is qadar mahw-e-tasawwur hun sitamgar tera

is qadar mahv-e-tasavvur huuñ sitamgar terā

mujh ko ġhurbat meñ nazar aane lagā ghar terā

nashsha-e-mai kī bujhī pyaas na kuchh bhī afsos

naam sunte the baḌā chashma-e-kausar terā

apne pāmālī-e-dil kā mujhe afsos nahīñ

dekh zālim na bigaḌ jaa.e kahīñ ghar terā

vo bhī haiñ log jo ham-bazm rahā karte the

ham to jiite haiñ faqat naam hī le kar terā

jalva-e-tūr ko kuchh us kī nazar se bhāñpā

jis ne dekhā hai jamāl-e-ruḳh-e-anvar terā

zindagī us kī nasīb us ke haiñ rāteñ us kī

jis ko ho jalva-e-dīdār mayassar terā

ham ne koshish to bahut kī thī use laane kī

ai 'faroġh'-e-jigar-afgār muqaddar terā

is qadar mahw-e-tasawwur hun sitamgar tera

mujh ko ghurbat mein nazar aane laga ghar tera

nashsha-e-mai ki bujhi pyas na kuchh bhi afsos

nam sunte the baDa chashma-e-kausar tera

apne pamali-e-dil ka mujhe afsos nahin

dekh zalim na bigaD jae kahin ghar tera

wo bhi hain log jo ham-bazm raha karte the

hum to jite hain faqat nam hi le kar tera

jalwa-e-tur ko kuchh us ki nazar se bhanpa

jis ne dekha hai jamal-e-ruKH-e-anwar tera

zindagi us ki nasib us ke hain raaten us ki

jis ko ho jalwa-e-didar mayassar tera

hum ne koshish to bahut ki thi use lane ki

ai 'farogh'-e-jigar-afgar muqaddar tera
