qad-e-sanam sa agar aafrida hona tha
qad-e-sanam sā agar āfrīda honā thā
na sarv-e-bāġh ko itnā kashīda honā thā
huā hai zulf se gustāḳh kis qadar shāna
hamāre paas bhī dast-e-burīda honā thā
na khīñchnā thā zuleḳhā ko dāman-e-yūsuf
usī kā parda-e-ismat darīda honā thā
diyā na saath jo sabr-o-qarār ne na diyā
ravāna mulk-e-adam ko jarīda honā thā
miTā.e se koī miTtā hai bātiloñ ke haq
kuchh iḳhtiyār se kyā barguzīda honā thā
na jāntā thā ġhazab hai nigah kā tiir ai dil
tujhī ko sāmne āfat-rasīda honā thā
rulātā shām-o-sahar kis tarah na tāle-e-past
buland sar se mire āb-dīda honā thā
gurez-e-yār ne barbād kar diyā ham ko
ġhubār-e-rāh ġhazāl-e-ramīda honā thā
na aa.ī dāman-e-dāya meñ niiñd ai 'ātish'
darūn-e-dāman-e-ḳhāk āramīda honā thā
qad-e-sanam sa agar aafrida hona tha
na sarw-e-bagh ko itna kashida hona tha
hua hai zulf se gustaKH kis qadar shana
hamare pas bhi dast-e-burida hona tha
na khinchna tha zuleKHa ko daman-e-yusuf
usi ka parda-e-ismat darida hona tha
diya na sath jo sabr-o-qarar ne na diya
rawana mulk-e-adam ko jarida hona tha
miTae se koi miTta hai baatilon ke haq
kuchh iKHtiyar se kya barguzida hona tha
na jaanta tha ghazab hai nigah ka tir ai dil
tujhi ko samne aafat-rasida hona tha
rulata sham-o-sahar kis tarah na tale-e-past
buland sar se mere aab-dida hona tha
gurez-e-yar ne barbaad kar diya hum ko
ghubar-e-rah ghazal-e-ramida hona tha
na aai daman-e-daya mein nind ai 'atish'
darun-e-daman-e-KHak aaramida hona tha
