na qahqaha na tabassum na ashk paiham hai

na qahqaha na tabassum na ashk paiham hai

jahāñ pe ham haiñ vahāñ kuchh ajiib aalam hai

jo pahle aaj se thā aaj bhī vahī ġham hai

ye daur-e-jām nahīñ hai fareb-e-paiham hai

burā na maano to ik baat tum se arz karūñ

tumhārā lutf ba-andāza-e-sitam kam hai

ye sub.h-o-shām kī mastī ye nashsha-e-shab-o-roz

tire baġhair koī kaif ho mujhe sam hai

sar-e-niyāz kabhī us ke sāmne na jhukā

isī qusūr pe ham se zamāna barham hai

hai baat baat pe hajv-e-subū-o-sāġhar-o-mai

janāb-e-hazrat-e-vā.is se naak meñ dam hai

nigāh-e-nāz ko taklīf-e-iltifāt na do

ki ab to zaḳhm-e-jigar be-niyāz-e-marham hai

ḳhatā zarūr koī us se bhī huī hogī

ki āḳhir 'āsī'-e-ḳhasta bhī ibn-e-ādam hai

na qahqaha na tabassum na ashk paiham hai

jahan pe hum hain wahan kuchh ajib aalam hai

jo pahle aaj se tha aaj bhi wahi gham hai

ye daur-e-jam nahin hai fareb-e-paiham hai

bura na mano to ek baat tum se arz karun

tumhaara lutf ba-andaza-e-sitam kam hai

ye subh-o-sham ki masti ye nashsha-e-shab-o-roz

tere baghair koi kaif ho mujhe sam hai

sar-e-niyaz kabhi us ke samne na jhuka

isi qusur pe hum se zamana barham hai

hai baat baat pe hajw-e-subu-o-saghar-o-mai

janab-e-hazrat-e-wais se nak mein dam hai

nigah-e-naz ko taklif-e-iltifat na do

ki ab to zaKHm-e-jigar be-niyaz-e-marham hai

KHata zarur koi us se bhi hui hogi

ki aaKHir 'asi'-e-KHasta bhi ibn-e-adam hai
