muddat se DhunDti hai kisi ki nazar mujhe

muddat se DhūñDtī hai kisī kī nazar mujhe

maiñ kis maqām par huuñ nahīñ hai ḳhabar mujhe

āvārgī uḌaa.e phirī misl-e-bū-e-gul

koī pukārtā hī rahā umr bhar mujhe

yuuñ jā rahā huuñ jaise na ā.ūñgā phir kabhī

muḌ muḌ ke dekhtī hai tirī rahguzar mujhe

kyā jaane kis ḳhayāl se chehra damak uThā

maiñ chāra-gar ko dekhtā huuñ chāra-gar mujhe

ahd-e-ḳhizāñ bahār kī rut naam haiñ faqat

kyā baat kah ga.ī hai nasīm-e-sahar mujhe

manzil pe aa ke 'shād' ajab hādisa huā

maiñ ham-safar ko bhuul gayā ham-safar mujhe

muddat se DhunDti hai kisi ki nazar mujhe

main kis maqam par hun nahin hai KHabar mujhe

aawargi uDae phiri misl-e-bu-e-gul

koi pukarta hi raha umr bhar mujhe

yun ja raha hun jaise na aaunga phir kabhi

muD muD ke dekhti hai teri rahguzar mujhe

kya jaane kis KHayal se chehra damak uTha

main chaara-gar ko dekhta hun chaara-gar mujhe

ahd-e-KHizan bahaar ki rut nam hain faqat

kya baat kah gai hai nasim-e-sahar mujhe

manzil pe aa ke 'shad' ajab hadisa hua

main ham-safar ko bhul gaya ham-safar mujhe
