kya kahiye
ġhairoñ kā to kahnā kyā mahram se nahīñ kahtā
maiñ ālam-e-ġham apnā aalam se nahīñ kahtā
paḌh letī haiñ kaifiyyat kuchh taḌpī huī nazreñ
dukh apnā maiñ har chashm-e-pur-nam se nahīñ kahtā
rahgīr huuñ maiñ aisā har ḳham se guzartā hai
dāvat pe jo rindān-e-ḳhurram se nahīñ kahtā
mausam hama-gardish hai pasmānda-e-gardish meñ
lab-tishna koī ye shai kyuuñ jam se nahīñ kahtā
kasb-e-mut.harrik se pā-basta nasab tuġhre
ye kyā hai koī ahal-e-ḳhātam se nahīñ kahtā
aa dāġh-e-mohabbat ke sāñche meñ tujhe Dhālūñ
ḳhātam se maiñ kahtā huuñ dirham se nahīñ kahtā
kuchh baat thī kahne kī kuchh bhuul gayā ab maiñ
fitrat se nahīñ kahtā aadam se nahīñ kahtā
kahiye to nahīñ bāvar nā kahiye to kāfir-tar
kahne kī qasam mujh ko ko maiñ zam se nahīñ kahtā
kahlāne meñ ḳhud un kā kuchh takmila nā-ras hai
ulTe unhīñ shikve haiñ kyuuñ ham se nahīñ kahtā
haañ merī ye uljhan to har dil meñ khaTaktī hai
kuchh muḌ ke koī zulf-e-barham se nahīñ kahtā
kyuuñ ho na junūñ kam-go jab hotā hai ye zīrak
dohrātī huī bāteñ mahrūm se nahīñ kahtā
kahne se huā gahrā kuchh aur ġham-e-pinhāñ
maiñ saa.e se kahtā huuñ hamdam se nahīñ kahtā
jis lamhe se dekhā hai ik sher sarāpā ko
dānista koī misra.a us dam se nahīñ kahtā
dete haiñ vo mahfil meñ yuuñ daad 'latīfī' ko
ash.ār ye kyā aksar mub.ham se nahīñ kahtā
ghairon ka to kahna kya mahram se nahin kahta
main aalam-e-gham apna aalam se nahin kahta
paDh leti hain kaifiyyat kuchh taDpi hui nazren
dukh apna main har chashm-e-pur-nam se nahin kahta
rahgir hun main aisa har KHam se guzarta hai
dawat pe jo rindan-e-KHurram se nahin kahta
mausam hama-gardish hai pasmanda-e-gardish mein
lab-tishna koi ye shai kyun jam se nahin kahta
kasb-e-mutharrik se pa-basta nasab tughre
ye kya hai koi ahal-e-KHatam se nahin kahta
aa dagh-e-mohabbat ke sanche mein tujhe Dhaalun
KHatam se main kahta hun dirham se nahin kahta
kuchh baat thi kahne ki kuchh bhul gaya ab main
fitrat se nahin kahta aadam se nahin kahta
kahiye to nahin bawar na kahiye to kafir-tar
kahne ki qasam mujh ko ko main zam se nahin kahta
kahlane mein KHud un ka kuchh takmila na-ras hai
ulTe unhin shikwe hain kyun hum se nahin kahta
han meri ye uljhan to har dil mein khaTakti hai
kuchh muD ke koi zulf-e-barham se nahin kahta
kyun ho na junun kam-go jab hota hai ye zirak
dohraati hui baaten mahrum se nahin kahta
kahne se hua gahra kuchh aur gham-e-pinhan
main sae se kahta hun hamdam se nahin kahta
jis lamhe se dekha hai ek sher sarapa ko
danista koi misra us dam se nahin kahta
dete hain wo mahfil mein yun dad 'latifi' ko
ashaar ye kya aksar mubham se nahin kahta
