ek dil ki lagi hai jo bujhai nahin jati
ik dil kī lagī hai jo bujhā.ī nahīñ jaatī
ik 'ishq kī baazī hai jo haarī nahīñ jaatī
kis tarh guzārūñgā maiñ ik 'umr-e-gurezāñ
ik raat to ab mujh se guzārī nahīñ jaatī
jis raah ko taktā thā baḌe shauq se din-bhar
us raah pe ab merī nigah bhī nahīñ jaatī
thā riñd kā ye haal ki mai-kHāna bhī kam thā
ab buuñd halaq se bhī utārī nahīñ jaatī
tum kaise jahāñ bhar ke ḳhazānoñ pe ho qābiz
ham se to ye ġhurbat bhī sambhālī nahīñ jaatī
ik vaqt thā jab apnī hukūmat thī jahāñ meñ
mahkūmī kī ye shab to guzārī nahīñ jaatī
thā 'ishq kisī daur meñ anmol asāsa
ab to vo musībat hai jo paalī nahīñ jaatī
'shāyān' tire sāmne kāñToñ kā safar hai
chalne kī magar 'ādat ġhāzī nahīñ jaatī
ek dil ki lagi hai jo bujhai nahin jati
ek 'ishq ki bazi hai jo haari nahin jati
kis tarh guzarunga main ek 'umr-e-gurezan
ek raat to ab mujh se guzari nahin jati
jis rah ko takta tha baDe shauq se din-bhar
us rah pe ab meri nigah bhi nahin jati
tha rind ka ye haal ki mai-kHana bhi kam tha
ab bund halaq se bhi utari nahin jati
tum kaise jahan bhar ke KHazanon pe ho qabiz
hum se to ye ghurbat bhi sambhaali nahin jati
ek waqt tha jab apni hukumat thi jahan mein
mahkumi ki ye shab to guzari nahin jati
tha 'ishq kisi daur mein anmol asasa
ab to wo musibat hai jo pali nahin jati
'shayan' tere samne kanTon ka safar hai
chalne ki magar 'adat ghazi nahin jati
