na chheD tazkire hargiz gham-e-nihani par
na chheḌ tazkire hargiz ġham-e-nihānī par
vo shaḳhs ro na paḌe ġham kī tarjumānī par
na varġhalā.iye sāhab hameñ mohabbat se
hameñ yaqīñ na gumāñ 'ishq kī kahānī par
sitam uThāyā kiye aur suḳhan-shanās hue
ye tajraba bhī kiyā apnī be-zabānī par
ye shahr jhuuT kā haamī hai haq-parasto yahāñ
zabāneñ kaaT dī jaatī haiñ haq-bayānī par
muhāl hai ki tire dar se uTh ke jā pā.ūñ
ye jaan sadqe magar aisī nā-tavānī par
sila yahī hai vafāoñ kā jāntā huuñ maiñ
so ġham-zada maiñ nahīñ apnī rā.egānī par
jinheñ shu'ūr nahīñ kuchh bhī she’r-goī kā
vo tanz kas rahe haiñ merī she’r-ḳhvānī par
bajā.e ḳhushbū ke vahshat bikhertī hai 'karan'
tilism phūñk diyā kis ne rāt-rānī par
na chheD tazkire hargiz gham-e-nihani par
wo shaKHs ro na paDe gham ki tarjumani par
na warghalaiye sahab hamein mohabbat se
hamein yaqin na guman 'ishq ki kahani par
sitam uThaya kiye aur suKHan-shanas hue
ye tajraba bhi kiya apni be-zabani par
ye shahr jhuT ka hami hai haq-parasto yahan
zabanen kaT di jati hain haq-bayani par
muhaal hai ki tere dar se uTh ke ja paun
ye jaan sadqe magar aisi na-tawani par
sila yahi hai wafaon ka jaanta hun main
so gham-zada main nahin apni raegani par
jinhen shu'ur nahin kuchh bhi she’r-goi ka
wo tanz kas rahe hain meri she’r-KHwani par
bajae KHushbu ke wahshat bikherti hai 'karan'
tilism phunk diya kis ne raat-rani par
