visal-o-hijr ke qisse na yun sunao hamein
visāl-o-hijr ke qisse na yuuñ sunāo hameñ
ab is azāb-e-shab-o-roz se bachāo hameñ
kisī bhī ghar meñ sahī raushnī to hai ham se
numūd-e-sub.h se pahle to mat bujhāo hameñ
nahīñ hai ḳhūn-e-shahīdāñ kī koī qadr yahāñ
lagā ke daav pe ham ko na yuuñ gañvāo hameñ
tamām umr kā saudā hai ek pal kā nahīñ
bahut hī soch samajh kar gale lagāo hameñ
guzar chuke haiñ maqām-e-junūñ se dīvāne
ye jaan lenā agar kal yahāñ na paao hameñ
hamāre ḳhuuñ se nikhar jaa.e ġham to kyā kahnā
baḌhāo dast-e-sitam daar par chaḌhāo hameñ
karishma-sāzī-e-fikr-o-nazar se kyā hāsil
bane ho ḳhizr to phir rāsta dikhāo hameñ
ye lamha bhar kā tasavvur to jān-levā hai
jo yaad aao to tā-umr yaad aao hameñ
kitāb-e-ishq haiñ lekin na itnī farsūda
ki be-paḌhe hī faqat mez par sajāo hameñ
ujaḌ na jaa.e urūs-e-suḳhan kī maañg kahīñ
ḳhayāl-o-fan kī na.ī jañg se bachāo hameñ
visal-o-hijr ke qisse na yun sunao hamein
ab is azab-e-shab-o-roz se bachao hamein
kisi bhi ghar mein sahi raushni to hai hum se
numud-e-subh se pahle to mat bujhao hamein
nahin hai KHun-e-shahidan ki koi qadr yahan
laga ke daw pe hum ko na yun ganwao hamein
tamam umr ka sauda hai ek pal ka nahin
bahut hi soch samajh kar gale lagao hamein
guzar chuke hain maqam-e-junun se diwane
ye jaan lena agar kal yahan na pao hamein
hamare KHun se nikhar jae gham to kya kahna
baDhao dast-e-sitam dar par chaDhao hamein
karishma-sazi-e-fikr-o-nazar se kya hasil
bane ho KHizr to phir rasta dikhao hamein
ye lamha bhar ka tasawwur to jaan-lewa hai
jo yaad aao to ta-umr yaad aao hamein
kitab-e-ishq hain lekin na itni farsuda
ki be-paDhe hi faqat mez par sajao hamein
ujaD na jae urus-e-suKHan ki mang kahin
KHayal-o-fan ki nai jang se bachao hamein
