maiñ ro rahā huuñ jo dil ko to bekasī ke liye
vagar na maut to duniyā meñ hai sabhī ke liye
shab-e-firāq kī rozāna āfateñ tauba
ye imtihān to hotā kabhī kabhī ke liye
bahut sī umr miTā kar jise banāyā thā
makāñ vo jal gayā thoḌī sī raushnī ke liye
vasī.a bazm-e-jahāñ hai to ho mujhe kyā kaam
jagah milī na mirī hasrat-dilī ke liye
ye aur dāman-e-qātil hai chhūT jā.egā
lahū meñ josh to barsoñ se thā isī ke liye
na aañkh band karūñ maiñ to kyā karūñ yārab
vo aa rahe haiñ tamāshā-e-jāñ-kanī ke liye
bulā ke mujh ko nikālā hai apnī mahfil se
vo nekiyāñ nahīñ achchhī haiñ jo ho badī ke liye
qafas meñ aaj tamāshā-e-ġham hai qābil-e-dīd
taḌap rahā huuñ maiñ sayyād kī ḳhushī ke liye
tamām ho ga.e ham ik nigāh-e-qātil se
rageñ gale kī taḌaptī rahīñ chhurī ke liye
faroġh-e-husn baḌhā dil kī be-navā.ī se
faqīr ho gayā shān-e-tavañgarī ke liye
qafas meñ chup na hoñ to kyā karūñ ki ye qaidī
na dostī ke liye hai na dushmanī ke liye
tamām bazm meñ chhāyā huā hai sannāTā
chhuḌā thā qissa-e-dil un kī dil-lagī ke liye
shikāyat-e-chaman-e-dahr kyā karūñ 'sāqib'
havā ḳhilāf hai lekin kisī kisī ke liye
main ro raha hun jo dil ko to bekasi ke liye
wagar na maut to duniya mein hai sabhi ke liye
shab-e-firaq ki rozana aafaten tauba
ye imtihan to hota kabhi kabhi ke liye
bahut si umr miTa kar jise banaya tha
makan wo jal gaya thoDi si raushni ke liye
wasia bazm-e-jahan hai to ho mujhe kya kaam
jagah mili na meri hasrat-dili ke liye
ye aur daman-e-qatil hai chhuT jaega
lahu mein josh to barson se tha isi ke liye
na aankh band karun main to kya karun yarab
wo aa rahe hain tamasha-e-jaan-kani ke liye
bula ke mujh ko nikala hai apni mahfil se
wo nekiyan nahin achchhi hain jo ho badi ke liye
qafas mein aaj tamasha-e-gham hai qabil-e-did
taDap raha hun main sayyaad ki KHushi ke liye
tamam ho gae hum ek nigah-e-qatil se
ragen gale ki taDapti rahin chhuri ke liye
farogh-e-husn baDha dil ki be-nawai se
faqir ho gaya shan-e-tawangari ke liye
qafas mein chup na hon to kya karun ki ye qaidi
na dosti ke liye hai na dushmani ke liye
tamam bazm mein chhaya hua hai sannaTa
chhuDa tha qissa-e-dil un ki dil-lagi ke liye
shikayat-e-chaman-e-dahr kya karun 'saqib'
hawa KHilaf hai lekin kisi kisi ke liye
