har shaKHs gham-e-hijr ka afsana kahe hai

har shaḳhs ġham-e-hijr kā afsāna kahe hai

rag rag meñ vahī haiñ tirā dīvāna kahe hai

hai bā.is-e-taskīñ vo hī har rañj-o-alam meñ

duniyā jise andāz-e-raqībāna kahe hai

us dil meñ biThā kar but-e-kāfir ko maiñ pūjūñ

kahtā hai koī dil ko to but-ḳhāna kahe hai

jo vasl kā tālib hai to jal ātish-e-ġham meñ

jal kar sar-e-mahfil ye hī parvāna kahe hai

ka.aba hai yahī dil yahī but-ḳhāna hai vaa.iz

dīvāna jise maskan jānāna kahe hai

ye ain-e-haqīqat hai mohabbat meñ ai 'kāvish'

duniyā jise mansūr kā afsāna kahe hai

har shaKHs gham-e-hijr ka afsana kahe hai

rag rag mein wahi hain tera diwana kahe hai

hai bais-e-taskin wo hi har ranj-o-alam mein

duniya jise andaz-e-raqibana kahe hai

us dil mein biTha kar but-e-kafir ko main pujun

kahta hai koi dil ko to but-KHana kahe hai

jo wasl ka talib hai to jal aatish-e-gham mein

jal kar sar-e-mahfil ye hi parwana kahe hai

kaba hai yahi dil yahi but-KHana hai waiz

diwana jise maskan jaanana kahe hai

ye ain-e-haqiqat hai mohabbat mein ai 'kawish'

duniya jise mansur ka afsana kahe hai
