bala-kashan-e-gham-e-intizar hum bhi hain

balā-kashān-e-ġham-e-intizār ham bhī haiñ

kHarāb-e-gardish-e-laila-o-nahār ham bhī haiñ

dil-havas jo nishāna terī nazar kā huā

to rūh-e-shaukat kā jī shikār ham bhī haiñ

usī se chhupte haiñ hotī haiñ jin kī nazar

agar yahī hai to umīd-vār ham bhī haiñ

nigāh-e-yār se iz.hār-e-iltifāt huā

to haal dal ne āshakār ham bhī haiñ

shikāyat un kī na chāho yahī kaho 'hasrat'

nishāna-e-shikam-e-rozgār ham bhī haiñ

bala-kashan-e-gham-e-intizar hum bhi hain

kHarab-e-gardish-e-laila-o-nahaar hum bhi hain

dil-hawas jo nishana teri nazar ka hua

to ruh-e-shaukat ka ji shikar hum bhi hain

usi se chhupte hain hoti hain jin ki nazar

agar yahi hai to umid-war hum bhi hain

nigah-e-yar se izhaar-e-iltifat hua

to haal dal ne aashakar hum bhi hain

shikayat un ki na chaho yahi kaho 'hasrat'

nishana-e-shikam-e-rozgar hum bhi hain
