abas hai naz-e-istighna pe kal ki kya KHabar kya ho

abas hai nāz-e-istiġhnā pe kal kī kyā ḳhabar kyā ho

ḳhudā ma.alūm ye sāmān kyā ho jaa.e sar kyā ho

ye āh-e-be-asar kyā ho ye naḳhl-e-be-samar kyā ho

na ho jab dard hī yā-rab to dil kyā ho jigar kyā ho

jahāñ insān kho jaatā ho ḳhud phir us kī mahfil meñ

rasā.ī kis tarah ho daḳhl kyūñkar ho guzar kyā ho

na pūchhūñgā maiñ ye bhī jaam meñ hai zahr yā amrit

tumhāre haath se andesha-e-naf-o-zarar kyā ho

muravvat se ho begāna vafā se duur ho kosoñ

ye sach hai nāznīñ ho ḳhūbsūrat ho magar kyā ho

shagūfe dekh kar muTThī meñ zar ko muskurāte haiñ

ki jab umr is qadar kotāh rakhte haiñ to zar kyā ho

rahā kartī hai ye hairat mujhe zuhd-e-riyā.ī par

ḳhudā se jo nahīñ Dartā use bande kā Dar kyā ho

kahā maiñ ne ki 'nazm'-e-mubtalā martā hai hasrat meñ

kahā us ne agar mar jaa.e to merā zarar kyā ho

kahā maiñ ne ki hai soz-e-jigar aur uff nahīñ kartā

kahā is kī ijāzat hī nahīñ phir nauhagar kyā ho

kahā maiñ ne ki de us ko ijāzat aah karne kī

kahā us ne bhaḌak uTThe agar soz-e-jigar kyā ho

kahā maiñ ne ki aañsū aañkh kā lekin nahīñ thamtā

kahā āñkheñ koī talvoñ se mal Daale agar kyā ho

kahā maiñ ne qadam bhar par hai vo sūrat dikhā aao

kahā muñh pher kar itnā kisī ko dard-e-sar kyā ho

kahā maiñ ne asar mutlaq nahīñ kyā sañg-dil hai tū

kahā jab dil ho patthar kā to patthar par asar kyā ho

kahā maiñ ne jo mar jaa.e to kyā ho soch tū dil meñ

kahā nā-āqibat-andesh ne kuchh soch kar kyā ho

kahā maiñ ne ḳhabar bhī hai ki dī jaañ us ne ghuT ghaT kar

kahā mar jaa.e chupke se to phir mujh ko ḳhabar kyā ho

abas hai naz-e-istighna pe kal ki kya KHabar kya ho

KHuda malum ye saman kya ho jae sar kya ho

ye aah-e-be-asar kya ho ye naKHl-e-be-samar kya ho

na ho jab dard hi ya-rab to dil kya ho jigar kya ho

jahan insan kho jata ho KHud phir us ki mahfil mein

rasai kis tarah ho daKHl kyunkar ho guzar kya ho

na puchhunga main ye bhi jam mein hai zahr ya amrit

tumhaare hath se andesha-e-naf-o-zarar kya ho

murawwat se ho begana wafa se dur ho koson

ye sach hai naznin ho KHubsurat ho magar kya ho

shagufe dekh kar muTThi mein zar ko muskuraate hain

ki jab umr is qadar kotah rakhte hain to zar kya ho

raha karti hai ye hairat mujhe zuhd-e-riyai par

KHuda se jo nahin Darta use bande ka Dar kya ho

kaha main ne ki 'nazm'-e-mubtala marta hai hasrat mein

kaha us ne agar mar jae to mera zarar kya ho

kaha main ne ki hai soz-e-jigar aur uff nahin karta

kaha is ki ijazat hi nahin phir nauhagar kya ho

kaha main ne ki de us ko ijazat aah karne ki

kaha us ne bhaDak uTThe agar soz-e-jigar kya ho

kaha main ne ki aansu aankh ka lekin nahin thamta

kaha aankhen koi talwon se mal Dale agar kya ho

kaha main ne qadam bhar par hai wo surat dikha aao

kaha munh pher kar itna kisi ko dard-e-sar kya ho

kaha main ne asar mutlaq nahin kya sang-dil hai tu

kaha jab dil ho patthar ka to patthar par asar kya ho

kaha main ne jo mar jae to kya ho soch tu dil mein

kaha na-aqibat-andesh ne kuchh soch kar kya ho

kaha main ne KHabar bhi hai ki di jaan us ne ghuT ghaT kar

kaha mar jae chupke se to phir mujh ko KHabar kya ho
