ye aur baat ki lahja udas rakhte hain
ye aur baat ki lahja udaas rakhte haiñ
ḳhizāñ ke giit bhī apnī miThās rakhte haiñ
kaheñ to kyā kaheñ ham un kī sāda-lauhī ko
jo qātiloñ se tarahhum kī aas rakhte haiñ
kisī ke sāmne phailā.īñ kis liye dāman
tumhāre dard kī daulat jo paas rakhte haiñ
unheñ hayāt kī tohmat na do abas yaaro
jo apnā jism na apnā libās rakhte haiñ
qarīb-e-gul-badnāñ rah chuke haiñ dīvāne
ye ḳhaar vo haiñ jo phūloñ kī baas rakhte haiñ
kahāñ bhigo.e koī apne ḳhushk hoñToñ ko
ye daur vo hai ki dariyā bhī pyaas rakhte haiñ
ḳhudā kā shukr adā kiije ḳhush-nasībī par
'hafīz' aap dil-e-ġham-shanās rakhte haiñ
ye aur baat ki lahja udas rakhte hain
KHizan ke git bhi apni miThas rakhte hain
kahen to kya kahen hum un ki sada-lauhi ko
jo qatilon se tarahhum ki aas rakhte hain
kisi ke samne phailain kis liye daman
tumhaare dard ki daulat jo pas rakhte hain
unhen hayat ki tohmat na do abas yaro
jo apna jism na apna libas rakhte hain
qarib-e-gul-badnan rah chuke hain diwane
ye KHar wo hain jo phulon ki bas rakhte hain
kahan bhigoe koi apne KHushk honTon ko
ye daur wo hai ki dariya bhi pyas rakhte hain
KHuda ka shukr ada kije KHush-nasibi par
'hafiz' aap dil-e-gham-shanas rakhte hain
