shikast-o-fath-e-muqabil se be-niyaz to hai

shikast-o-fat.h-e-muqābil se be-niyāz to hai

ba-faiz-e-dār-o-rasan ishq sarfarāz to hai

usī se nikleñge naġhmāt-e-zindagī-parvar

shikasta hī vo sahī dil bhī ek saaz to hai

hazār qismat-o-mahaul zimmedār sahī

mirī tabāhī se un kā bhī sāz-bāz to hai

ġhurūr-e-husn salāmat magar ye kyā kam hai

hamārā dil bhī harīf-e-nigāh-e-nāz to hai

huā hai faash jahāñ par zabāñ pe aa.e baġhair

dil-o-nigāh ke mābain koī raaz to hai

atā-e-bāda ke inkār se ye bhed khulā

ki mai-kashoñ meñ tire paas imtiyāz to hai

mujhe talāsh-e-masarrat kī kyā zarūrat hai

ḳhushī ye kam nahīñ dil merā ġham-navāz to hai

nahīñ 'sa.īd' mire paas shaukat-e-alfāz

mirī ġhazal meñ magar qalb kā gudāz to hai

shikast-o-fath-e-muqabil se be-niyaz to hai

ba-faiz-e-dar-o-rasan ishq sarfaraaz to hai

usi se niklenge naghmat-e-zindagi-parwar

shikasta hi wo sahi dil bhi ek saz to hai

hazar qismat-o-mahaul zimmedar sahi

meri tabahi se un ka bhi saz-baz to hai

ghurur-e-husn salamat magar ye kya kam hai

hamara dil bhi harif-e-nigah-e-naz to hai

hua hai fash jahan par zaban pe aae baghair

dil-o-nigah ke mabain koi raaz to hai

ata-e-baada ke inkar se ye bhed khula

ki mai-kashon mein tere pas imtiyaz to hai

mujhe talash-e-masarrat ki kya zarurat hai

KHushi ye kam nahin dil mera gham-nawaz to hai

nahin 'said' mere pas shaukat-e-alfaz

meri ghazal mein magar qalb ka gudaz to hai
