kar-e-KHair itna to ai laghzish-e-pa ho jata

kār-e-ḳhair itnā to ai laġhzish-e-pā ho jaatā

paa.e saaqī pe hī ik sajda adā ho jaatā

vo to ye kahiye ki majbūr hai nazm-e-hastī

varna har banda-e-maġhrūr ḳhudā ho jaatā

qāfile vaale the mahrūm-e-basīrat varna

merā har naqsh-e-qadam rāh-numā ho jaatā

ġham ke māroñ pe bhī ai dāvar-e-hashr ek nazar

aaj to faisla-e-ahl-e-vafā ho jaatā

yuuñ añdheroñ meñ bhaTakte na kabhī ahl-e-ḳhirad

koī dīvāna agar rāh-numā ho jaatā

dil tirī nīm-nigāhī kā to mamnūn sahī

dard abhī kam hai zarā aur sivā ho jaatā

lazzat-e-ġham se hai zid fitrat-e-ġham ko shāyad

dard hī dard na kyuuñ dard davā ho jaatā

sun ke bhar aatā agar un kā bhī dil ai 'e'jāz'

qissa-e-dard kā 'unvān nayā ho jaatā

kar-e-KHair itna to ai laghzish-e-pa ho jata

pae saqi pe hi ek sajda ada ho jata

wo to ye kahiye ki majbur hai nazm-e-hasti

warna har banda-e-maghrur KHuda ho jata

qafile wale the mahrum-e-basirat warna

mera har naqsh-e-qadam rah-numa ho jata

gham ke maron pe bhi ai dawar-e-hashr ek nazar

aaj to faisla-e-ahl-e-wafa ho jata

yun andheron mein bhaTakte na kabhi ahl-e-KHirad

koi diwana agar rah-numa ho jata

dil teri nim-nigahi ka to mamnun sahi

dard abhi kam hai zara aur siwa ho jata

lazzat-e-gham se hai zid fitrat-e-gham ko shayad

dard hi dard na kyun dard dawa ho jata

sun ke bhar aata agar un ka bhi dil ai 'e'jaz'

qissa-e-dard ka 'unwan naya ho jata
