kuchh is tarah se nazar se guzar gaya koi

kuchh is tarah se nazar se guzar gayā koī

ki dil ko ġham kā sazā-vār kar gayā koī

dil-e-sitam-zada ko jaise kuchh huā hī nahīñ

ḳhud apne husn se yuuñ be-ḳhabar gayā koī

vo ek jalva-e-sad-rang ik hujūm-e-bahār

na jaane kaun thā jaane kidhar gayā koī

nazar ki tishna-e-dīdār thī rahī mahrūm

nazar uThā.ī to dil meñ utar gayā koī

nigāh-e-shauq kī mahrūmiyoñ se nā-vāqif

nigāh-e-shauq pe ilzām dhar gayā koī

ab un ke husn meñ husn-e-nazar bhī shāmil hai

kuchh aur merī nazar se sañvar gayā koī

kisī ke paañv kī aahaT ki dil kī dhaḌkan thī

hazār baar uThā sū-e-dar gayā koī

nasīb-e-ahl-e-vafā ye sukūn-e-dil to na thā

zarūr nāla-e-dil be-asar gayā koī

uThā phir aaj mire dil meñ rashk kā tūfāñ

phir un kī raah se bā-chashm-e-tar gayā koī

ye kah ke yaad kareñge 'hafīz' dost mujhe

vafā kī rasm ko pā.inda kar gayā koī

kuchh is tarah se nazar se guzar gaya koi

ki dil ko gham ka saza-war kar gaya koi

dil-e-sitam-zada ko jaise kuchh hua hi nahin

KHud apne husn se yun be-KHabar gaya koi

wo ek jalwa-e-sad-rang ek hujum-e-bahaar

na jaane kaun tha jaane kidhar gaya koi

nazar ki tishna-e-didar thi rahi mahrum

nazar uThai to dil mein utar gaya koi

nigah-e-shauq ki mahrumiyon se na-waqif

nigah-e-shauq pe ilzam dhar gaya koi

ab un ke husn mein husn-e-nazar bhi shamil hai

kuchh aur meri nazar se sanwar gaya koi

kisi ke panw ki aahaT ki dil ki dhaDkan thi

hazar bar uTha su-e-dar gaya koi

nasib-e-ahl-e-wafa ye sukun-e-dil to na tha

zarur nala-e-dil be-asar gaya koi

uTha phir aaj mere dil mein rashk ka tufan

phir un ki rah se ba-chashm-e-tar gaya koi

ye kah ke yaad karenge 'hafiz' dost mujhe

wafa ki rasm ko painda kar gaya koi
