siyahkar siyah-ru KHata-shiar aaya

siyāhkār siyah-rū ḳhatā-shi.ār aayā

tirī janāb meñ terā gunāhgār aayā

ḳhizāñ kā daur gayā mausam-e-bahār aayā

magar na is dil-e-be-sabr ko qarār aayā

kahīñ javāb na tū ne diyā yahāñ ke sivā

jahāñ meñ yuuñ to bahut maiñ tujhe pukār aayā

sarā-e-dahr meñ chhoḌā tan-e-kasīf apnā

ye bojh sar se musāfir tirā utaar aayā

hamāre nāla-e-dil kā na pūchhiye ahvāl

galī se yaar kī himmat bhī ab ke haar aayā

paḌī jo qais ke uupar nazar bayābāñ meñ

mujhe ġharīb ke uupar ġhazab kā pyaar aayā

na apne paañv se aanā milā galī meñ tirī

yahāñ bhī chaar ke kāñdhoñ pe maiñ savār aayā

ye iztirāb hai kyuuñ hai kidhar kā qasd ai ruuh

kahāñ se aa.ī talab kis jagah se taar aayā

burā ḳhizāñ kā ho dekhe jo sūkhe sūkhe hoñT

ġharīb phuul pe mujh ko ġhazab kā pyaar aayā

mirī na pūchh ki terī galī meñ ḳhaak huuñ maiñ

tujhī ko merī vafā kā na e'tibār aayā

lahad ne khol ke āġhosh dī jagah jo mujhe

lipaT ke rah ga.e ham ko bhī ḳhuub pyaar aayā

yaqīn jaan le saaqī ki ḳhum kī ḳhair nahīñ

ḳhudā na karda jo ab ke mujhe ḳhumār aayā

mire nasīb kahāñ is tarah ke dīda-e-tar

sunūñ ye ḳhush-ḳhabarī kaan se ki yaar aayā

nigah ne un kī jahāñ said-e-nau ko taak liyā

adā ne un kī kahā le nayā shikār aayā

tire firāq ke ḳhūgar na mar miTe jab tak

qazā ke aane kā tab tak na e'tibār aayā

dilā palaT gayā qismat kā pahle hī paasā

ab apnī jiit kahāñ dil jab apnā haar aayā

jab iḳhtiyār chaman par nahīñ to ham ko kyā

hazār baar agar mausam-e-bahār aayā

shikāyat-e-dil-e-muztar kahāñ talak ai maut

duā.eñ dūñgā tujhe gar ise qarār aayā

javāb-e-ḳhat kā na qāsid se mājrā pūchho

hai saaf chehre se zāhir ki sharmsār aayā

nazar meñ phir ga.ī chaal aap kī javānī kī

jo laḌkhaḌātā huā koī bāda-ḳhvār aayā

jo māñgte to hameñ bāġhbāñ se kyā miltā

ġharīb phuul to dāman ko bhī pasār aayā

na apne nāla-e-dil ko milā javāb kahīñ

nikal ke dil se tujhe arsh tak pukār aayā

adam meñ 'shād' ko kyā valvala ho jannat kā

siyahkar siyah-ru KHata-shiar aaya

teri janab mein tera gunahgar aaya

KHizan ka daur gaya mausam-e-bahaar aaya

magar na is dil-e-be-sabr ko qarar aaya

kahin jawab na tu ne diya yahan ke siwa

jahan mein yun to bahut main tujhe pukar aaya

sara-e-dahr mein chhoDa tan-e-kasif apna

ye bojh sar se musafir tera utar aaya

hamare nala-e-dil ka na puchhiye ahwal

gali se yar ki himmat bhi ab ke haar aaya

paDi jo qais ke upar nazar bayaban mein

mujhe gharib ke upar ghazab ka pyar aaya

na apne panw se aana mila gali mein teri

yahan bhi chaar ke kandhon pe main sawar aaya

ye iztirab hai kyun hai kidhar ka qasd ai ruh

kahan se aai talab kis jagah se tar aaya

bura KHizan ka ho dekhe jo sukhe sukhe honT

gharib phul pe mujh ko ghazab ka pyar aaya

meri na puchh ki teri gali mein KHak hun main

tujhi ko meri wafa ka na e'tibar aaya

lahad ne khol ke aaghosh di jagah jo mujhe

lipaT ke rah gae hum ko bhi KHub pyar aaya

yaqin jaan le saqi ki KHum ki KHair nahin

KHuda na karda jo ab ke mujhe KHumar aaya

mere nasib kahan is tarah ke dida-e-tar

sunun ye KHush-KHabari kan se ki yar aaya

nigah ne un ki jahan said-e-nau ko tak liya

ada ne un ki kaha le naya shikar aaya

tere firaq ke KHugar na mar miTe jab tak

qaza ke aane ka tab tak na e'tibar aaya

dila palaT gaya qismat ka pahle hi pasa

ab apni jit kahan dil jab apna haar aaya

jab iKHtiyar chaman par nahin to hum ko kya

hazar bar agar mausam-e-bahaar aaya

shikayat-e-dil-e-muztar kahan talak ai maut

duaen dunga tujhe gar ise qarar aaya

jawab-e-KHat ka na qasid se majra puchho

hai saf chehre se zahir ki sharmsar aaya

nazar mein phir gai chaal aap ki jawani ki

jo laDkhaData hua koi baada-KHwar aaya

jo mangte to hamein baghban se kya milta

gharib phul to daman ko bhi pasar aaya

na apne nala-e-dil ko mila jawab kahin

nikal ke dil se tujhe arsh tak pukar aaya

adam mein 'shad' ko kya walwala ho jannat ka

ki ye gharib to hasti se dil ko mar aaya
