na koi mehrban apna na koi raaz-dan apna
na koī mehrbāñ apnā na koī rāz-dāñ apnā
jise samjhe the apnā dil vo dil bhī ab kahāñ apnā
jo ho chashm-e-karam terī jo ho tū mehrbāñ apnā
zamīñ apnī falak apnā makīñ apne makāñ apnā
vo le kar aa.ina baiThe the lene imtihāñ apnā
kiyā hāthoñ se apne dāman-e-dil dhajjiyāñ apnā
bhaTakte phir rahe haiñ justujū-e-yār meñ ab tak
kahīñ Tikne nahīñ detā hameñ vahm-o-gumāñ apnā
javānī meñ kise nekī badī kā hosh hotā hai
javānī meñ nahīñ kuchh sūjhtā sūd-o-ziyāñ apnā
zamāne ne vo karvaT merī duniyā badal Daalī
na ab hai rāz-dāñ koī na koī mehrbāñ apnā
kisī ko yaad ham aate nahīñ is anjuman meñ ab
ba-hamdillāh zikr-e-ḳhair rahtā thā jahāñ apnā
vo gul haiñ ham gulistāñ se uḌe yuuñ bū-e-gul ban kar
na DhūñDe se milā gulchīñ ko phir nām-o-nishāñ apnā
mazā ustād ke she'roñ kā ham ko 'shād' aatā hai
vo hai tarz-e-suḳhan apnī vo hai rañg-e-bayāñ apnā
na koi mehrban apna na koi raaz-dan apna
jise samjhe the apna dil wo dil bhi ab kahan apna
jo ho chashm-e-karam teri jo ho tu mehrban apna
zamin apni falak apna makin apne makan apna
wo le kar aaina baiThe the lene imtihan apna
kiya hathon se apne daman-e-dil dhajjiyan apna
bhaTakte phir rahe hain justuju-e-yar mein ab tak
kahin Tikne nahin deta hamein wahm-o-guman apna
jawani mein kise neki badi ka hosh hota hai
jawani mein nahin kuchh sujhta sud-o-ziyan apna
zamane ne wo karwaT meri duniya badal Dali
na ab hai raaz-dan koi na koi mehrban apna
kisi ko yaad hum aate nahin is anjuman mein ab
ba-hamdillah zikr-e-KHair rahta tha jahan apna
wo gul hain hum gulistan se uDe yun bu-e-gul ban kar
na DhunDe se mila gulchin ko phir nam-o-nishan apna
maza ustad ke she'ron ka hum ko 'shad' aata hai
wo hai tarz-e-suKHan apni wo hai rang-e-bayan apna
