chaaragaro

sanam-kadoñ meñ charāġhāñ hai mai-kadoñ kī taraf

nigāh-e-pīr-e-muġhāñ kī sabīl jaarī hai

har ik fusūñ hai, magar be-asar hai chāragaro

idhar bhī tishna-labī mustaqil nahīñ jaatī

yahāñ bhī nashsha-e-nā-mo'tabar hai chāragaro

maiñ aisā jāda-e-manzil guzishta huuñ jis ke

har ek sañg meñ zaḳhm-e-safar hai chāragaro

har ek din kī tarah thā visāl kā din bhī

jilau meñ farsh, na qadmoñ meñ āsmān liye

qarīb aa.e aur aa kar badal ga.e mausam

guzar ga.ī shab-e-hijrāñ baġhair jaan liye

koī sune bhī to kyā dāstāñ sunā.ūñ use

hadīs-e-shām-o-sahar muḳhtasar hai chāragaro

sivā.e ye ki dil āshufta-sar hai chāragaro

sanam-kadon mein charaghan hai mai-kadon ki taraf

nigah-e-pir-e-mughan ki sabil jari hai

har ek fusun hai, magar be-asar hai chaaragaro

idhar bhi tishna-labi mustaqil nahin jati

yahan bhi nashsha-e-na-mo'tabar hai chaaragaro

main aisa jada-e-manzil guzishta hun jis ke

har ek sang mein zaKHm-e-safar hai chaaragaro

har ek din ki tarah tha visal ka din bhi

jilau mein farsh, na qadmon mein aasman liye

qarib aae aur aa kar badal gae mausam

guzar gai shab-e-hijran baghair jaan liye

koi sune bhi to kya dastan sunaun use

hadis-e-sham-o-sahar muKHtasar hai chaaragaro

siwae ye ki dil aashufta-sar hai chaaragaro
