kuchh is tarah se nazar se guzar gayā koī

ki dil ko ġham kā sazā-vār kar gayā koī

dil-e-sitam-zada ko jaise kuchh huā hī nahīñ

ḳhud apne husn se yuuñ be-ḳhabar gayā koī

vo ek jalva-e-sad-rang ik hujūm-e-bahār

na jaane kaun thā jaane kidhar gayā koī

nazar ki tishna-e-dīdār thī rahī mahrūm

nazar uThā.ī to dil meñ utar gayā koī

nigāh-e-shauq kī mahrūmiyoñ se nā-vāqif

nigāh-e-shauq pe ilzām dhar gayā koī

ab un ke husn meñ husn-e-nazar bhī shāmil hai

kuchh aur merī nazar se sañvar gayā koī

kisī ke paañv kī aahaT ki dil kī dhaḌkan thī

hazār baar uThā sū-e-dar gayā koī

nasīb-e-ahl-e-vafā ye sukūn-e-dil to na thā

zarūr nāla-e-dil be-asar gayā koī

uThā phir aaj mire dil meñ rashk kā tūfāñ

phir un kī raah se bā-chashm-e-tar gayā koī

ye kah ke yaad kareñge 'hafīz' dost mujhe

vafā kī rasm ko pā.inda kar gayā koī
