kya banae sane-e-qudrat ne pyare hath panw

kyā banā.e sāne-e-qudrat ne pyāre haath paañv

nuur ke sāñche meñ Dhāle haiñ tumhāre haath paañv

zo.af-e-pīrī chhā gayā zor-e-javānī chal basā

ab chaleñ batlā.īye kis ke sahāre haath paañv

machhliyāñ baazū pe ubhrīñ sāq-e-pā sham.eñ banīñ

ḳhuub sāhab ne nikāle ab to baare haath paañv

fauq hiire se nahīñ hai merī jaañ yāqūt ko

kyuuñ rañge haiñ aap ne mehñdī se saare haath paañv

mānī-o-bahzād ne mulk-e-adam kī raah lī

vo kamar mutlaq na paa.ī laakh maare haath paañv

ham na kahte the ki har dam shoḳhiyāñ achchhī nahīñ

āḳhirash mehñdī ne bāñdhe lo tumhāre haath paañv

hāthā-pā.ī meñ bhī ham chūke na apne kaam se

vasl kī shab yaar ne kyā kyā na maare haath paañv

hai za.īfī meñ bhī ham ko naujavānī kā ḳhayāl

dil nahīñ haarā hai ab tak go ki haare haath paañv

ġhair kī dhamkī se ham Dar jaa.eñ ye mumkin nahīñ

aise buude bhī nahīñ haiñ kuchh hamāre haath paañv

ma.adan-e-yāqūt ko dariyā banāyā aap ne

mehñdī mal kar dho.e jab dariyā kināre haath paañv

is buḌhāpe meñ bhī 'āġhā' so javāñ meñ ek hai

go za.īfī aa ga.ī par haiñ karāre haath paañv

kya banae sane-e-qudrat ne pyare hath panw

nur ke sanche mein Dhaale hain tumhaare hath panw

zoaf-e-piri chha gaya zor-e-jawani chal basa

ab chalen batlaiye kis ke sahaare hath panw

machhliyan bazu pe ubhrin saq-e-pa shamen banin

KHub sahab ne nikale ab to bare hath panw

fauq hire se nahin hai meri jaan yaqut ko

kyun range hain aap ne mehndi se sare hath panw

mani-o-bahzad ne mulk-e-adam ki rah li

wo kamar mutlaq na pai lakh mare hath panw

hum na kahte the ki har dam shoKHiyan achchhi nahin

aaKHirash mehndi ne bandhe lo tumhaare hath panw

hatha-pai mein bhi hum chuke na apne kaam se

wasl ki shab yar ne kya kya na mare hath panw

hai zaifi mein bhi hum ko naujawani ka KHayal

dil nahin haara hai ab tak go ki haare hath panw

ghair ki dhamki se hum Dar jaen ye mumkin nahin

aise bude bhi nahin hain kuchh hamare hath panw

madan-e-yaqut ko dariya banaya aap ne

mehndi mal kar dhoe jab dariya kinare hath panw

is buDhape mein bhi 'agha' so jawan mein ek hai

go zaifi aa gai par hain karare hath panw
