qissa-e-husn nahin ishq ki rudad nahin

qissa-e-husn nahīñ 'ishq kī rūdād nahīñ

haif ye bazm tire zikr se ābād nahīñ

morid-e-ranj-o-alam kushta-e-bedād nahīñ

vaa.e bar-aish jahāñ mujh ko ḳhudā yaad nahīñ

ham-safīrān-e-chaman vaah ye pursish ye karam

ab mujhe shikva-e-be-mehrī-e-sayyād nahīñ

maiñ huuñ nāshād-e-azal ḳhair magar hairat hai

ishrat-ābād-e-jahāñ meñ bhī koī shaad nahīñ

qissa-e-jaur-e-falak shikva-e-ayyām-e-zubūñ

ek afsāna hai jis kī koī buniyād nahīñ

sarfaroshān-e-mohabbat pe ḳhudā kī rahmat

mudda.ī sab haiñ magar ek bhī fariyād nahīñ

vaah ai manzar-e-ḳhush-vaqtī-e-manzil qurbāñ

dasht-e-ġhurbat kī masā.ib bhī mujhe yaad nahīñ

maiñ ḳhatāvār magar tere karam ke qurbāñ

ek majbūr to yuuñ mustahiq-e-dād nahīñ

'rāz' ye nāma-e-ahsan ye payām-e-izzat

vaa.e taqdīr ki maiñ aaj bhī āzād nahīñ

qissa-e-husn nahin 'ishq ki rudad nahin

haif ye bazm tere zikr se aabaad nahin

morid-e-ranj-o-alam kushta-e-bedad nahin

wae bar-aish jahan mujh ko KHuda yaad nahin

ham-safiran-e-chaman wah ye pursish ye karam

ab mujhe shikwa-e-be-mehri-e-sayyaad nahin

main hun nashad-e-azal KHair magar hairat hai

ishrat-abaad-e-jahan mein bhi koi shad nahin

qissa-e-jaur-e-falak shikwa-e-ayyam-e-zubun

ek afsana hai jis ki koi buniyaad nahin

sarfaroshan-e-mohabbat pe KHuda ki rahmat

muddai sab hain magar ek bhi fariyaad nahin

wah ai manzar-e-KHush-waqti-e-manzil qurban

dasht-e-ghurbat ki masaib bhi mujhe yaad nahin

main KHatawar magar tere karam ke qurban

ek majbur to yun mustahiq-e-dad nahin

'raaz' ye nama-e-ahsan ye payam-e-izzat

wae taqdir ki main aaj bhi aazad nahin
