wo kam-nasib jo ahd-e-jafa mein rahte hain
vo kam-nasīb jo ahd-e-jafā meñ rahte haiñ
ajiib ma.ariz-e-karb-o-balā meñ rahte haiñ
numūd-e-zauq o bulūġh-e-hunar kā zikr hī kyā
yahāñ ye log to āh-o-bukā meñ rahte haiñ
vidā-e-ḳhuld ke ba.ad arsa-e-firāq meñ haiñ
ba-qaid-e-jism dayār-e-fanā meñ rahte haiñ
vo sub.h o shaam mirī ruuh meñ haiñ jalva-numā
dil-e-figār o alam-āshnā meñ rahte haiñ
hisār-e-zāt meñ mahbūs ho ke ahl-e-havas
fareb-e-hāsil-e-be-mudda.ā meñ rahte haiñ
bhulā chuke haiñ zamīn o zamāñ ke sab qisse
suḳhan-tarāz haiñ lekin ḳhalā meñ rahte haiñ
amīr-e-shahr kī sohbat ke faiz se 'aḳhtar'
janāb-e-shaiḳh ab ūñchī havā meñ rahte haiñ
wo kam-nasib jo ahd-e-jafa mein rahte hain
ajib mariz-e-karb-o-bala mein rahte hain
numud-e-zauq o bulugh-e-hunar ka zikr hi kya
yahan ye log to aah-o-buka mein rahte hain
wida-e-KHuld ke baad arsa-e-firaq mein hain
ba-qaid-e-jism dayar-e-fana mein rahte hain
wo subh o sham meri ruh mein hain jalwa-numa
dil-e-figar o alam-ashna mein rahte hain
hisar-e-zat mein mahbus ho ke ahl-e-hawas
fareb-e-hasil-e-be-muddaa mein rahte hain
bhula chuke hain zamin o zaman ke sab qisse
suKHan-taraaz hain lekin KHala mein rahte hain
amir-e-shahr ki sohbat ke faiz se 'aKHtar'
janab-e-shaiKH ab unchi hawa mein rahte hain
