KHizar kya hum to is jine mein bazi sab se jite hain

ḳhizar kyā ham to is jiine meñ baazī sab se jiite haiñ

dam ab uktā gayā allāhu-akbar kab se jiite haiñ

samajh le qāsidoñ ne kuchh to aisī hī ḳhabar dī hai

kaheñ kyā tujh se ai nāseh ki jis matlab se jiite haiñ

kisī hālat na ham se baḌh sakegī raat furqat kī

ki ham baazī siyah-baḳhtī meñ bhī is shab se jiite haiñ

dam apnā ghuT ke kab kā hijr-e-jānāñ meñ nikal jaatā

madad-gārī-e-shor-e-na.ara-e-yārab se jiite haiñ

ise bāvar kar ai ġham-ḳhvār kab ke mar ga.e hote

payām-e-vasl jab se sun liyā hai tab se jiite haiñ

zabāñ qaabū meñ hai sunñe ko tashbīheñ sune jaao

nazākat meñ kahāñ aurāq-e-gul us lab se jiite haiñ

abas daryāft karte ho sabab is saḳht-jānī kā

ḳhudā jaane ki ham ai 'shād' kis matlab se jiite haiñ

KHizar kya hum to is jine mein bazi sab se jite hain

dam ab ukta gaya allahu-akbar kab se jite hain

samajh le qasidon ne kuchh to aisi hi KHabar di hai

kahen kya tujh se ai naseh ki jis matlab se jite hain

kisi haalat na hum se baDh sakegi raat furqat ki

ki hum bazi siyah-baKHti mein bhi is shab se jite hain

dam apna ghuT ke kab ka hijr-e-jaanan mein nikal jata

madad-gari-e-shor-e-nara-e-yarab se jite hain

ise bawar kar ai gham-KHwar kab ke mar gae hote

payam-e-wasl jab se sun liya hai tab se jite hain

zaban qabu mein hai sunne ko tashbihen sune jao

nazakat mein kahan auraq-e-gul us lab se jite hain

abas daryaft karte ho sabab is saKHt-jaani ka

KHuda jaane ki hum ai 'shad' kis matlab se jite hain
