pareshan haal daman dhajjiyan surat faqirana

pareshān haal dāman dhajjiyāñ sūrat faqīrāna

ye terā tālib-e-nāshād hai yā koī dīvāna

na ho kuchh aur to itnī hī nisbat tujh se ho jaa.e

jidhar jā.ūñ zamāna mujh ko samjhe terā dīvāna

koī to baat hai jo sham.a ke aañsū nahīñ thamte

abhī kyā kahte kahte ho gayā ḳhāmosh parvāna

hazāroñ hasrateñ ābād haiñ lākhoñ tamannā.eñ

isī dil meñ ba-zāhir jo nazar aatā hai vīrāna

pilā de mai-kada-bar-dosh āñkhoñ se mujhe saaqī

uThā le mere aage se ye shīsha aur paimāna

mirī rūdād-e-ġham kī allah allah ye hama-gīrī

samajhtā hai use har sunñe vaalā apnā afsāna

mohabbat kī na ho gar kār-farmā.ī to duniyā meñ

hujūm-e-bulbul-o-gul ho na bazm-e-sham-o-parvāna

janāb-e-nāseh-e-mushfiq haiñ kuchh kho.e hue 'tālib'

kisī kāfir ko shāyad dekh aa.e be-hijābāna

pareshan haal daman dhajjiyan surat faqirana

ye tera talib-e-nashad hai ya koi diwana

na ho kuchh aur to itni hi nisbat tujh se ho jae

jidhar jaun zamana mujh ko samjhe tera diwana

koi to baat hai jo shama ke aansu nahin thamte

abhi kya kahte kahte ho gaya KHamosh parwana

hazaron hasraten aabaad hain lakhon tamannaen

isi dil mein ba-zahir jo nazar aata hai virana

pila de mai-kada-bar-dosh aankhon se mujhe saqi

uTha le mere aage se ye shisha aur paimana

meri rudad-e-gham ki allah allah ye hama-giri

samajhta hai use har sunne wala apna afsana

mohabbat ki na ho gar kar-farmai to duniya mein

hujum-e-bulbul-o-gul ho na bazm-e-sham-o-parwana

janab-e-naseh-e-mushfiq hain kuchh khoe hue 'talib'

kisi kafir ko shayad dekh aae be-hijabana
