shaiKH ka KHauf hamein hashr ka dhaDka hum ko
shaiḳh kā ḳhauf hameñ hashr kā dhaḌkā ham ko
saath hī ishq ke āzār ne maarā ham ko
maut kahte haiñ jise zabt kā ye ḳhabt na ho
zindagī par bhī hai fariyād kā dhokā ham ko
jaao haañ jaao raqīboñ kī murādeñ bar laao
rahne do rahne do nākām-e-tamannā ham ko
ham to insān haiñ ai ḳhizr hameñ marnā hai
jiine detā nahīñ fitrat kā taqāzā ham ko
hai abhī duur bahut duur hamārī manzil
hukm hai farsh se tā-arsh-e-muallā ham ko
vo nigah bāñdh ga.ī dil meñ tilism-e-ummīd
nazar aatī hai tamannā hī tamannā ham ko
shahr-e-ulfat meñ nahīñ tafraqa-pardāz 'hafīz'
kahīñ ka.aba nazar aayā na kalīsā ham ko
shaiKH ka KHauf hamein hashr ka dhaDka hum ko
sath hi ishq ke aazar ne mara hum ko
maut kahte hain jise zabt ka ye KHabt na ho
zindagi par bhi hai fariyaad ka dhoka hum ko
jao han jao raqibon ki muraden bar lao
rahne do rahne do nakaam-e-tamanna hum ko
hum to insan hain ai KHizr hamein marna hai
jine deta nahin fitrat ka taqaza hum ko
hai abhi dur bahut dur hamari manzil
hukm hai farsh se ta-arsh-e-mualla hum ko
wo nigah bandh gai dil mein tilism-e-ummid
nazar aati hai tamanna hi tamanna hum ko
shahr-e-ulfat mein nahin tafraqa-pardaz 'hafiz'
kahin kaba nazar aaya na kalisa hum ko
