ranj aur ranj bhi tanhai ka
ranj aur ranj bhī tanhā.ī kā
vaqt pahuñchā mirī rusvā.ī kā
umr shāyad na kare aaj vafā
kāTnā hai shab-e-tanhā.ī kā
tum ne kyuuñ vasl meñ pahlū badlā
kis ko da.avā hai shakebā.ī kā
ek din raah pe jā pahuñche ham
shauq thā bādiya-paimā.ī kā
us se nādān hī ban kar miliye
kuchh ijāra nahīñ dānā.ī kā
saat pardoñ meñ nahīñ Thairtī aañkh
hausla kyā hai tamāshā.ī kā
darmiyāñ pā-e-nazar hai jab tak
ham ko da.avā nahīñ bīnā.ī kā
kuchh to hai qadr tamāshā.ī kī
hai jo ye shauq ḳhud-ārā.ī kā
us ko chhoḌā to hai lekin ai dil
mujh ko Dar hai tirī ḳhud-rā.ī kā
bazm-e-dushman meñ na jī se utrā
pūchhnā kyā tirī zebā.ī kā
yahī anjām thā ai fasl-e-ḳhizāñ

ranj aur ranj bhi tanhai ka
waqt pahuncha meri ruswai ka
umr shayad na kare aaj wafa
kaTna hai shab-e-tanhai ka
tum ne kyun wasl mein pahlu badla
kis ko dawa hai shakebai ka
ek din rah pe ja pahunche hum
shauq tha baadiya-paimai ka
us se nadan hi ban kar miliye
kuchh ijara nahin danai ka
sat pardon mein nahin Thairti aankh
hausla kya hai tamashai ka
darmiyan pa-e-nazar hai jab tak
hum ko dawa nahin binai ka
kuchh to hai qadr tamashai ki
hai jo ye shauq KHud-arai ka
us ko chhoDa to hai lekin ai dil
mujh ko Dar hai teri KHud-rai ka
bazm-e-dushman mein na ji se utra
puchhna kya teri zebai ka
yahi anjam tha ai fasl-e-KHizan
gul o bulbul ki shanasai ka
madad ai jazba-e-taufiq ki yan
ho chuka kaam tawanai ka
mohtasib uzr bahut hain lekin
izn hum ko nahin goyai ka
honge 'haali' se bahut aawara
ghar abhi dur hai ruswai ka
