sahbā-e-nazar ke is chhalkāne ko kyā kahiye

us shoḳh kī āñkhoñ ke paimāne ko kyā kahiye

yuuñ barq ne phūñkā hai sab ḳhaak hue sapne

barbād nasheman ke afsāne ko kyā kahiye

de kar ġham-e-dil ab vo bīmār-e-mohabbat ko

samjhāte haiñ un ke is samjhāne ko kyā kahiye

ye soz-e-mohabbat hai jab sham.a huī raushan

jal jaatā hai chupke se parvāne ko kyā kahiye

baiThā hai abhī aa kar uTh kar abhī chal degā

dīvāna hai dīvāna dīvāne ko kyā kahiye

hāthoñ meñ liye patthar phirte haiñ mire pīchhe

apnoñ kī ye hālat hai begāne ko kyā kahiye

ronā mujhe aatā hai hālat pe tirī 'āfat'

ghar kī jo ye sūrat hai vīrāne ko kyā kahiye
