafi' yar
samjhe hai ki bad-guman nahin hum
