kya daur hai ki jo bhi suKHanwar mila mujhe

kyā daur hai ki jo bhī suḳhanvar milā mujhe

gum-gashta apnī zaat ke andar milā mujhe

kis pyaar se gayā thā tirī āstīñ ke paas

shāḳh-e-hinā kī chaah meñ ḳhanjar milā mujhe

is zulmat-e-hayāt meñ ik lafz pyaar kā

jab mil gayā to māh-e-munavvar milā mujhe

sūrat-garān-e-asr kā thā intizār-kash

terī rah-e-talab meñ jo patthar milā mujhe

roz-e-azal se kār-gah-e-hast meñ 'suhail'

dil hī ġham-e-hayāt kā mehvar milā mujhe

kya daur hai ki jo bhi suKHanwar mila mujhe

gum-gashta apni zat ke andar mila mujhe

kis pyar se gaya tha teri aastin ke pas

shaKH-e-hina ki chah mein KHanjar mila mujhe

is zulmat-e-hayat mein ek lafz pyar ka

jab mil gaya to mah-e-munawwar mila mujhe

surat-garan-e-asr ka tha intizar-kash

teri rah-e-talab mein jo patthar mila mujhe

roz-e-azal se kar-gah-e-hast mein 'suhail'

dil hi gham-e-hayat ka mehwar mila mujhe
