lakh nadan hain magar itni saza bhi na mile
laakh nādāñ haiñ magar itnī sazā bhī na mile
chārasāzoñ ko mirī shām-e-balā bhī na mile
hasrat-āgīñ to hai nākāmī-e-manzil lekin
lutf to jab hai ki ḳhud apnā patā bhī na mile
kuchh nigāhoñ se ġham-e-dil kī ḳhabar miltī hai
varna ham vo haiñ ki bātoñ se havā bhī na mile
ḳhvāhish-e-dād-rasī kyā ho sitam-gar se jahāñ
aañkh meñ shā.iba-e-uzr-e-jafā bhī na mile
is qadar qaht-e-basīrat bhī nahīñ ai vaa.iz
ham butoñ ke liye nikleñ to ḳhudā bhī na mile
ishq vo arsa-e-pur-ḳhār hai hamdam ki jahāñ
zindagī raas na aa.e to qazā bhī na mile
kyā qayāmat hai tabī.at kī ravānī 'vāris'
koī DhūñDhe to nishān-e-kaf-e-pā bhī na mile
lakh nadan hain magar itni saza bhi na mile
chaarasazon ko meri sham-e-bala bhi na mile
hasrat-agin to hai nakaami-e-manzil lekin
lutf to jab hai ki KHud apna pata bhi na mile
kuchh nigahon se gham-e-dil ki KHabar milti hai
warna hum wo hain ki baaton se hawa bhi na mile
KHwahish-e-dad-rasi kya ho sitam-gar se jahan
aankh mein shaiba-e-uzr-e-jafa bhi na mile
is qadar qaht-e-basirat bhi nahin ai waiz
hum buton ke liye niklen to KHuda bhi na mile
ishq wo arsa-e-pur-KHar hai hamdam ki jahan
zindagi ras na aae to qaza bhi na mile
kya qayamat hai tabiat ki rawani 'waris'
koi DhunDhe to nishan-e-kaf-e-pa bhi na mile
