har-chand sahaara hai tere pyar ka dil ko

har-chand sahārā hai tire pyaar kā dil ko

rahtā hai magar ek 'ajab ḳhauf sā dil ko

vo ḳhvāb ki dekhā na kabhī le uḌā nīñdeñ

vo dard ki uTThā na kabhī khā gayā dil ko

yā saañs kā lenā bhī guzar jaanā hai jī se

yā ma.arka-e-ishq bhī ik khel thā dil ko

vo aa.eñ to hairān vo jaa.eñ to pareshān

yā-rab koī samjhā.e ye kyā ho gayā dil ko

sone na diyā shorish-e-hastī ne ghaḌī bhar

maiñ laakh tirā zikr sunātā rahā dil ko

rūdād-e-mohabbat na rahī is ke sivā yaad

ik ajnabī aayā thā uḌā le gayā dil ko

juz gard-e-ḳhamoshī nahīñ 'shohrat' yahāñ kuchh bhī

kis manzil-e-ābād meñ pahuñchā liyā dil ko

har-chand sahaara hai tere pyar ka dil ko

rahta hai magar ek 'ajab KHauf sa dil ko

wo KHwab ki dekha na kabhi le uDa ninden

wo dard ki uTTha na kabhi kha gaya dil ko

ya sans ka lena bhi guzar jaana hai ji se

ya marka-e-ishq bhi ek khel tha dil ko

wo aaen to hairan wo jaen to pareshan

ya-rab koi samjhae ye kya ho gaya dil ko

sone na diya shorish-e-hasti ne ghaDi bhar

main lakh tera zikr sunata raha dil ko

rudad-e-mohabbat na rahi is ke siwa yaad

ek ajnabi aaya tha uDa le gaya dil ko

juz gard-e-KHamoshi nahin 'shohrat' yahan kuchh bhi

kis manzil-e-abaad mein pahuncha liya dil ko
