tasawwur bandhte hain us ka jab wahshat ke mare hum

tasavvur bāñdhte haiñ us kā jab vahshat ke maare ham

to phir karte haiñ aap hī aap kyā kyā kuchh ishāre ham

kahe hai yuuñ dil-e-muztar se us bin jān-e-ġham-dīda

chalo tum rafta rafta aate haiñ pīchhe tumhāre ham

ka.ī baar us ne dekhā aaj chashm-e-qahr se ham ko

sazā-vār-e-uqūbat to hue ai baḳht baare ham

na maanī dil ne apnī aur na ham ne baat nāseh kī

hameñ kah kah ke haarā vo use kah ke haare ham

vo jab ā.īna dekhe hai to kyā kyā muskurātā hai

samajh kar ye ki ya.anī haiñ qayāmat pyāre pyāre ham

milā lutf-e-suḳhan kyā ḳhaak ham ko us kī mahfil meñ

ki chup baiThe rahe juuñ naqsh-e-dīvār ik kināre ham

hue haiñ chāhne vaale tumhāre saikḌoñ paidā

ye sach hai jī ki kis gintī meñ haiñ yaañ ab bichāre ham

kisī mahvash ke ġham ne kar diyā nā-tāqat aisā hī

ki chhuTte dekhte haiñ aksar āñkhoñ aage taare ham

uThā kar aañkh to tum dekh lo yaañ koī dekhe hai

zarā qurbān hone do hameñ sadqe tumhāre ham

kareñ kyā aah aur kis se kaheñ ham apnī bechainī

kahīñ chain ab tire hāthoñ nahīñ paate haiñ pyāre ham

qarār ik jā nazar aatā nahīñ hai be-qarārī meñ

gul-e-bāzī kī sūrat phirte haiñ bas maare maare ham

hameñ kyā ḳhatra-e-jāñ hai ki ham haiñ naam ko 'jur.at'

na hoñ phir kyuuñ ki maidān-e-mohabbat meñ utāre ham

tasawwur bandhte hain us ka jab wahshat ke mare hum

to phir karte hain aap hi aap kya kya kuchh ishaare hum

kahe hai yun dil-e-muztar se us bin jaan-e-gham-dida

chalo tum rafta rafta aate hain pichhe tumhaare hum

kai bar us ne dekha aaj chashm-e-qahr se hum ko

saza-war-e-uqubat to hue ai baKHt bare hum

na mani dil ne apni aur na hum ne baat naseh ki

hamein kah kah ke haara wo use kah ke haare hum

wo jab aaina dekhe hai to kya kya muskuraata hai

samajh kar ye ki yani hain qayamat pyare pyare hum

mila lutf-e-suKHan kya KHak hum ko us ki mahfil mein

ki chup baiThe rahe jun naqsh-e-diwar ek kinare hum

hue hain chahne wale tumhaare saikDon paida

ye sach hai ji ki kis ginti mein hain yan ab bichaare hum

kisi mahwash ke gham ne kar diya na-taqat aisa hi

ki chhuTte dekhte hain aksar aankhon aage tare hum

uTha kar aankh to tum dekh lo yan koi dekhe hai

zara qurban hone do hamein sadqe tumhaare hum

karen kya aah aur kis se kahen hum apni bechaini

kahin chain ab tere hathon nahin pate hain pyare hum

qarar ek ja nazar aata nahin hai be-qarari mein

gul-e-bazi ki surat phirte hain bas mare mare hum

hamein kya KHatra-e-jaan hai ki hum hain nam ko 'jurat'

na hon phir kyun ki maidan-e-mohabbat mein utare hum
