mere mah-jabin ne ba-sad-ada jo naqab ruKH se uTha diya

mere mah-jabīñ ne ba-sad-adā jo naqāb ruḳh se uThā diyā

jo sunā na thā kabhī hosh meñ vo tamāshā mujh ko dikhā diyā

milā shab jo ḳhvāb meñ vo hasīñ ye kahā thā niklegī hasrateñ

ye jafā ye bād-e-sahar ne kī chalī yuuñ ki mujh ko jagā diyā

maiñ agarche ḳhaak meñ mil chukā magar un ke dil meñ ġhubār thā

ki nishān-e-qabr bhī DhūñDh kar mere sañg-e-dil ne miTā diyā

chhuTe qaid-e-dair-o-haram se ham hue ḳhvāb vo jo ḳhayāl the

mujhe sāqiyā mai-e-be-ḳhudī kā vo jaam tū ne pilā diyā

tujhe dekh o but-e-ḳhush-adā phirī aañkh saarī ḳhudā.ī se

vo jo yaad rahtī thī sūrateñ unheñ saaf dil se bhulā diyā

maiñ vo murġh-e-ḳhanā-ḳharāb huuñ ki chaman-e-qafs kā hai zikr kyā

liyā gar hasīnoñ ne mol bhī mujhe sadqa kar ke uḌā diyā

merā garche 'aughaT' naam hai par karam hai 'vāris'-e-pāk kā

zahe-shān dam meñ ġhanī kiyā ki gadā se shaah banā diyā

mere mah-jabin ne ba-sad-ada jo naqab ruKH se uTha diya

jo suna na tha kabhi hosh mein wo tamasha mujh ko dikha diya

mila shab jo KHwab mein wo hasin ye kaha tha niklegi hasraten

ye jafa ye baad-e-sahar ne ki chali yun ki mujh ko jaga diya

main agarche KHak mein mil chuka magar un ke dil mein ghubar tha

ki nishan-e-qabr bhi DhunDh kar mere sang-e-dil ne miTa diya

chhuTe qaid-e-dair-o-haram se hum hue KHwab wo jo KHayal the

mujhe saqiya mai-e-be-KHudi ka wo jam tu ne pila diya

tujhe dekh o but-e-KHush-ada phiri aankh sari KHudai se

wo jo yaad rahti thi suraten unhen saf dil se bhula diya

main wo murgh-e-KHana-KHarab hun ki chaman-e-qafs ka hai zikr kya

liya gar hasinon ne mol bhi mujhe sadqa kar ke uDa diya

mera garche 'aughaT' nam hai par karam hai 'waris'-e-pak ka

zahe-shan dam mein ghani kiya ki gada se shah bana diya
