itni qimat-e-sham-e-safar dun ye nahin hoga
itnī qīmat-e-shām-e-safar duuñ ye nahīñ hogā
apne charāġh ko ḳhud gul kar duuñ ye nahīñ hogā
ab to merī kul tauqīr shajar hai aadhā
barq ko ye aadhā bhī shajar duuñ ye nahīñ hogā
hijr ko pas-andāzā kiyā hai mausam mausam
umr kī mehnat ġhārat kar duuñ ye nahīñ hogā
jā.ūñ jo us ke dar par dāman-e-jāñ phailā.e
vo patthar de aur maiñ sar duuñ ye nahīñ hogā
sach kī dhun meñ chāhe sāñseñ hī ruk jaa.eñ
saaz ko jhūTe soz se bhar duuñ ye nahīñ hogā
kam-zau lafz ko sūrat bhī duuñ miTTī bhī duuñ
ḳhud-rau lafz ko zer-o-zabar duuñ ye nahīñ hogā
mantiq-e-asr salīqa-e-harf-e-haq kyā jaane
vahshī ke qabze meñ tabar duuñ ye nahīñ hogā
merī ek ik shāḳh hai fazl-o-adal kī mīzāñ
chhāñv udhar duuñ dhuup idhar duuñ ye nahīñ hogā
itni qimat-e-sham-e-safar dun ye nahin hoga
apne charagh ko KHud gul kar dun ye nahin hoga
ab to meri kul tauqir shajar hai aadha
barq ko ye aadha bhi shajar dun ye nahin hoga
hijr ko pas-andaza kiya hai mausam mausam
umr ki mehnat ghaarat kar dun ye nahin hoga
jaun jo us ke dar par daman-e-jaan phailae
wo patthar de aur main sar dun ye nahin hoga
sach ki dhun mein chahe sansen hi ruk jaen
saz ko jhuTe soz se bhar dun ye nahin hoga
kam-zau lafz ko surat bhi dun miTTi bhi dun
KHud-rau lafz ko zer-o-zabar dun ye nahin hoga
mantiq-e-asr saliqa-e-harf-e-haq kya jaane
wahshi ke qabze mein tabar dun ye nahin hoga
meri ek ek shaKH hai fazl-o-adal ki mizan
chhanw udhar dun dhup idhar dun ye nahin hoga
