jab lahu chashm ke kuzon se chhalakta paya
jab lahū chashm ke kūzoñ se chhalaktā paayā
tab kahīñ jā ke maiñ ehsās ko bahlā paayā
zulm ke saath hī maqtal meñ khaḌā thā sūraj
sabr ke mom ko lekin kahāñ pighlā paayā
alqamā bhuul ga.ī lazzat-e-sairābī-e-jāñ
us ne jab pyaas ko qurb-e-sar-e-dariyā paayā
chīḳhtī rah ga.ī sahrā meñ ḳhamoshī-e-‘avām
zulm ne nasb kiyā dasht meñ pahlā paayā
pyaas ke dasht meñ papḌā.e laboñ par us ne
jab zabāñ pherī to maqtal kā nazārā paayā
ashk ne rakh diye palkoñ kī salīboñ pe gale
tab mirī āñkhoñ ne kausar kā kinārā paayā
bas vahī gauhar-e-nāyāb haiñ baḳhshish ke liye
dīda-e-ḳhvāb se 'shārib' jinheñ chhalkā paayā
jab lahu chashm ke kuzon se chhalakta paya
tab kahin ja ke main ehsas ko bahla paya
zulm ke sath hi maqtal mein khaDa tha suraj
sabr ke mom ko lekin kahan pighla paya
alqama bhul gai lazzat-e-sairabi-e-jaan
us ne jab pyas ko qurb-e-sar-e-dariya paya
chiKHti rah gai sahra mein KHamoshi-e-‘awam
zulm ne nasb kiya dasht mein pahla paya
pyas ke dasht mein papDae labon par us ne
jab zaban pheri to maqtal ka nazara paya
ashk ne rakh diye palkon ki salibon pe gale
tab meri aankhon ne kausar ka kinara paya
bas wahi gauhar-e-nayab hain baKHshish ke liye
dida-e-KHwab se 'shaarib' jinhen chhalka paya
