jahan qatre ko tarsaya gaya hun

jahāñ qatre ko tarsāyā gayā huuñ

vahīñ Duubā huā paayā gayā huuñ

ba-hāl-e-gumrahī paayā gayā huuñ

haram se dair meñ laayā gayā huuñ

balā kaafī na thī ik zindagī kī

dobāra yaad farmāyā gayā huuñ

ba-rañg-e-lāla-e-vīrāna bekār

khilāyā aur murjhāyā gayā huuñ

agarche abr-e-gauhar-bār huuñ maiñ

magar āñkhoñ se barsāyā gayā huuñ

supurd-e-ḳhāk hī karnā thā mujh ko

to phir kaahe ko nahlāyā gayā huuñ

farishte ko na maiñ shaitān samjhā

natīja ye ki bahkāyā gayā huuñ

koī san.at nahīñ mujh meñ to phir kyuuñ

numā.ish-gāh meñ laayā gayā huuñ

ba-qaul-e-barhaman qahr-e-ḳhudā huuñ

butoñ ke husn par Dhāyā gayā huuñ

mujhe to is ḳhabar ne kho diyā hai

sunā hai maiñ kahīñ paayā gayā huuñ

'hafīz' ahl-e-zabāñ kab mānte the

baḌe zoroñ se manvāyā gayā huuñ

jahan qatre ko tarsaya gaya hun

wahin Duba hua paya gaya hun

ba-haal-e-gumrahi paya gaya hun

haram se dair mein laya gaya hun

bala kafi na thi ek zindagi ki

dobara yaad farmaya gaya hun

ba-rang-e-lala-e-virana bekar

khilaya aur murjhaya gaya hun

agarche abr-e-gauhar-bar hun main

magar aankhon se barsaya gaya hun

supurd-e-KHak hi karna tha mujh ko

to phir kahe ko nahlaya gaya hun

farishte ko na main shaitan samjha

natija ye ki bahkaya gaya hun

koi sanat nahin mujh mein to phir kyun

numaish-gah mein laya gaya hun

ba-qaul-e-barhaman qahr-e-KHuda hun

buton ke husn par Dhaya gaya hun

mujhe to is KHabar ne kho diya hai

suna hai main kahin paya gaya hun

'hafiz' ahl-e-zaban kab mante the

baDe zoron se manwaya gaya hun
