tajjub ye nahin hai gham ke maron ko na chain aaya

ta.ajjub ye nahīñ hai ġham ke māroñ ko na chain aayā

taḌapnā dekh kar merā sitāroñ ko na chain aayā

baḌhī be-tābi-e-dil jab to bahne hī lage aañsū

mire ham-rāh in pinhāñ sitāroñ ko na chain aayā

rahe gardish meñ saarī raat merī be-qarārī par

baḌe hamdard nikle chāñd tāroñ ko na chain aayā

hamāre āshiyāñ tak baat rah jaatī to achchhā thā

jalā jab tak na sab gulshan sharāroñ ko na chain aayā

koī be-ḳhud huā be-tāb ho kar rah gayā koī

naqāb-e-husn uThne par hazāroñ ko na chain aayā

zamāne ke taġhayyur ne kiyā barbād gulshan ko

ḳhizāoñ ko na chain aayā bahāroñ ko na chain aayā

thapeḌe un ko bhī khāne paḌe amvāj tūfāñ ke

mirī kashtī ke baa.is hī kināroñ ko na chain aayā

ġham-e-daurāñ ġham-e-jānāñ ġham-e-uqbā ġham-e-duniyā

'kañval' is zindagī meñ ġham ke māroñ ko na chain aayā

tajjub ye nahin hai gham ke maron ko na chain aaya

taDapna dekh kar mera sitaron ko na chain aaya

baDhi be-tabi-e-dil jab to bahne hi lage aansu

mere ham-rah in pinhan sitaron ko na chain aaya

rahe gardish mein sari raat meri be-qarari par

baDe hamdard nikle chand taron ko na chain aaya

hamare aashiyan tak baat rah jati to achchha tha

jala jab tak na sab gulshan shararon ko na chain aaya

koi be-KHud hua be-tab ho kar rah gaya koi

naqab-e-husn uThne par hazaron ko na chain aaya

zamane ke taghayyur ne kiya barbaad gulshan ko

KHizaon ko na chain aaya bahaaron ko na chain aaya

thapeDe un ko bhi khane paDe amwaj tufan ke

meri kashti ke bais hi kinaron ko na chain aaya

gham-e-dauran gham-e-jaanan gham-e-uqba gham-e-duniya

'kanwal' is zindagi mein gham ke maron ko na chain aaya
