na kar talāsh-e-asar tiir hai lagā na lagā
jo apne bas kā nahīñ us kā aasrā na lagā
hayāt lazzat-e-āzār kā hai dūsrā naam
namak chhiḌak to chhiḌak zaḳhm par davā na lagā
mire ḳhayāl kī duniyā meñ is jahāñ se duur
ye baiThe baiThe huā gum ki phir patā na lagā
ḳhushī ye dil kī hai is meñ nahīñ hai aql ko daḳhl
burā vo kahte rahe aur kuchh burā na lagā
chamak se barq kī kam-tar hai vaqfa-e-dīdār
nazar haTī ki use haath ik bahāna lagā
mirī talāsh thī tashvīsh-e-dīda-e-be-nūr
vo milte kyā mujhe apnā hī jab patā na lagā
na kar talash-e-asar tir hai laga na laga
jo apne bas ka nahin us ka aasra na laga
hayat lazzat-e-azar ka hai dusra nam
namak chhiDak to chhiDak zaKHm par dawa na laga
mere KHayal ki duniya mein is jahan se dur
ye baiThe baiThe hua gum ki phir pata na laga
KHushi ye dil ki hai is mein nahin hai aql ko daKHl
bura wo kahte rahe aur kuchh bura na laga
chamak se barq ki kam-tar hai waqfa-e-didar
nazar haTi ki use hath ek bahana laga
meri talash thi tashwish-e-dida-e-be-nur
wo milte kya mujhe apna hi jab pata na laga
