waqif the kahan hum dil-e-na-chaar se pahle
vāqif the kahāñ ham dil-e-nā-chār se pahle
kam-baḳht mohabbat ke is āzār se pahle
nazreñ to uThāte zarā dīvār se pahle
ik aan to mil baiThte takrār se pahle
dīvāna koī lā.eñge mujh jaisā kahāñ se
sochā nahīñ ye aap ne inkār se pahle
pā-basta jigar-e-soḳhta dil-gīr zabāñ band
sau zulm sahe dīda-e-ḳhūñ-bār se pahle
ye koī nayā tarz-e-taġhāful to nahīñ hai
aisī to na thī dostī āġhyār se pahle
āsūda-e-ġham-hā-e-ḳhizāñ ho ga.e āḳhir
phūloñ ne kahāñ pūchhā hameñ ḳhaar se pahle
dil-sozī o āshufta-sarī tohmat o dushnām
kyā kyā nahīñ dekhā rasan-o-dār se pahle
'sarvar' ne sunā.ī hī nahīñ ahl-e-ḳhirad ko
apnī ye ġhazal jur.at-e-iz.hār se pahle
waqif the kahan hum dil-e-na-chaar se pahle
kam-baKHt mohabbat ke is aazar se pahle
nazren to uThate zara diwar se pahle
ek aan to mil baiThte takrar se pahle
diwana koi laenge mujh jaisa kahan se
socha nahin ye aap ne inkar se pahle
pa-basta jigar-e-soKHta dil-gir zaban band
sau zulm sahe dida-e-KHun-bar se pahle
ye koi naya tarz-e-taghaful to nahin hai
aisi to na thi dosti aaghyar se pahle
aasuda-e-gham-ha-e-KHizan ho gae aaKHir
phulon ne kahan puchha hamein KHar se pahle
dil-sozi o aashufta-sari tohmat o dushnam
kya kya nahin dekha rasan-o-dar se pahle
'sarwar' ne sunai hi nahin ahl-e-KHirad ko
apni ye ghazal jurat-e-izhaar se pahle
