is ke jo jo ki fawaed hain KHud dekhte jao

is ke jo jo ki favā.ed haiñ ḳhud dekhte jaao

sach kahā hai ye kisī ne ki piyo aur pilāo

zabt sarkār meñ hone ke liye chhoḌ na jaao

ḳhuub hī khaao zar-o-māl ko aur ḳhuub uḌaao

tum meñ aur ġhair meñ jo shab ko huī hai sohbat

ḳhud kahe detā hai vo aap kī āñkhoñ kā jhukāo

baiThne ke nahīñ qābil ye sarā-e-vīrāñ

yaañ se toshe ke uThāne ke evaz naav uThāo

maiñ huuñ maḳhmūr mujhe taab kahāñ haañ saaqī

saaf ho durd ho jaldī se jo mil jaa.e to laao

nahīñ bīmār ko taklīf zyāda dete

apnī āñkhoñ ko mire sāmne itnā na jhukāo

dil meñ aa baiThiye aur sair-e-do-ālam kiije

hai bahut duur kā us manzil-e-vīrāñ se dikhāo

muñh se gar baat nikal jaa.e to aafat aa jaa.e

jo kahīñ chupke sune jaao zabāñ ko na hilāo

maiñ kahāñ aur kahāñ raat kā aanā par haañ

tere ghar se to bahut ġhair ke ghar kā hai lagāo

ukhḌe jaate haiñ qadam dekh vahāñ kī rañgat

apnā is dar pe huā hai na kabhī hogā jamāv

dil kī ābādī kī ab fikr hai bilkul nāhaq

ab to yaañ roz hī hotā hai sipah-e-ġham kā paḌāv

ba.ad ik umr ke gar arz-e-tamannā kiije

vo bigaḌ kar yahī kahte haiñ ki bāteñ na banāo

garche ye jhuuT fasānā hai vale hai dilchasp

kahte haiñ apnī kahānī mujhe tum roz sunāo

huuñ agar us ke evaz nīm-nigah kā ḳhvāhāñ

hañs ke kahte haiñ ki kuchh qīmat-e-dil aur ghatāo

avval-e-ishq hai dil kab hai samajhne vaalā

abhī zoroñ pe hai is bahr par aafat kā chaḌhāo

haal bhī kahte agar hosh Thikāne hote

yaañ to hairat hai ki tum aur mujhe pūchhne aao

dam nikalne kā alam kis se sahā jaatā hai

harf tum jaane kā ai jaan zabāñ hī pe na laao

un ko to pās-e-mohabbat nahīñ aslan lekin

nibh sake tum se agar hazrat-e-dil aur nibhāo

zaḳhm-e-hijrāñ kī nahīñ aur to duniyā meñ davā

mundamil vasl ke marham se to hotā hai ye ghaav

kab use dīda-e-tar dāva-e-ham-chashmī hai

aaTh aaTh aañsū na tum abr-e-bahārī ko rulāo

un ke aane ke tasavvur meñ yahī kahtā huuñ

ai shab-e-va.ada na ho sub.h vo karte haiñ banāv

vaañ khapat hī nahīñ kyā jins-e-vafā le jaa.eñ

un kī sarkār meñ ik jaur-o-sitam kā hai banāv

ab ho 'majrūh' mohabbat se bahut ghabrāte

ham to pahle hī ye kahte the ki dil ko na lagāo

is ke jo jo ki fawaed hain KHud dekhte jao

sach kaha hai ye kisi ne ki piyo aur pilao

zabt sarkar mein hone ke liye chhoD na jao

KHub hi khao zar-o-mal ko aur KHub uDao

tum mein aur ghair mein jo shab ko hui hai sohbat

KHud kahe deta hai wo aap ki aankhon ka jhukao

baiThne ke nahin qabil ye sara-e-viran

yan se toshe ke uThane ke ewaz naw uThao

main hun maKHmur mujhe tab kahan han saqi

saf ho durd ho jaldi se jo mil jae to lao

nahin bimar ko taklif zyaada dete

apni aankhon ko mere samne itna na jhukao

dil mein aa baiThiye aur sair-e-do-alam kije

hai bahut dur ka us manzil-e-viran se dikhao

munh se gar baat nikal jae to aafat aa jae

jo kahin chupke sune jao zaban ko na hilao

main kahan aur kahan raat ka aana par han

tere ghar se to bahut ghair ke ghar ka hai lagao

ukhDe jate hain qadam dekh wahan ki rangat

apna is dar pe hua hai na kabhi hoga jamaw

dil ki aabaadi ki ab fikr hai bilkul nahaq

ab to yan roz hi hota hai sipah-e-gham ka paDaw

baad ek umr ke gar arz-e-tamanna kije

wo bigaD kar yahi kahte hain ki baaten na banao

garche ye jhuT fasana hai wale hai dilchasp

kahte hain apni kahani mujhe tum roz sunao

hun agar us ke ewaz nim-nigah ka KHwahan

hans ke kahte hain ki kuchh qimat-e-dil aur ghatao

awwal-e-ishq hai dil kab hai samajhne wala

abhi zoron pe hai is bahr par aafat ka chaDhao

haal bhi kahte agar hosh Thikane hote

yan to hairat hai ki tum aur mujhe puchhne aao

dam nikalne ka alam kis se saha jata hai

harf tum jaane ka ai jaan zaban hi pe na lao

un ko to pas-e-mohabbat nahin aslan lekin

nibh sake tum se agar hazrat-e-dil aur nibhao

zaKHm-e-hijran ki nahin aur to duniya mein dawa

mundamil wasl ke marham se to hota hai ye ghaw

kab use dida-e-tar dawa-e-ham-chashmi hai

aaTh aaTh aansu na tum abr-e-bahaari ko rulao

un ke aane ke tasawwur mein yahi kahta hun

ai shab-e-wada na ho subh wo karte hain banaw

wan khapat hi nahin kya jins-e-wafa le jaen

un ki sarkar mein ek jaur-o-sitam ka hai banaw

ab ho 'majruh' mohabbat se bahut ghabraate

hum to pahle hi ye kahte the ki dil ko na lagao
