sharminda-e-nigah-e-karam ho ke rah gaya

sharminda-e-nigāh-e-karam ho ke rah gayā

shikva zabāñ pe shukr-e-sitam ho ke rah gayā

he he vo shauq aap ke mushtāq-e-dīd kā

jo dil meñ Tiis aañkh meñ nam ho ke rah gayā

anjām apne soz kā ai be-ḳhabar na pūchh

ik tiir thā ki siine meñ dam ho ke rah gayā

hasrat pe kyoñ na roiye maqtūl-e-ishq kī

do-chār roz aap ko ġham ho ke rah gayā

tum ko to ek ye ki na aa.e magar yahāñ

shauq-e-visāl hijr kā ġham ho ke rah gayā

tum ne kiyā na qatl mujhe ek roz bhī

ye shauq dil meñ teġh-e-sitam ho ke rah gayā

'maikash' ye nā-tamāmī-e-tāsīr-e-ġham to dekh

ya.anī kisī ko shauq-e-sitam ho ke rah gayā

sharminda-e-nigah-e-karam ho ke rah gaya

shikwa zaban pe shukr-e-sitam ho ke rah gaya

he he wo shauq aap ke mushtaq-e-did ka

jo dil mein Tis aankh mein nam ho ke rah gaya

anjam apne soz ka ai be-KHabar na puchh

ek tir tha ki sine mein dam ho ke rah gaya

hasrat pe kyon na roiye maqtul-e-ishq ki

do-chaar roz aap ko gham ho ke rah gaya

tum ko to ek ye ki na aae magar yahan

shauq-e-visal hijr ka gham ho ke rah gaya

tum ne kiya na qatl mujhe ek roz bhi

ye shauq dil mein tegh-e-sitam ho ke rah gaya

'maikash' ye na-tamami-e-tasir-e-gham to dekh

yani kisi ko shauq-e-sitam ho ke rah gaya
