sab hain masruf kisi ko yahan fursat nahin hai
sab haiñ masrūf kisī ko yahāñ fursat nahīñ hai
sab zarūrat hai magar kār-e-zarūrat nahīñ hai
tujh se dushnām-tarāzoñ kī himāyat ke liye
ab mire paas koī harf-e-suhūlat nahīñ hai
roz ik hashr bapā karte the jis kī ḳhātir
ham ye sunte haiñ ki vo fitna-e-qāmat nahīñ hai
aks-e-ram-sāzī-e-vahshat se use hai nisbat
ab to ā.īnoñ ko pahlī sī vo hairat nahīñ hai
kis liye tark-e-ta.alluq pe nadāmat hai tujhe
ai mirī jaan mujhe koī shikāyat nahīñ hai
raqs-e-āshob 'ajab dekhā hai galiyoñ meñ tirī
ai mire shahr yahāñ koī salāmat nahīñ hai
hukm hai ḳhāna-e-vahshat ke makīnoñ se kaho
ab yahāñ saañs bhī lene kī ijāzat nahīñ hai
ḳhūñ-bahā māñgne vāloñ ko nadāmat hai bahut
mere qātil ko magar koī nadāmat nahīñ hai
ramz-o-asrār se ḳhālī nahīñ hote mire sher
ye alag baat ki 'shāhid' ko vo shohrat nahīñ hai
sab hain masruf kisi ko yahan fursat nahin hai
sab zarurat hai magar kar-e-zarurat nahin hai
tujh se dushnam-taraazon ki himayat ke liye
ab mere pas koi harf-e-suhulat nahin hai
roz ek hashr bapa karte the jis ki KHatir
hum ye sunte hain ki wo fitna-e-qamat nahin hai
aks-e-ram-sazi-e-wahshat se use hai nisbat
ab to aainon ko pahli si wo hairat nahin hai
kis liye tark-e-talluq pe nadamat hai tujhe
ai meri jaan mujhe koi shikayat nahin hai
raqs-e-ashob 'ajab dekha hai galiyon mein teri
ai mere shahr yahan koi salamat nahin hai
hukm hai KHana-e-wahshat ke makinon se kaho
ab yahan sans bhi lene ki ijazat nahin hai
KHun-baha mangne walon ko nadamat hai bahut
mere qatil ko magar koi nadamat nahin hai
ramz-o-asrar se KHali nahin hote mere sher
ye alag baat ki 'shahid' ko wo shohrat nahin hai
