ilahi jaise hum us sham-e-anjuman se mile

ilāhī jaise ham us sham-e-anjuman se mile

isī tarah se har ik apne gul-badan se mile

mile na shaiḳh se dil aur na barahman se mile

mile to us ke ruḳh-o-zulf-e-pur-shikan se mile

mue pa qabr meñ kaun aur ḳhasta-tan se mile

kafan badan se mile aur badan kafan se mile

na tañg kar mujhe us ne kahāñ ye muñh paayā

ki gul kā ġhuncha tire ġhuncha-e-dahan se mile

bhulā de us ko abhī pal meñ chaukḌī saarī

nigāh-e-shoḳh agar āhū-e-ḳhutan se mile

ḳhudā ne qat.a kiyā hai tujhī pe ye jaama

phaban kisī kā tire kis tarah phaban se mile

vo chhoḌe kyūñki bhalā mashq dil jalāne kī

maza jise dil-e-āshufta kī jalan se mile

yahāñ to pech uThāyā kare dil-e-sad-chāk

sitam hai shāna vahāñ zulf-e-pur-shikan se mile

fazā-e-sīna meñ yuuñ hai hujūm aahoñ kā

daraḳht jaise ki aapas meñ hoeñ ghan se mile

huā ye hai hameñ irshād-e-mushfiqāna jo kal

ham ek bazm meñ haañ ek ahl-e-fan se mile

ki yaad rakh tū hai sheroñ meñ aib rabt-e-kalām

vo sher hoñ ki na hargiz suḳhan suḳhan se mile

aur ek is ke sivā yaad rakh ye hai ḳhūbī

vo tarz ho ki na tarz-e-nau-o-kuhan se mile

phir us ke ba.ad dam-e-sard bhar ke farmāyā

ye nukte ham ko sunā the baḌe jatan se mile

savere aage bayāñ ham ne kar diye yūñhī

bayān kījiyo jo shā.iqān-e-fan se mile

zahe nasīb tujhe is tarah milī daulat

vo jo mile bhī kisī ko to ek kaThan se mile

kaheñ suneñge ham aapas meñ dard-e-dil apnā

chaman meñ 'aish' jo ham bulbul-e-chaman se mile

ilahi jaise hum us sham-e-anjuman se mile

isi tarah se har ek apne gul-badan se mile

mile na shaiKH se dil aur na barahman se mile

mile to us ke ruKH-o-zulf-e-pur-shikan se mile

mue pa qabr mein kaun aur KHasta-tan se mile

kafan badan se mile aur badan kafan se mile

na tang kar mujhe us ne kahan ye munh paya

ki gul ka ghuncha tere ghuncha-e-dahan se mile

bhula de us ko abhi pal mein chaukDi sari

nigah-e-shoKH agar aahu-e-KHutan se mile

KHuda ne qata kiya hai tujhi pe ye jama

phaban kisi ka tere kis tarah phaban se mile

wo chhoDe kyunki bhala mashq dil jalane ki

maza jise dil-e-ashufta ki jalan se mile

yahan to pech uThaya kare dil-e-sad-chaak

sitam hai shana wahan zulf-e-pur-shikan se mile

faza-e-sina mein yun hai hujum aahon ka

daraKHt jaise ki aapas mein hoen ghan se mile

hua ye hai hamein irshad-e-mushfiqana jo kal

hum ek bazm mein han ek ahl-e-fan se mile

ki yaad rakh tu hai sheron mein aib rabt-e-kalam

wo sher hon ki na hargiz suKHan suKHan se mile

aur ek is ke siwa yaad rakh ye hai KHubi

wo tarz ho ki na tarz-e-nau-o-kuhan se mile

phir us ke baad dam-e-sard bhar ke farmaya

ye nukte hum ko suna the baDe jatan se mile

sawere aage bayan hum ne kar diye yunhi

bayan kijiyo jo shaiqan-e-fan se mile

zahe nasib tujhe is tarah mili daulat

wo jo mile bhi kisi ko to ek kaThan se mile

kahen sunenge hum aapas mein dard-e-dil apna

chaman mein 'aish' jo hum bulbul-e-chaman se mile
