zamane ke darbar mein dast-basta hua hai
zamāne ke darbār meñ dast-basta huā hai
ye dil us pe maa.il magar rafta rafta huā hai
achānak hī hathiyār vaale nahīñ saḳht-jāñ ne
jigar vaqt ke saath ḳhasta shikasta huā hai
kahīñ andar andar sulagtī thī chingārī koī
magar hādsa āḳhir-e-kār shām-e-guzishta huā hai
ka.ī baar jallād ne khīñch dekhā hai us ko
magar munjamid daar kā sard taḳhta huā hai
ḳhabar-dār rahne lagā shahryār us se 'yāsir'
qalam mere hāthoñ meñ ḳhanjar kā dasta huā hai
zamane ke darbar mein dast-basta hua hai
ye dil us pe mail magar rafta rafta hua hai
achanak hi hathiyar wale nahin saKHt-jaan ne
jigar waqt ke sath KHasta shikasta hua hai
kahin andar andar sulagti thi chingari koi
magar hadsa aaKHir-e-kar sham-e-guzishta hua hai
kai bar jallad ne khinch dekha hai us ko
magar munjamid dar ka sard taKHta hua hai
KHabar-dar rahne laga shahryar us se 'yasir'
qalam mere hathon mein KHanjar ka dasta hua hai
