qasid nahin ye waqt sawal-o-jawab ka
qāsid nahīñ ye vaqt savāl-o-javāb kā
ab haal ġhair hai dil-e-ḳhāna-ḳharāb kā
tum dekhne kī chiiz ho dekhā kare koī
ye husn ye jamāl ye 'ālam shabāb kā
tamhīd-e-be-ḳhudī thā kahāñ thā havās-o-hosh
ḳhalvat meñ aa ke un kā ulaTnā naqāb kā
kyā ātish-e-firāq ne dil par asar kiyā
in āñsuoñ meñ mere mazā hai kabāb kā
ham ne to apnī aañkh se dekhā nahīñ unheñ
qissa sunā hai hazrat-e-'shankar' ke ḳhvāb kā
qasid nahin ye waqt sawal-o-jawab ka
ab haal ghair hai dil-e-KHana-KHarab ka
tum dekhne ki chiz ho dekha kare koi
ye husn ye jamal ye 'alam shabab ka
tamhid-e-be-KHudi tha kahan tha hawas-o-hosh
KHalwat mein aa ke un ka ulaTna naqab ka
kya aatish-e-firaq ne dil par asar kiya
in aansuon mein mere maza hai kabab ka
hum ne to apni aankh se dekha nahin unhen
qissa suna hai hazrat-e-'shankar' ke KHwab ka
