tha magar itna ziyaada to junun-KHez na tha
thā magar itnā ziyāda to junūñ-ḳhez na thā
pahle dekhā thā to lab hī thā ye labrez na thā
thiiñ magar itnī bhī badmast na thiiñ ye āñkheñ
thā magar aañkh meñ surma tirā yuuñ tez na thā
tere phūloñ se ye ḳhushbū to nahīñ aatī thī
mausam-e-lams se tū qarya-e-zarḳhez na thā
yaad to hai tirī kam-umr nigāhoñ kā fusūñ
lekin us chashm-e-javāñ sā sehr-añgez na thā
TuuTī paḌtī na thiiñ āñkheñ mirī tujh par aise
gul-ba-dāmāñ to tū pahle hī thā gul-e-rez na thā
jaisā mavvāj thā us husn kā dariyā 'kāshif'
dil kā tūfān koī vaisā balā-ḳhez na thā
tha magar itna ziyaada to junun-KHez na tha
pahle dekha tha to lab hi tha ye labrez na tha
thin magar itni bhi badmast na thin ye aankhen
tha magar aankh mein surma tera yun tez na tha
tere phulon se ye KHushbu to nahin aati thi
mausam-e-lams se tu qarya-e-zarKHez na tha
yaad to hai teri kam-umr nigahon ka fusun
lekin us chashm-e-jawan sa sehr-angez na tha
TuTi paDti na thin aankhen meri tujh par aise
gul-ba-daman to tu pahle hi tha gul-e-rez na tha
jaisa mawwaj tha us husn ka dariya 'kashif'
dil ka tufan koi waisa bala-KHez na tha
