jawani yaad hum ko apni phir be-iKHtiyar aai
javānī yaad ham ko apnī phir be-iḳhtiyār aa.ī
huā dīvānoñ meñ jab ġhul bahār aa.ī bahār aa.ī
huā thā marg se ġhāfil maiñ kis din josh-e-vahshat meñ
sabā kyuuñ le ke mere sāmne musht-e-ġhubār aa.ī
dikhā.e ranj piirī ke ajal tere taġhāful ne
tujhe aanā thā pahle aah tū anjām kaar aa.ī
hamāre tausan-e-umr-e-ravāñ ke tez karne ko
shamīm-e-zulf dosh-e-bād-e-sarsar par savār aa.ī
na paayā vaqt ai zāhid koī maiñ ne ibādat kā
shab-e-hijrāñ huī āḳhir to sub.h-e-intizār aa.ī
na kuchh ḳhatra ḳhizāñ kā hai na ehsān-e-bahār us par
adam se apnī shāḳh-e-ārzū be-barg-o-bār aa.ī
hamārī dekhiyo ġhaflat na samjhe vaa.e nādānī
hameñ do din ke bahlāne ko umr-e-be-madār aa.ī
jo nañg-e-ishq haiñ vo bul-havas fariyād karte haiñ
lab-e-zaḳhm-e-'havas' se kab sadā-e-zīnhār aa.ī
jawani yaad hum ko apni phir be-iKHtiyar aai
hua diwanon mein jab ghul bahaar aai bahaar aai
hua tha marg se ghafil main kis din josh-e-wahshat mein
saba kyun le ke mere samne musht-e-ghubar aai
dikhae ranj piri ke ajal tere taghaful ne
tujhe aana tha pahle aah tu anjam kar aai
hamare tausan-e-umr-e-rawan ke tez karne ko
shamim-e-zulf dosh-e-baad-e-sarsar par sawar aai
na paya waqt ai zahid koi main ne ibaadat ka
shab-e-hijran hui aaKHir to subh-e-intizar aai
na kuchh KHatra KHizan ka hai na ehsan-e-bahaar us par
adam se apni shaKH-e-arzu be-barg-o-bar aai
hamari dekhiyo ghaflat na samjhe wae nadani
hamein do din ke bahlane ko umr-e-be-madar aai
jo nang-e-ishq hain wo bul-hawas fariyaad karte hain
lab-e-zaKHm-e-'hawas' se kab sada-e-zinhaar aai
