ruuh bechain hai ik dil kī aziyyat kyā hai

dil hī sho.ala hai to ye soz-e-mohabbat kyā hai

vo mujhe bhuul ga.ī is kī shikāyat kyā hai

rañj to ye hai ki ro ro ke bhulāyā hogā

vo kahāñ aur kahāñ kāhish-e-ġham, sozish-e-jāñ

us kī rañgīn nazar aur nuqūsh-e-hirmāñ

us kā ehsās-e-latīf aur shikast-e-armāñ

ta.ana-zan ek zamāna nazar aayā hogā

jhuk ga.ī hogī javāñ-sāl umañgoñ kī jabīñ

miT ga.ī hogī lalak, Duub gayā hogā yaqīñ

chhā gayā hogā dhuāñ, ghuum ga.ī hogī zamīñ

apne pahle hī gharauñde ko jo Dhāyā hogā

dil ne aise bhī kuchh afsāne sunā.e hoñge

ashk āñkhoñ ne piye aur na bahā.e hoñge

band kamre meñ jo ḳhat mere jalā.e hoñge

ek ik harf jabīñ par ubhar aayā hogā

us ne ghabrā ke nazar laakh bachā.ī hogī

miT ke ik naqsh ne sau shakl dikhā.ī hogī

mez se jab mirī tasvīr haTā.ī hogī

har taraf mujh ko taḌaptā huā paayā hogā

be-mahal chheḌ pe jazbāt ubal aa.e hoñge

ġham pashemān-e-tabassum meñ Dhal aa.e hoñge

naam par mere jab aañsū nikal aa.e hoñge

sar na kāñdhe se sahelī ke uThāyā hogā

zulf zid kar ke kisī ne jo haTā.ī hogī

rūThe jalvoñ pe ḳhizāñ aur bhī chhā.ī hogī

barq ashvoñ ne ka.ī din na girā.ī hogī

rañg chehre pe ka.ī roz na aayā hogā

ruh bechain hai ek dil ki aziyyat kya hai

dil hi shoala hai to ye soz-e-mohabbat kya hai

wo mujhe bhul gai is ki shikayat kya hai

ranj to ye hai ki ro ro ke bhulaya hoga

wo kahan aur kahan kahish-e-gham, sozish-e-jaan

us ki rangin nazar aur nuqush-e-hirman

us ka ehsas-e-latif aur shikast-e-arman

tana-zan ek zamana nazar aaya hoga

jhuk gai hogi jawan-sal umangon ki jabin

miT gai hogi lalak, Dub gaya hoga yaqin

chha gaya hoga dhuan, ghum gai hogi zamin

apne pahle hi gharaunde ko jo Dhaya hoga

dil ne aise bhi kuchh afsane sunae honge

ashk aankhon ne piye aur na bahae honge

band kamre mein jo KHat mere jalae honge

ek ek harf jabin par ubhar aaya hoga

us ne ghabra ke nazar lakh bachai hogi

miT ke ek naqsh ne sau shakl dikhai hogi

mez se jab meri taswir haTai hogi

har taraf mujh ko taDapta hua paya hoga

be-mahal chheD pe jazbaat ubal aae honge

gham pasheman-e-tabassum mein Dhal aae honge

nam par mere jab aansu nikal aae honge

sar na kandhe se saheli ke uThaya hoga

zulf zid kar ke kisi ne jo haTai hogi

ruThe jalwon pe KHizan aur bhi chhai hogi

barq ashwon ne kai din na girai hogi

rang chehre pe kai roz na aaya hoga
