kahiye ab kis se dard-e-pinhani

kahiye ab kis se dard-e-pinhānī

ik shab-e-hijr vo bhī tūlānī

ek baaqī rahegī us kī zaat

saarā aalam hai āni-o-fānī

jām-e-jamshed be-haqīqat hai

sāqiyā de sharāb-e-raihānī

dil meñ us kī na hogī kyūñkar chaah

us kā jalva hai husn-e-kan.ānī

dil ke ā.īne meñ use dekhā

baḌh ga.ī aur merī hairānī

vahdahū-lā-sharīka-lah ke sivā

sajda kis ko kare ye peshānī

vo nigahbān apnā hai har dam

ḳhuub use aatī hai nigahbānī

us ke darbār meñ guzar kyā ho

ye faqīr aur bazm-e-sultānī

aate aate ba-mushkil aatī hai

koī āsāñ nahīñ zabāñ-dānī

kyā karegā ilaaj is kā masīh

kyā sunā.ūñ maiñ dard-e-pinhānī

vahī mushkil karegā āsāñ 'shād'

shādmānī meñ hai sab āsānī

kahiye ab kis se dard-e-pinhani

ek shab-e-hijr wo bhi tulani

ek baqi rahegi us ki zat

sara aalam hai aani-o-fani

jam-e-jamshed be-haqiqat hai

saqiya de sharab-e-raihani

dil mein us ki na hogi kyunkar chah

us ka jalwa hai husn-e-kanani

dil ke aaine mein use dekha

baDh gai aur meri hairani

wahdahu-la-sharika-lah ke siwa

sajda kis ko kare ye peshani

wo nigahban apna hai har dam

KHub use aati hai nigahbani

us ke darbar mein guzar kya ho

ye faqir aur bazm-e-sultani

aate aate ba-mushkil aati hai

koi aasan nahin zaban-dani

kya karega ilaj is ka masih

kya sunaun main dard-e-pinhani

wahi mushkil karega aasan 'shad'

shadmani mein hai sab aasani
