maine hi na kuchh khoya jo paya na kisi ko
maiñ ne hī na kuchh khoyā jo paayā na kisī ko
us ne bhī to puurā na kiyā merī kamī ko
hai maujzan ik qulzum-e-ḳhūñ siine meñ ab tak
darkār nahīñ aur mirī tishna-labī ko
hañste unheñ dekhā to bahut phuuT ke ro.e
jo log taraste rahe ik umr hañsī ko
kuchh aisī tabī.at milī ham ahl-e-chaman ko
bardāsht kiyā hai kabhī shabnam na kalī ko
har ashk ajab gauhar-e-yak-dāna hai 'shohrat'
girya baḌī daulat hai jo miltī hai kisī ko
main ne hi na kuchh khoya jo paya na kisi ko
us ne bhi to pura na kiya meri kami ko
hai maujzan ek qulzum-e-KHun sine mein ab tak
darkar nahin aur meri tishna-labi ko
hanste unhen dekha to bahut phuT ke roe
jo log taraste rahe ek umr hansi ko
kuchh aisi tabiat mili hum ahl-e-chaman ko
bardasht kiya hai kabhi shabnam na kali ko
har ashk ajab gauhar-e-yak-dana hai 'shohrat'
girya baDi daulat hai jo milti hai kisi ko
