irfan hai ye ishq ke soz-o-gudaz ka

irfān hai ye ishq ke soz-o-gudāz kā

parda uThā rahā hai koī imtiyāz kā

tāroñ se pūchhiye mirī āñkhoñ ko dekhiye

duniyā ko kyā pata shab-e-hijr-e-darāz kā

jaane se qabl tuur pe muusā ye dekhte

kyā zarf hai havās tajallī-navāz kā

sab surḳhiyāñ haiñ ḳhūn-e-vafā sī likhī huī

qissa hai dil-gudāz shahīd-e-niyāz kā

sar be-ḳhudī meñ aap ke qadmoñ pe jhuk gayā

aayā thā kuchh ḳhayāl sā dil meñ namāz kā

āñkheñ jhukā nazar na milā dil pe tiir khā

pahlā sabaq hai ishq ke rāz-o-niyāz kā

mahfil meñ dekhte haiñ vo tasvīr kī tarah

markaz hai har nafas nigah-e-imtiyāz kā

dekhā phir us ne qalb kī phir harkateñ baḌhīñ

zaḳhma banī hai phir nigah-e-nāz saaz kā

zarf āzmā.e sozish-e-sad-barq-e-tūr se

liije na imtihān dil-e-be-niyāz kā

'tālib' agar nazar na ho pāmāl-e-ḳhvāhishāt

har lam.a barq-e-tūr hai husn-e-majāz kā

irfan hai ye ishq ke soz-o-gudaz ka

parda uTha raha hai koi imtiyaz ka

taron se puchhiye meri aankhon ko dekhiye

duniya ko kya pata shab-e-hijr-e-daraaz ka

jaane se qabl tur pe musa ye dekhte

kya zarf hai hawas tajalli-nawaz ka

sab surKHiyan hain KHun-e-wafa si likhi hui

qissa hai dil-gudaz shahid-e-niyaz ka

sar be-KHudi mein aap ke qadmon pe jhuk gaya

aaya tha kuchh KHayal sa dil mein namaz ka

aankhen jhuka nazar na mila dil pe tir kha

pahla sabaq hai ishq ke raaz-o-niyaz ka

mahfil mein dekhte hain wo taswir ki tarah

markaz hai har nafas nigah-e-imtiyaz ka

dekha phir us ne qalb ki phir harkaten baDhin

zaKHma bani hai phir nigah-e-naz saz ka

zarf aazmae sozish-e-sad-barq-e-tur se

lije na imtihan dil-e-be-niyaz ka

'talib' agar nazar na ho pamal-e-KHwahishat

har lama barq-e-tur hai husn-e-majaz ka
