sham-e-gham yaad nahin subh-e-tarab yaad nahin
shām-e-ġham yaad nahīñ sub.h-e-tarab yaad nahīñ
zindagī guzrī hai kis tarah ye ab yaad nahīñ
yaad hai utnā ki maiñ Duub gayā pastī meñ
kitnī ūñchī huī dīvār-e-adab yaad nahīñ
maiñ ne taḳhlīq kiye sher-o-suḳhan ke motī
merī taḳhlīq kā thā kaun sabab yaad nahīñ
jin ke jalvoñ se thā ābād jahān-e-dil-o-jāñ
merī nazroñ se nihāñ ho ga.e kab yaad nahīñ
aañkh meñ ashk haiñ ashkoñ meñ ġhamoñ kī talḳhī
kaise hote haiñ vo naġhmāt-e-tarab yaad nahīñ
itnā hī yaad hai muddat se ḳhafā haiñ vo 'zuhair'
un kī ḳhafagī kā magar koī sabab yaad nahīñ
sham-e-gham yaad nahin subh-e-tarab yaad nahin
zindagi guzri hai kis tarah ye ab yaad nahin
yaad hai utna ki main Dub gaya pasti mein
kitni unchi hui diwar-e-adab yaad nahin
main ne taKHliq kiye sher-o-suKHan ke moti
meri taKHliq ka tha kaun sabab yaad nahin
jin ke jalwon se tha aabaad jahan-e-dil-o-jaan
meri nazron se nihan ho gae kab yaad nahin
aankh mein ashk hain ashkon mein ghamon ki talKHi
kaise hote hain wo naghmat-e-tarab yaad nahin
itna hi yaad hai muddat se KHafa hain wo 'zuhair'
un ki KHafagi ka magar koi sabab yaad nahin
