jab se mein ne dekha hai ek KHushnuma chehra
jab se meñ ne dekhā hai ek ḳhushnumā chehra
tab se hai nigāhoñ meñ us kā chāñd sā chehra
sūrat aur sīrat meñ imtiyāz mushkil hai
hai har ek chehre par ek dūsrā chehra
ek aur do hī meñ zehn thā parāganda
aa gayā kahāñ se ye ek tīsrā chehra
bā-vafā samajhtā thā jis ko bevafā niklā
roz vo badaltā hai ik na ik nayā chehra
thā naqāb meñ ab tak be-hijāb jab dekhā
faash ho gayā āḳhir us kā bad-numā chehra
duur se samajhte the jis ko chāñd kā TukḌā
jab qarīb se dekhā thā vo khurdurā chehra
merī chashm-e-bātin se kuchh nahīñ hai poshīda
hai zabān-e-dil 'barqī' ā.ina-numā chehra
jab se mein ne dekha hai ek KHushnuma chehra
tab se hai nigahon mein us ka chand sa chehra
surat aur sirat mein imtiyaz mushkil hai
hai har ek chehre par ek dusra chehra
ek aur do hi mein zehn tha paraganda
aa gaya kahan se ye ek tisra chehra
ba-wafa samajhta tha jis ko bewafa nikla
roz wo badalta hai ek na ek naya chehra
tha naqab mein ab tak be-hijab jab dekha
fash ho gaya aaKHir us ka bad-numa chehra
dur se samajhte the jis ko chand ka TukDa
jab qarib se dekha tha wo khurdura chehra
meri chashm-e-baatin se kuchh nahin hai poshida
hai zaban-e-dil 'barqi' aaina-numa chehra
