hisar-e-did mein jaga tilism-e-binai

hisār-e-dīd meñ jaagā tilism-e-bīnā.ī

zarā jo lau tirī sham-e-badan kī tharrā.ī

na jaane kis se bichhaḌne ke rāg-rañg haiñ sab

ye zindagī hai ki furqat kī bazm-ārā.ī

sukūt-e-bahr meñ kis ġham kā raaz pinhāñ thā

bas ek mauj uThī aur aañkh bhar aa.ī

ye samt samt taḳhātub ufuq ufuq taqrīr

tirā kalām hai merā rafīq-e-tanhā.ī

ḳhirad kī rah jo chalā maiñ to dil ne mujh se kahā

azīz-e-man ''ba-salāmat-ravī o bāz-ā.ī''

uThā.e suur sarāfīl dekhtā hī rahā

bashar ke haath nizām-e-qayāmat-ārā.ī

kiyā thā jī kā ziyāñ ham ne ik ġhazal bhar ko

hazār sher kahe ho sakī na bharpā.ī

hisar-e-did mein jaga tilism-e-binai

zara jo lau teri sham-e-badan ki tharrai

na jaane kis se bichhaDne ke rag-rang hain sab

ye zindagi hai ki furqat ki bazm-arai

sukut-e-bahr mein kis gham ka raaz pinhan tha

bas ek mauj uThi aur aankh bhar aai

ye samt samt taKHatub ufuq ufuq taqrir

tera kalam hai mera rafiq-e-tanhai

KHirad ki rah jo chala main to dil ne mujh se kaha

aziz-e-man ba-salamat-rawi o baz-ai

uThae sur sarafil dekhta hi raha

bashar ke hath nizam-e-qayamat-arai

kiya tha ji ka ziyan hum ne ek ghazal bhar ko

hazar sher kahe ho saki na bharpai
