muddat huī us jān-e-hayā ne ham se ye iqrār kiyā

jitne bhī badnām hue ham utnā us ne pyaar kiyā

pahle bhī ḳhush-chashmoñ meñ ham chaukannā se rahte the

terī soī āñkhoñ ne to aur hameñ hoshiyār kiyā

jaate jaate koī ham se achchhe rahnā kah to gayā

pūchhe lekin pūchhne vaale kis ne ye bīmār kiyā

qatra qatra sirf huā hai ishq meñ apne dil lahū

shakl dikhā.ī tab us ne jab āñkhoñ ko ḳhūñ-bār kiyā

ham par kitnī baar paḌe ye daure bhī tanhā.ī ke

jo bhī ham se milne aayā milne se inkār kiyā

ishq meñ kyā nuqsān nafā hai ham ko kyā samjhāte ho

ham ne saarī umr yaaro dil kārobār kiyā

mahfil par jab niiñd chhā.ī sab ke sab ḳhāmosh hue

ham ne tab kuchh sher sunāyā logoñ ko bedār kiyā

ab tum socho ab tum jaano jo chāho ab rañg bharo

ham ne to ik naqsha khīñchā ik ḳhāka tayyār kiyā

desh se jab pardesh sidhāre ham par ye bhī vaqt paḌā

nazmeñ chhoḌī ġhazleñ chhoḌī gītoñ bevpār kiyā
