kab nigah uski ishwa-bar nahin
kab nigah us kī ishva-bār nahīñ
kab nigāheñ karishma-zār nahīñ
ġhair par rahm ye kise aayā
tum to maanā sitam-shi.ār nahīñ
yaañ fuġhāñ se lahū Tapaktā hai
maiñ navā-sanj-e-shāḳhsār nahīñ
kulfat-e-dil se hai jo ālūda
gauhar-e-ashk ābdār nahīñ
ham haiñ aise farāḳh-rū darvesh
mahfil-e-pādshah se aar nahīñ
na jalā ḳhāna-e-adū to na hañs
shola-e-āh hai sharār nahīñ
baaġh be-sarfa chal ke kyā kiije
jin se thī baaġh kī bahār nahīñ
baada behūda pī ke kyā kiije
ab vo saaqī nahīñ vo yaar nahīñ
ai munajjam abas ye nādānī
tū kuchh andāza-dān-e-kār nahīñ
tū ravish-yāb-e-mehr-o-māh ġhalat
tū adā-sanj-e-rozgār nahīñ
vāqif asrār-e-āsmānī se
juz harīfān-e-bāda-ḳhvār nahīñ
chaḌh ga.e haiñ kisī ke phir dam par
'sheftā' aaj be-qarār nahīñ
kab nigah us ki ishwa-bar nahin
kab nigahen karishma-zar nahin
ghair par rahm ye kise aaya
tum to mana sitam-shiar nahin
yan fughan se lahu Tapakta hai
main nawa-sanj-e-shaKHsar nahin
kulfat-e-dil se hai jo aaluda
gauhar-e-ashk aabdar nahin
hum hain aise faraKH-ru darwesh
mahfil-e-padshah se aar nahin
na jala KHana-e-adu to na hans
shola-e-ah hai sharar nahin
bagh be-sarfa chal ke kya kije
jin se thi bagh ki bahaar nahin
baada behuda pi ke kya kije
ab wo saqi nahin wo yar nahin
ai munajjam abas ye nadani
tu kuchh andaza-dan-e-kar nahin
tu rawish-yab-e-mehr-o-mah ghalat
tu ada-sanj-e-rozgar nahin
waqif asrar-e-asmani se
juz harifan-e-baada-KHwar nahin
chaDh gae hain kisi ke phir dam par
'shefta' aaj be-qarar nahin
