shikayat-e-gham-e-lail-o-nahaar kaise karun

shikāyat-e-ġham-e-lail-o-nahār kaise karūñ

maiñ ḳhud ko apnī nigāhoñ meñ ḳhaar kaise karūñ

ye zindagī baḌī ne.amat hai māntā huuñ magar

ye be-vafā nahīñ ye e.atibār kaise karūñ

tujhe hai naaz jafā par mujhe vafā kī talab

maiñ apnī zaat meñ terā shumār kaise karūñ

kahīñ bahār ke āsār to nazar aa.eñ

garebāñ apnā abhī taar taar kaise karūñ

qadam qadam pe yahāñ nafratoñ ke Dere haiñ

fazā-e-sahn-e-chaman ḳhush-gavār kaise karūñ

abhī to dil ko na.e ranj-o-ġham kī ḳhvāhish hai

ai zindagī maiñ tujhe lāla-zār kaise karūñ

vo be-vafā.ī kā ehsās kar ke 'nādim' hai

masarratoñ se use ham-kanār kaise karūñ

shikayat-e-gham-e-lail-o-nahaar kaise karun

main KHud ko apni nigahon mein KHar kaise karun

ye zindagi baDi neamat hai manta hun magar

ye be-wafa nahin ye eatibar kaise karun

tujhe hai naz jafa par mujhe wafa ki talab

main apni zat mein tera shumar kaise karun

kahin bahaar ke aasar to nazar aaen

gareban apna abhi tar tar kaise karun

qadam qadam pe yahan nafraton ke Dere hain

faza-e-sahn-e-chaman KHush-gawar kaise karun

abhi to dil ko nae ranj-o-gham ki KHwahish hai

ai zindagi main tujhe lala-zar kaise karun

wo be-wafai ka ehsas kar ke 'nadim' hai

masarraton se use ham-kanar kaise karun
