subh har ujale pe raat ka guman kyun hai
sub.h har ujāle pe raat kā gumāñ kyuuñ hai
jal rahī hai kyā dhartī arsh pe dhuāñ kyuuñ hai
ḳhanjaroñ kī sāzish par kab talak ye ḳhāmoshī
ruuh kyuuñ hai yaḳh-basta naġhma be-zabāñ kyuuñ hai
rāsta nahīñ chalte sirf ḳhaak uḌāte haiñ
kārvāñ se bhī aage gard-e-kārvāñ kyuuñ hai
kuchh kamī nahīñ lekin koī kuchh to batlāo
ishq is sitamgar kā shauq kā ziyāñ kyuuñ hai
ham to ghar se nikle the jītne ko dil sab kā
teġh haath meñ kyuuñ hai dosh par kamāñ kyuuñ hai
ye hai bazm-e-mai-noshī is meñ sab barābar haiñ
phir hisāb-e-sāqī meñ suud kyuuñ ziyāñ kyuuñ hai
den kis nigah kī hai kin laboñ kī barakat hai
tum meñ 'ja.afarī' itnī shoḳhī-e-bayāñ kyuuñ hai
subh har ujale pe raat ka guman kyun hai
jal rahi hai kya dharti arsh pe dhuan kyun hai
KHanjaron ki sazish par kab talak ye KHamoshi
ruh kyun hai yaKH-basta naghma be-zaban kyun hai
rasta nahin chalte sirf KHak uDate hain
karwan se bhi aage gard-e-karwan kyun hai
kuchh kami nahin lekin koi kuchh to batlao
ishq is sitamgar ka shauq ka ziyan kyun hai
hum to ghar se nikle the jitne ko dil sab ka
tegh hath mein kyun hai dosh par kaman kyun hai
ye hai bazm-e-mai-noshi is mein sab barabar hain
phir hisab-e-saqi mein sud kyun ziyan kyun hai
den kis nigah ki hai kin labon ki barakat hai
tum mein 'jafari' itni shoKHi-e-bayan kyun hai
