faza-e-gosha-e-dil mein tujhe jab jalwa-gar dekha

fazā-e-gosha-e-dil meñ tujhe jab jalva-gar dekhā

mirī nazroñ ne hairat se mujhī ko umr-bhar dekhā

tavaqqo.a se tire fazl-o-karam ko beshtar dekhā

mujhe sharm aa ga.ī jab apnā dāman muḳhtasar dekhā

rahā lab tishna-e-taskīñ mirā imkān-e-nazzāra

agarche dekhne kī tarh tujh ko umr-bhar dekhā

tasavvur kī hadoñ ko naaz thā jin kī tajallī par

nazar vāloñ ne un jalvoñ ko tā-hadd-e-nazar dekhā

sab apne dil meñ ik tīr-e-nazar mahsūs karte haiñ

magar koī batā saktā nahīñ us ne kidhar dekhā

tire sajdoñ se matlab thā makān-o-lā-makāñ kaisā

na ham ne rah-guzar dekhī na ham ne sañg-e-dar dekhā

nazar aatā na thā jo gird-e-afkār-o-havādis meñ

vo sāhil-āñkh ne tūfān-e-ġham meñ Duub kar dekhā

mazāq-e-ishq ko āzād-e-qaid-e-rañg-o-bū dekhā

junūñ ko be-niyāz-e-bandish-e-dīvār-o-dar dekhā

dil-e-yak-qatra-ḳhūñ us meñ soz-o-iztirāb itnā

zarā sī chiiz meñ hañgāma-e-barq-o-sharar dekhā

tumhāre sañg-e-dar ko sañg-e-dar ab kis tarah kah duuñ

ki jab sajda kiyā sar ko jabīn-e-arsh par dekhā

vo aa.e naza.a meñ tajdīd karne rasm-e-ulfat kī

baḌhā dī dāstāñ jab merā qissa muḳhtasar dekhā

ajab manzil thī ai 'sīmāb' apnī manzil-e-hastī

na dam lene kī fursat thī na yārā-e-safar dekhā

faza-e-gosha-e-dil mein tujhe jab jalwa-gar dekha

meri nazron ne hairat se mujhi ko umr-bhar dekha

tawaqqoa se tere fazl-o-karam ko beshtar dekha

mujhe sharm aa gai jab apna daman muKHtasar dekha

raha lab tishna-e-taskin mera imkan-e-nazzara

agarche dekhne ki tarh tujh ko umr-bhar dekha

tasawwur ki hadon ko naz tha jin ki tajalli par

nazar walon ne un jalwon ko ta-hadd-e-nazar dekha

sab apne dil mein ek tir-e-nazar mahsus karte hain

magar koi bata sakta nahin us ne kidhar dekha

tere sajdon se matlab tha makan-o-la-makan kaisa

na hum ne rah-guzar dekhi na hum ne sang-e-dar dekha

nazar aata na tha jo gird-e-afkar-o-hawadis mein

wo sahil-ankh ne tufan-e-gham mein Dub kar dekha

mazaq-e-ishq ko aazad-e-qaid-e-rang-o-bu dekha

junun ko be-niyaz-e-bandish-e-diwar-o-dar dekha

dil-e-yak-qatra-KHun us mein soz-o-iztirab itna

zara si chiz mein hangama-e-barq-o-sharar dekha

tumhaare sang-e-dar ko sang-e-dar ab kis tarah kah dun

ki jab sajda kiya sar ko jabin-e-arsh par dekha

wo aae naza mein tajdid karne rasm-e-ulfat ki

baDha di dastan jab mera qissa muKHtasar dekha

ajab manzil thi ai 'simab' apnī manzil-e-hasti

na dam lene ki fursat thi na yara-e-safar dekha
