wusat-e-kaun-o-makan mein wo samate bhi nahin
vus.at-e-kaun-o-makāñ meñ vo samāte bhī nahīñ
jalva-afroz bhī haiñ sāmne aate bhī nahīñ
pārsā.ī kā hamārī nahīñ duniyā meñ javāb
vaqt aa jaa.e to dāman ko bachāte bhī nahīñ
ham vo mai-kash haiñ kī saaqī kī nazar phirte hī
jaam kī samt nigāhoñ ko uThāte bhī nahīñ
ḳhud hī rañg-e-ruḳh-e-mahbūb uḌā jaatā hai
ham to rūdād-e-ġham-e-ishq sunāte bhī nahīñ
bū-e-gul jin kā kiyā kartī thī rah rah ke tavāf
ab chaman meñ vo nasheman nazar aate bhī nahīñ
ham vo barbād-e-mohabbat haiñ ḳhudā shāhid hai
aag dil meñ jo lagī ho to bujhāte bhī nahīñ
vaqt nāzuk hai ye kyā soch rahe ho 'shā.ir'
aisī zulmat meñ koī sham.a jalāte bhī nahīñ
wusat-e-kaun-o-makan mein wo samate bhi nahin
jalwa-afroz bhi hain samne aate bhi nahin
parsai ka hamari nahin duniya mein jawab
waqt aa jae to daman ko bachate bhi nahin
hum wo mai-kash hain ki saqi ki nazar phirte hi
jam ki samt nigahon ko uThate bhi nahin
KHud hi rang-e-ruKH-e-mahbub uDa jata hai
hum to rudad-e-gham-e-ishq sunate bhi nahin
bu-e-gul jin ka kiya karti thi rah rah ke tawaf
ab chaman mein wo nasheman nazar aate bhi nahin
hum wo barbaad-e-mohabbat hain KHuda shahid hai
aag dil mein jo lagi ho to bujhate bhi nahin
waqt nazuk hai ye kya soch rahe ho 'shair'
aisi zulmat mein koi shama jalate bhi nahin
