KHarab-e-dard hue gham-parastiyon mein rahe
ḳharāb-e-dard hue ġham-parastiyoñ meñ rahe
ḳhushī kī khoj bahāna thī mastiyoñ meñ rahe
huā husūl-e-zar-e-fan baḌī kashākash se
ham ek umr ajab tañg-dastiyoñ meñ rahe
har ik se jhuk ke mile yuuñ ki sarfarāz hue
chaTān jaise ḳhamīda sī pastiyoñ meñ rahe
chubhan kī naav meñ pur kī ḳhalīj rishtoñ kī
ajab mazāq se ham ghar girhastiy.on meñ rahe
kitābeñ chehre manāzir tamām bāda-kade

masāfateñ thiiñ shab-e-fikr kin zamānoñ kī
kahāñ kahāñ ga.e ham kaisī hastiyoñ meñ rahe
ḳhulūs-e-fikr kī galiyoñ meñ ghūmte tanhā
ham apne sher kī ābād bastiyoñ meñ rahe
KHarab-e-dard hue gham-parastiyon mein rahe
KHushi ki khoj bahana thi mastiyon mein rahe
hua husul-e-zar-e-fan baDi kashakash se
hum ek umr ajab tang-dastiyon mein rahe
har ek se jhuk ke mile yun ki sarfaraaz hue
chaTan jaise KHamida si pastiyon mein rahe
chubhan ki naw mein pur ki KHalij rishton ki
ajab mazaq se hum ghar girhastiyon mein rahe
kitaben chehre manazir tamam baada-kade
bataen kya ki baDi mai-parastiyon mein rahe
masafaten thin shab-e-fikr kin zamanon ki
kahan kahan gae hum kaisi hastiyon mein rahe
KHulus-e-fikr ki galiyon mein ghumte tanha
hum apne sher ki aabaad bastiyon mein rahe
