manzar shamshan ho gaya hai

manzar shamshān ho gayā hai

dil qabristān ho gayā hai

ik saañs ke ba.ad dūsrī saañs

jiinā bhugtān ho gayā hai

chhū aa.e haiñ ham yaqīñ kī sarhad

jis vaqt gumān ho gayā hai

sargoshiyoñ kī dhamak hai har-sū

ġhul kānoñ-kān ho gayā hai

vo lamha huuñ maiñ ki ik zamāna

mere daurān ho gayā hai

sau nok-palak palak-jhapak meñ

uqda āsān ho gayā hai

manzil vo ḳham-e-safar hai jis par

chorī sāmān ho gayā hai

ik marhala-e-kashākash-e-fan

vaj.h-e-imkān ho gayā hai

kāġhaz pe qalam zarā jo phislā

iz.hār-e-bayān ho gayā hai

paidā hote hī aadmī ko

lāhaq nisyān ho gayā hai

piilī āñkhoñ meñ zard sapne

shab ko yarqān ho gayā hai

saude meñ ġhazal ke fā.eda 'sāz'

kaisā nuqsān ho gayā hai

manzar shamshan ho gaya hai

dil qabristan ho gaya hai

ek sans ke baad dusri sans

jina bhugtan ho gaya hai

chhu aae hain hum yaqin ki sarhad

jis waqt guman ho gaya hai

sargoshiyon ki dhamak hai har-su

ghul kanon-kan ho gaya hai

wo lamha hun main ki ek zamana

mere dauran ho gaya hai

sau nok-palak palak-jhapak mein

uqda aasan ho gaya hai

manzil wo KHam-e-safar hai jis par

chori saman ho gaya hai

ek marhala-e-kashakash-e-fan

wajh-e-imkan ho gaya hai

kaghaz pe qalam zara jo phisla

izhaar-e-bayan ho gaya hai

paida hote hi aadmi ko

lahaq nisyan ho gaya hai

pili aankhon mein zard sapne

shab ko yarqan ho gaya hai

saude mein ghazal ke faeda 'saz'

kaisa nuqsan ho gaya hai
