nazar nazar mein ada-e-jamal rakhte the

nazar nazar meñ adā-e-jamāl rakhte the

ham ek shaḳhs kā kitnā ḳhayāl rakhte the

jabīñ pe aane na dete the ik shikan bhī kabhī

agarche dil meñ hazāroñ malāl rakhte the

ḳhushī usī kī hamesha nazar meñ rahtī thī

aur apnī quvvat-e-ġham bhī bahāl rakhte the

bas ishtiyāq-e-takallum meñ bār-hā ham log

javāb dil meñ zabāñ par savāl rakhte the

usī se karte the ham roz o shab kā andāza

zamīñ pe rah ke vo sūraj kī chaal rakhte the

junūñ kā jaam mohabbat kī mai ḳhirad kā ḳhumār

hamīñ the vo jo ye saare kamāl rakhte the

chhupā ke apnī sisaktī sulagtī sochoñ se

mohabbatoñ ke uruuj o zavāl rakhte the

kuchh un kā husn bhī thā māvarā misāloñ se

kuchh apnā ishq bhī ham be-misāl rakhte the

ḳhatā nahīñ jo khile phuul rāh-e-sarsar meñ

ye jurm hai ki vo fikr-e-ma.āl rakhte the

nazar nazar mein ada-e-jamal rakhte the

hum ek shaKHs ka kitna KHayal rakhte the

jabin pe aane na dete the ek shikan bhi kabhi

agarche dil mein hazaron malal rakhte the

KHushi usi ki hamesha nazar mein rahti thi

aur apni quwwat-e-gham bhi bahaal rakhte the

bas ishtiyaq-e-takallum mein bar-ha hum log

jawab dil mein zaban par sawal rakhte the

usi se karte the hum roz o shab ka andaza

zamin pe rah ke wo suraj ki chaal rakhte the

junun ka jam mohabbat ki mai KHirad ka KHumar

hamin the wo jo ye sare kamal rakhte the

chhupa ke apni sisakti sulagti sochon se

mohabbaton ke uruj o zawal rakhte the

kuchh un ka husn bhi tha mawara misalon se

kuchh apna ishq bhi hum be-misal rakhte the

KHata nahin jo khile phul rah-e-sarsar mein

ye jurm hai ki wo fikr-e-maal rakhte the
