sharminda nahin kaun teri ishwa-gari ka

sharminda nahīñ kaun tirī ishva-garī kā

be-vaj.h nahīñ muñh kā chhupānā hai parī kā

jo lab ko tire dekh ke behosh na hove

da.avā usī ko bhātā hai sāhab-jigarī kā

tum dil hī meñ palte rahe ho sīkhā kahāñ se

ai ashk ye sheva jo liyā parda-darī kā

jis tarah sune mujh se kahe yaar se jā kar

ye Dhab kisī ko aatā hai paiġhāmbarī kā

patthar se hoñ dil yak-nigah-e-garm meñ paanī

hai ishq se ījād hunar shīshagarī kā

chal ā.ina-ḳhāne meñ ki hai zor-e-tamāshā

jis tarf nazar kījiye aalam hai parī kā

afsos shab-e-hijr kī shaam aate hī mar ga.e

kyā kyā thā bharosa hameñ āh-e-saharī kā

kar qatl mujhe shauq se badnāmī se mat Dar

dastūr nahīñ kushte pe yaañ nauhagarī kā

hairān huuñ aa.ī na nazar meñ kamar us kī

da.avā thā mujhe apnī 'razā' dīda-varī kā

sharminda nahin kaun teri ishwa-gari ka

be-wajh nahin munh ka chhupana hai pari ka

jo lab ko tere dekh ke behosh na howe

dawa usi ko bhata hai sahab-jigari ka

tum dil hi mein palte rahe ho sikha kahan se

ai ashk ye shewa jo liya parda-dari ka

jis tarah sune mujh se kahe yar se ja kar

ye Dhab kisi ko aata hai paighambari ka

patthar se hon dil yak-nigah-e-garm mein pani

hai ishq se ijad hunar shishagari ka

chal aaina-KHane mein ki hai zor-e-tamasha

jis tarf nazar kijiye aalam hai pari ka

afsos shab-e-hijr ki sham aate hi mar gae

kya kya tha bharosa hamein aah-e-sahari ka

kar qatl mujhe shauq se badnami se mat Dar

dastur nahin kushte pe yan nauhagari ka

hairan hun aai na nazar mein kamar us ki

dawa tha mujhe apni 'raza' dida-wari ka
