harim-e-naz ko hum ghair ki mahfil nahin kahte
harīm-e-nāz ko ham ġhair kī mahfil nahīñ kahte
raqīboñ par magar vo kaun thā maa.il nahīñ kahte
jo rañg-e-ishq se fāriġh ho us ko dil nahīñ kahte
jo maujoñ se na Takrā.e use sāhil nahīñ kahte
ishāra sham.a kā samjhā na parvāna to kyā samjhā
manār-e-rāh ko ahl-e-nazar manzil nahīñ kahte
ba-rañg-e-rishta-e-tasbīh dil se raah hai dil ko
bhaTak jaa.e jo is jaade se us ko dil nahīñ kahte
zuleḳhā ke vaqār-e-ishq ko sahrā se kyā nisbat
jo ḳhud khīñch kar na aa jaa.e use manzil nahīñ kahte
marīz-e-ġham kī ġhaflat bhī kamāl-e-hoshiyārī hai
jo gum ho jaa.e jalvoñ meñ use ġhāfil nahīñ kahte
bharam us kā hī ai mansūr tū ne rakh liyā hotā
kisī kā raaz ai nādāñ sar-e-mahfil nahīñ kahte
harim-e-naz ko hum ghair ki mahfil nahin kahte
raqibon par magar wo kaun tha mail nahin kahte
jo rang-e-ishq se farigh ho us ko dil nahin kahte
jo maujon se na Takrae use sahil nahin kahte
ishaara shama ka samjha na parwana to kya samjha
manar-e-rah ko ahl-e-nazar manzil nahin kahte
ba-rang-e-rishta-e-tasbih dil se rah hai dil ko
bhaTak jae jo is jade se us ko dil nahin kahte
zuleKHa ke waqar-e-ishq ko sahra se kya nisbat
jo KHud khinch kar na aa jae use manzil nahin kahte
mariz-e-gham ki ghaflat bhi kamal-e-hoshiyari hai
jo gum ho jae jalwon mein use ghafil nahin kahte
bharam us ka hi ai mansur tu ne rakh liya hota
kisi ka raaz ai nadan sar-e-mahfil nahin kahte
