KHuda malum kaisa sehr tha is but ki chitwan mein

ḳhudā ma.alūm kaisā sehr thā is but kī chitvan meñ

chale jaatī haiñ ab tak chashmakeñ shaiḳh-o-barahman meñ

chhupeñge kyā asīrān-e-balā sahrā ke dāman meñ

mohabbat daam kī phir khīñch kar lā.egī gulshan meñ

hijāb uTThā zamīñ se āsmāñ tak chāñdnī chhiTkī

gahan meñ chāñd thā jab tak chhupe baiThe the chilman meñ

kanakhiyoñ se jo ham ko bazm meñ tum dekh lete ho

khaTak jaate haiñ kāñTe kī tarah ham-chashm-e-dushman meñ

kanār-e-ābjū baiThe haiñ mast-e-nik.hat-e-sāġhar

nazar sū-e-falak aur haath hai miinā kī gardan meñ

galā ghuTne lagā ab tañg aayā huuñ garebāñ se

junūñ ne vaah kyā phāñsī lagā.ī merī gardan meñ

bahut dast-e-junūñ ne gudgudāyā jab to kyā karte

utārīñ beḌiyāñ aur pahne duhre tauq gardan meñ

batāo sair-e-sahrā kī koī tadbīr vahshī ko

garebāñ meñ to haath uljhā phañsā hai paañv dāman meñ

milā de ḳhaak meñ ai charḳh is ujḌe hue ghar ko

ki apnī ruuh tak bechain hai ab ḳhāna-e-tan meñ

thake-māñde safar ke so rahe haiñ paañv phailā.e

ye sab mar mar ke pahuñche haiñ baḌī mushkil se madfan meñ

jo har-dam jhāñkte the rauzan-e-dīvār-e-zindāñ se

unheñ phir chain aayā kis tarah tārīk madfan meñ

kise ma.alūm dāġh-e-ātishīñ se dil pe kyā guzrī

sidhāre ThanDe ThanDe sauñp kar sab ham ko madfan meñ

kujā muusā kujā maqsūd sub.hānallazī-asrā

ragaḌ kar eḌiyāñ bas rah ga.e vādī-e-aiman meñ

hijāb-e-nāz be-jā 'yās' jis din beach meñ aayā

usī din se laḌā.ī Than ga.ī shaiḳh-o-barahman meñ

KHuda malum kaisa sehr tha is but ki chitwan mein

chale jati hain ab tak chashmaken shaiKH-o-barahman mein

chhupenge kya asiran-e-bala sahra ke daman mein

mohabbat dam ki phir khinch kar laegi gulshan mein

hijab uTTha zamin se aasman tak chandni chhiTki

gahan mein chand tha jab tak chhupe baiThe the chilman mein

kanakhiyon se jo hum ko bazm mein tum dekh lete ho

khaTak jate hain kanTe ki tarah ham-chashm-e-dushman mein

kanar-e-abju baiThe hain mast-e-nikhat-e-saghar

nazar su-e-falak aur hath hai mina ki gardan mein

gala ghuTne laga ab tang aaya hun gareban se

junun ne wah kya phansi lagai meri gardan mein

bahut dast-e-junun ne gudgudaya jab to kya karte

utarin beDiyan aur pahne duhre tauq gardan mein

batao sair-e-sahra ki koi tadbir wahshi ko

gareban mein to hath uljha phansa hai panw daman mein

mila de KHak mein ai charKH is ujDe hue ghar ko

ki apni ruh tak bechain hai ab KHana-e-tan mein

thake-mande safar ke so rahe hain panw phailae

ye sab mar mar ke pahunche hain baDi mushkil se madfan mein

jo har-dam jhankte the rauzan-e-diwar-e-zindan se

unhen phir chain aaya kis tarah tarik madfan mein

kise malum dagh-e-atishin se dil pe kya guzri

sidhaare ThanDe ThanDe saunp kar sab hum ko madfan mein

kuja musa kuja maqsud subhanallazi-asra

ragaD kar eDiyan bas rah gae wadi-e-aiman mein

hijab-e-naz be-ja 'yas' jis din beach mein aaya

usi din se laDai Than gai shaiKH-o-barahman mein
