kal hazare mein nazar ek gul-badan jo aa gaya

kal hazāre meñ nazar ek gul-badan jo aa gayā

haath malmal maiñ rahā dil phuul sā kumhlā gayā

haiñ sukh miltā nahīñ mujh ko us se qasam

jaise to hālat chikan-paT aañ kar dikhlā gayā

ḳhvāhish ab mujh ko nahīñ hai shīrīnī tere lab kī

jāma-e-'uryāñ hamāre dil ko aisā bhā gayā

maare ġhussa ke bhaveñ simTī huī haiñ yaar kī

dauḌtā taare liye jo sāmne se aa gayā

raat bhar dhoyā kiyā dariyā-e-mai meñ haath ko

shak zarā sī chhīñT kā jo mere dil meñ aa gayā

aaj aate haiñ vo kyā merī nazar kam-ḳhvāb meñ

yaar kī jāloñ kī āñkheñ koī kyā bhā gayā

tuul denā thā nahīñ az bad nazar ko ai ‘sihāb’

itne hī kapḌoñ meñ dil to ab uktā gayā

kal hazare mein nazar ek gul-badan jo aa gaya

hath malmal main raha dil phul sa kumhla gaya

hain sukh milta nahin mujh ko us se qasam

jaise to haalat chikan-paT aan kar dikhla gaya

KHwahish ab mujh ko nahin hai shirini tere lab ki

jama-e-'uryan hamare dil ko aisa bha gaya

mare ghussa ke bhawen simTi hui hain yar ki

dauDta tare liye jo samne se aa gaya

raat bhar dhoya kiya dariya-e-mai mein hath ko

shak zara si chhinT ka jo mere dil mein aa gaya

aaj aate hain wo kya meri nazar kam-KHwab mein

yar ki jalon ki aankhen koi kya bha gaya

tul dena tha nahin az bad nazar ko ai ‘sihab’

itne hi kapDon mein dil to ab ukta gaya
