kahan kahan na tasawwur ne dam phailae
kahāñ kahāñ na tasavvur ne daam phailā.e
hudūd-e-shām-o-sahr se nikal ke dekh aa.e
nahīñ payām rah-e-nāma-o-payām tū hai
abhī sabā se kaho un ke dil ko bahlā.e
ġhurūr-e-jādā-shanāsī bajā sahī lekin
surāġh-e-manzil-e-maqsūd bhī koī paa.e
ḳhudā vo din na dikhā.e ki rāhbar ye kahe
chale the jaane kahāñ se kahāñ nikal aa.e
guzar gayā koī darmāñda-rāh ye kahtā
ab is fazā meñ koī qāfile na Thahrā.e
na jaane un ke muqaddar meñ kyuuñ hai tīra-shabī
vo ham-navā jo sahar ko qarīb-tar laa.e
koī fareb-e-nazar hai ki tābnāk fazā
kise ḳhabar ki yahāñ kitne chāñd gahnā.e
ġham-e-zamāna tirī zulmateñ hī kyā kam thiiñ
ki baḌh chale haiñ ab un gesuoñ ke bhī saa.e
bahut buland hai is se mirā maqām-e-ġhazal
agarche maiñ ne mohabbat ke giit bhī gaa.e
'hafīz' apnā muqaddar 'hafīz' apnā nasīb
gire the phuul magar ham ne zaḳhm hī khaa.e
kahan kahan na tasawwur ne dam phailae
hudud-e-sham-o-sahr se nikal ke dekh aae
nahin payam rah-e-nama-o-payam tu hai
abhi saba se kaho un ke dil ko bahlae
ghurur-e-jada-shanasi baja sahi lekin
suragh-e-manzil-e-maqsud bhi koi pae
KHuda wo din na dikhae ki rahbar ye kahe
chale the jaane kahan se kahan nikal aae
guzar gaya koi darmanda-rah ye kahta
ab is faza mein koi qafile na Thahrae
na jaane un ke muqaddar mein kyun hai tira-shabi
wo ham-nawa jo sahar ko qarib-tar lae
koi fareb-e-nazar hai ki tabnak faza
kise KHabar ki yahan kitne chand gahnae
gham-e-zamana teri zulmaten hi kya kam thin
ki baDh chale hain ab un gesuon ke bhi sae
bahut buland hai is se mera maqam-e-ghazal
agarche main ne mohabbat ke git bhi gae
'hafiz' apna muqaddar 'hafiz' apna nasib
gire the phul magar hum ne zaKHm hi khae
