ghaflat na thi tasawwur-e-didar-e-yar tha
ġhaflat na thī tasavvur-e-dīdār-e-yār thā
nazzāra-e-jamāl meñ gum intizār thā
huuñ a.alam-e-sukūñ meñ ki a.alam sukūñ meñ hai
maiñ be-qarār thā ki jahāñ be-qarār thā
thī sūrat-e-hijāb haqīqat nigāh kī
jo raaz āshkār na thā āshkār thā
saaqī terī sharāb meñ ye ḳhaas baat thī
nashsha ba-qadr-e-hausla-e-bāda-kHvār thā
koī gunāh hosh se baḌh kar nahīñ gunāh
jo mast ho gayā vo baḌā hoshiyār thā
maiñ ho gayā ġhubār-e-rah-e-dost ai 'zahīn'
phir bhī kisī kī ḳhātir-e-nāzuk pe baar thā
ghaflat na thi tasawwur-e-didar-e-yar tha
nazzara-e-jamal mein gum intizar tha
hun aalam-e-sukun mein ki aalam sukun mein hai
main be-qarar tha ki jahan be-qarar tha
thi surat-e-hijab haqiqat nigah ki
jo raaz aashkar na tha aashkar tha
saqi teri sharab mein ye KHas baat thi
nashsha ba-qadr-e-hausla-e-baada-kHwar tha
koi gunah hosh se baDh kar nahin gunah
jo mast ho gaya wo baDa hoshiyar tha
main ho gaya ghubar-e-rah-e-dost ai 'zahin'
phir bhi kisi ki KHatir-e-nazuk pe bar tha
