ma.asūm nazar kā bholā-pan lalchā ke lubhānā kyā jaane
dil aap nishāna bantā hai vo tiir chalānā kyā jaane
kah jaatī hai kyā vo chīn-e-jabīñ ye aaj samajh sakte haiñ kahīñ
kuchh sīkhā huā to kaam nahīñ dil naaz uThānā kyā jaane
chaTkī jo kalī koyal kuukī ulfat kī kahānī ḳhatm huī
kyā kis ne kahī kyā kis ne sunī ye batā zamāna kyā jaane
thā dair-o-haram meñ kyā rakhā jis samt gayā Takrā ke phirā
kis parde ke pīchhe hai sho.ala andhā parvāna kyā jaane
ye zorā-zorī ishq kī thī fitrat hī jis ne badal Daalī
jaltā huā dil ho kar paanī aañsū ban jaanā kyā jaane
sajdoñ se paḌā patthar meñ gaḌhā lekin na miTā māthe kā likhā
karne ko ġharīb ne kyā na kiyā taqdīr banānā kyā jaane
āñkhoñ kī andhī ḳhud-ġharzī kaahe ko samajhne degī kabhī
jo niiñd uḌā de rātoñ kī vo ḳhvāb meñ aanā kyā jaane
patthar kī lakīr hai naqsh-e-vafā ā.īna na jaano talvoñ kā
lahrāyā kare rañgīñ-sho.ala dil palTe khānā kyā jaane
jis naale se duniyā bekal hai vo jalte dil kī mash.al hai
jo pahlā luukā ḳhud na sahe vo aag lagānā kyā jaane
ham 'ārzū' aa.e baiThe haiñ aur vo sharmā.e baiThe haiñ
mushtāq-nazar gustāḳh nahīñ parda sarkānā kyā jaane
masum nazar ka bhola-pan lalcha ke lubhana kya jaane
dil aap nishana banta hai wo tir chalana kya jaane
kah jati hai kya wo chin-e-jabin ye aaj samajh sakte hain kahin
kuchh sikha hua to kaam nahin dil naz uThana kya jaane
chaTki jo kali koyal kuki ulfat ki kahani KHatm hui
kya kis ne kahi kya kis ne suni ye bata zamana kya jaane
tha dair-o-haram mein kya rakha jis samt gaya Takra ke phira
kis parde ke pichhe hai shoala andha parwana kya jaane
ye zora-zori ishq ki thi fitrat hi jis ne badal Dali
jalta hua dil ho kar pani aansu ban jaana kya jaane
sajdon se paDa patthar mein gaDha lekin na miTa mathe ka likha
karne ko gharib ne kya na kiya taqdir banana kya jaane
aankhon ki andhi KHud-gharzi kahe ko samajhne degi kabhi
jo nind uDa de raaton ki wo KHwab mein aana kya jaane
patthar ki lakir hai naqsh-e-wafa aaina na jaano talwon ka
lahraya kare rangin-shoala dil palTe khana kya jaane
jis nale se duniya bekal hai wo jalte dil ki mashal hai
jo pahla luka KHud na sahe wo aag lagana kya jaane
hum 'arzu' aae baiThe hain aur wo sharmae baiThe hain
mushtaq-nazar gustaKH nahin parda sarkana kya jaane
