tere nisar na dekhi koi KHushi maine
tire nisār na dekhī koī ḳhushī maiñ ne
ki ab to maut ko samjhā hai zindagī maiñ ne
ye dil meñ soch ke tauba bhī toḌ dī maiñ ne
na jaane kyā kahe saaqī agar na pī maiñ ne
koī balā mire sar par zarūr aa.egī
ki terī zulf-e-pareshāñ sañvār dī maiñ ne
sahar huī shab-e-va.ada kā iztirāb gayā
sitāre chhup ga.e gul kar dī raushnī maiñ ne
sivā.e dil mujhe dair-o-haram se kyā matlab
jagah huzūr ke milne kī DhūñD lī maiñ ne
jahāñ chalā diyā sāġhar kā daur ai vaa.iz
vahīñ pe gardish-e-ayyām rok dī maiñ ne
balā.eñ lene pe aap itne ho ga.e barham
huzūr kaun sī jāgīr chhīn lī maiñ ne
duā.eñ do mujhe dar dar junūñ meñ phir phir kar
tumhārī shohrateñ kar diiñ galī maiñ ne
javāb us kā to shāyad falak bhī de na sake
vo bandagī jo tirī rahguzar meñ kī maiñ ne
vo jaane kaise pata de ga.e the gulshan kā
na chhoḌā phuul na chhoḌī kalī kalī maiñ ne
'qamar' vo niiñd meñ the un ko kyā ḳhabar hogī
ki un pe shab ko luTā.ī hai chāñdnī maiñ ne
tere nisar na dekhi koi KHushi main ne
ki ab to maut ko samjha hai zindagi main ne
ye dil mein soch ke tauba bhi toD di main ne
na jaane kya kahe saqi agar na pi main ne
koi bala mere sar par zarur aaegi
ki teri zulf-e-pareshan sanwar di main ne
sahar hui shab-e-wada ka iztirab gaya
sitare chhup gae gul kar di raushni main ne
siwae dil mujhe dair-o-haram se kya matlab
jagah huzur ke milne ki DhunD li main ne
jahan chala diya saghar ka daur ai waiz
wahin pe gardish-e-ayyam rok di main ne
balaen lene pe aap itne ho gae barham
huzur kaun si jagir chhin li main ne
duaen do mujhe dar dar junun mein phir phir kar
tumhaari shohraten kar din gali main ne
jawab us ka to shayad falak bhi de na sake
wo bandagi jo teri rahguzar mein ki main ne
wo jaane kaise pata de gae the gulshan ka
na chhoDa phul na chhoDi kali kali main ne
'qamar' wo nind mein the un ko kya KHabar hogi
ki un pe shab ko luTai hai chandni main ne
