zikr humse be-talab ka kya talabgari ke din
zikr ham se be-talab kā kyā talabgārī ke din
tum hameñ sochoge ik din ḳhud se be-zārī ke din
munhamik masrūf ek ik kaam nimTāte hue
saaf se raushan se ye chalne kī tayyārī ke din
roz ik bujhtī huī sīlan bhare kamre kī shaam
khiḌkiyoñ meñ roz murjhāte ye bīmārī ke din
nam nashīlī sā.atoñ kī sard zahrīlī sī raat
ḳhvāb hote jā rahe hoñ jaise bedārī ke din
hāfize kī sust-rau lahroñ meñ halchal kyā huī
jaag uTThe dhaḌkanoñ kī tez-raftārī ke din
zehan ke sahrā meñ uThtā ik bagūla sā kabhī
gaahe gaahe kār-āmad se ye bekārī ke din
dam-ba-dam tahlīl sā hotā huā manzar kā bojh
sahl se hote hue palkoñ pe dushvārī ke din
umr ke bāzār kī had par navādir kī dukāñ
kuchh parakhte dekhte chunte ḳharīdārī ke din
rah ga.ī kāġhaz pe khiñch kar lafz se aarī lakīr
'sāz' shāyad bhar ga.e haiñ ab mire qaarī ke din
zikr hum se be-talab ka kya talabgari ke din
tum hamein sochoge ek din KHud se be-zari ke din
munhamik masruf ek ek kaam nimTate hue
saf se raushan se ye chalne ki tayyari ke din
roz ek bujhti hui silan bhare kamre ki sham
khiDkiyon mein roz murjhate ye bimari ke din
nam nashili saaton ki sard zahrili si raat
KHwab hote ja rahe hon jaise bedari ke din
hafize ki sust-rau lahron mein halchal kya hui
jag uTThe dhaDkanon ki tez-raftari ke din
zehan ke sahra mein uThta ek bagula sa kabhi
gahe gahe kar-amad se ye bekari ke din
dam-ba-dam tahlil sa hota hua manzar ka bojh
sahl se hote hue palkon pe dushwari ke din
umr ke bazar ki had par nawadir ki dukan
kuchh parakhte dekhte chunte KHaridari ke din
rah gai kaghaz pe khinch kar lafz se aari lakir
'saz' shayad bhar gae hain ab mere qari ke din
