jo naqsh miT chuka hai banana to hai nahin
jo naqsh miT chukā hai banānā to hai nahīñ
ujḌā dayār ham ne basānā to hai nahīñ
āñkhoñ ke diip raah meñ us ke jalā.eñ kyā
is ne palaT ke phir kabhī aanā to hai nahīñ
lāzim hai chalnā ziist kī rāhoñ pe bhī magar
jo gir paḌe kisī ne uThānā to hai nahīñ
bhar jā.egā ye thoḌī sī chāragarī ke ba.ad
taaza lagā hai zaḳhm purānā to hai nahīñ
kab tak vafā ke ma.anī batātā rahūñ use
us bevafā ne raah pe aanā to hai nahīñ
kuchh der Thahar jaa.e vo ḳhud hī ḳhudā kare
is baar koī aisā bahānā to hai nahīñ
phir ḳhvāhishoñ ke peḌ pe baiTheñge dekhnā
in panchhiyoñ kā koī Thikānā to hai nahīñ
allāh-re vafā.eñ ye ḳhūbān-e-shahr kī
manzar dhuāñ dhuāñ hai suhānā to hai nahīñ
mansūb kar duuñ maiñ jo tirī zindagī ke saath
yādoñ kā mere paas ḳhazāna to hai nahīñ
kyuuñ phir kisī ke dil meñ mohabbat basā.eñ ham
jab āshiqī meñ naam kamānā to hai nahīñ
qismat hai is ke sāmne ban jaa.e koī baat
vaise koī bhī baat banānā to hai nahīñ
sochūñ to saare log nishāne pe haiñ magar
dekhūñ koī kisī kā nishāna to hai nahīñ
vo apnā dard aap sunā.e to baat hai
ham ne kisī kā dard sunānā to hai nahīñ
ik dūsre kī ghaat meñ baiThe haiñ sab magar
is vaqt ne kisī ko bachānā to hai nahīñ
hai tā.irān-e-shauq kā maslak to ḳhāmushī
hai maslahat ki shor machānā to hai nahīñ
ishq-o-nazar kā dā.imī rishta azal se hai
majnūñ ne shahr chhoḌ ke jaanā to hai nahīñ
hāsil kiyā na is liye ta.amīr kā hunar
ham ne nayā jahān basānā to hai nahīñ
kaise rasā.ī ho mirī us ke mizāj tak
ahvāl us ne dil kā sunānā to hai nahīñ
mahrūm ham na hoñ kabhī maañ kī duāoñ se
nāyāb aisā koī ḳhazāna to hai nahīñ
dekhegā kaun chāk-e-garebān ko 'nabīl'
farhād-o-qais kā ye zamāna to hai nahīñ
jo naqsh miT chuka hai banana to hai nahin
ujDa dayar hum ne basana to hai nahin
aankhon ke dip rah mein us ke jalaen kya
is ne palaT ke phir kabhi aana to hai nahin
lazim hai chalna zist ki rahon pe bhi magar
jo gir paDe kisi ne uThana to hai nahin
bhar jaega ye thoDi si chaaragari ke baad
taza laga hai zaKHm purana to hai nahin
kab tak wafa ke mani batata rahun use
us bewafa ne rah pe aana to hai nahin
kuchh der Thahar jae wo KHud hi KHuda kare
is bar koi aisa bahana to hai nahin
phir KHwahishon ke peD pe baiThenge dekhna
in panchhiyon ka koi Thikana to hai nahin
allah-re wafaen ye KHuban-e-shahr ki
manzar dhuan dhuan hai suhana to hai nahin
mansub kar dun main jo teri zindagi ke sath
yaadon ka mere pas KHazana to hai nahin
kyun phir kisi ke dil mein mohabbat basaen hum
jab aashiqi mein nam kamana to hai nahin
qismat hai is ke samne ban jae koi baat
waise koi bhi baat banana to hai nahin
sochun to sare log nishane pe hain magar
dekhun koi kisi ka nishana to hai nahin
wo apna dard aap sunae to baat hai
hum ne kisi ka dard sunana to hai nahin
ek dusre ki ghat mein baiThe hain sab magar
is waqt ne kisi ko bachana to hai nahin
hai tairan-e-shauq ka maslak to KHamushi
hai maslahat ki shor machana to hai nahin
ishq-o-nazar ka daimi rishta azal se hai
majnun ne shahr chhoD ke jaana to hai nahin
hasil kiya na is liye tamir ka hunar
hum ne naya jahan basana to hai nahin
kaise rasai ho meri us ke mizaj tak
ahwal us ne dil ka sunana to hai nahin
mahrum hum na hon kabhi man ki duaon se
nayab aisa koi KHazana to hai nahin
dekhega kaun chaak-e-gareban ko 'nabil'
farhad-o-qais ka ye zamana to hai nahin
