kam bhi the agar fan ke KHaridar bahut the

kam bhī the agar fan ke ḳharīdār bahut the

bikne par utar aate to bāzār bahut the

phir bhī na khulī aañkh to kyā kījiye varna

ahbāb ke jhaTke hameñ do-chār bahut the

din niklā bahattar ke sivā koī nahīñ thā

kal raat to sar dene ko tayyār bahut the

lagne na diyā jauhar-e-zātī ko kabhī zang

TuuTe hue ā.īne the ḳhud.dār bahut the

ik hausla thā jis ne rakhā ham ko salāmat

hālāt vahāñ varna dil-āzār bahut the

kirdār kā shahkār vahāñ koī nahīñ thā

mahfil meñ tirī ġhāzī-e-guftār bahut the

ai 'ḳhizr' kahāñ 'ġhālib' o 'nātiq' kahāñ ham tum

dariyā the vo aise jo guhar-bār bahut the

kam bhi the agar fan ke KHaridar bahut the

bikne par utar aate to bazar bahut the

phir bhi na khuli aankh to kya kijiye warna

ahbab ke jhaTke hamein do-chaar bahut the

din nikla bahattar ke siwa koi nahin tha

kal raat to sar dene ko tayyar bahut the

lagne na diya jauhar-e-zati ko kabhi zang

TuTe hue aaine the KHuddar bahut the

ek hausla tha jis ne rakha hum ko salamat

haalat wahan warna dil-azar bahut the

kirdar ka shahkar wahan koi nahin tha

mahfil mein teri ghazi-e-guftar bahut the

ai 'KHizr' kahan 'ghaalib' o 'natiq' kahan hum tum

dariya the wo aise jo guhar-bar bahut the
