ham aaj khā.eñge ik tiir imtihāñ ke liye
ki vaqf karnā hai dil-e-nāz jāñ-sitāñ ke liye
jalā ke dil ko lapak se Daro na sho.ale kī
zabāñ-darāz hai lekin nahīñ fuġhāñ ke liye
usī chaman meñ ki vus'at hai jis kī nā-mahdūd
nahīñ panāh kī jā ek āshiyāñ ke liye
kiyā thā zabt ne da.avā rāz-dār-e-'ishq
uThā hai dard kaleje meñ imtihāñ ke liye
kisī ko DhūñDhe na miltā nazar kī choT kā mail
na hotā dil meñ suvaidā agar nishāñ ke liye
sivā.e dil ke jo sarmāya-e-do 'ālam hai
na kuchh yahāñ ke liye hai na kuchh vahāñ ke liye
na 'ishq jurm hai koī na dil kī baat hai raaz
burā ho sharm kā ik qufl hai zabāñ ke liye
ḳhilāf apne rahī vaz-e’-sāz-o-barg-e-chaman
qafas bane haiñ jo tinke the āshiyāñ ke liye
laraz rahe haiñ falak 'ārzū' ki āh-e-rasā
chalī hai teġh-ba-kaf fat.h-e-haft-ḳhvāñ ke liye
hum aaj khaenge ek tir imtihan ke liye
ki waqf karna hai dil-e-naz jaan-sitan ke liye
jala ke dil ko lapak se Daro na shoale ki
zaban-daraaz hai lekin nahin fughan ke liye
usi chaman mein ki wus'at hai jis ki na-mahdud
nahin panah ki ja ek aashiyan ke liye
kiya tha zabt ne dawa raaz-dar-e-'ishq
uTha hai dard kaleje mein imtihan ke liye
kisi ko DhunDhe na milta nazar ki choT ka mail
na hota dil mein suwaida agar nishan ke liye
siwae dil ke jo sarmaya-e-do 'alam hai
na kuchh yahan ke liye hai na kuchh wahan ke liye
na 'ishq jurm hai koi na dil ki baat hai raaz
bura ho sharm ka ek qufl hai zaban ke liye
KHilaf apne rahi waz-e’-saz-o-barg-e-chaman
qafas bane hain jo tinke the aashiyan ke liye
laraz rahe hain falak 'arzu' ki aah-e-rasa
chali hai tegh-ba-kaf fath-e-haft-KHwan ke liye
