ishq meñ tere jān-e-zār haif hai muft meñ chalī
tū ne par o sitam-shi.ār ab bhī mirī ḳhabar na lī
koī balā phir aa.egī muft meñ jaan jā.egī
pech meñ ham ko lā.egī zulf-e-siyāh baḌh chalī
aate hī fasl-e-dil-pazīr bole qafas meñ ham-safīr
jis meñ hue the ham asiir lo vahī phir havā chalī
ai gul-e-gulshan-e-vafā be-tire niiñd aa.e kyā
bistar-e-ḳhār se sivā mujh ko hai farsh-e-maḳhmalī
ḳhvāhish-e-justajū-e-yār had se bhī kuchh thī be-shumār
ba.ad-e-fanā mirā ġhubār DhūñDh phirā galī galī
dānish-o-tāqat-o-basar baḌh ga.e saare ham-safar
zād-e-safar kī fikr kar lag rahī hai chalā-chalī
laao pyāla-e-sharāb ghir ke phir aayā hai sahāb
ab nahīñ mere dil ko taab bād-e-bahār phir chalī
ai mah-e-āsmān-jāh tujh sā nahīñ hai kaj-kulāh
le ke falak charāġh-e-māh DhūñDh phirā galī galī
mū-e-safed aa gayā dhabbā ḳhizāb kā lagā
fasl-e-shabā-e-be-vafā dāġh-e-firāq de chalī
kabk kā dil huā figār mor ne jaañ kī nisār
teġh-e-ḳhirām-e-nāz-e-yār chaal na.ī na.ī chalī
bhuul ke koī dosto chāhe na un hasīnoñ ko
ab ye DhiñDhorā pher do lucknow meñ galī galī
go thī ik aag mushta.il jī thā par aisā muzmahil
sham-e-lahad bhī misl-e-dil gaah bujhī kabhī jalī
kahtā hai shoḳh-e-tuñd-ḳhū taab nahīñ dimāġh ko
bā.is-e-dard-e-sar na ho bū-e-libās-e-sandalī
sog meñ apne zaar ke yār-e-vafā-shi.ār ke
mehñdī chhūī na haath se missī na muddatoñ malī
hijr kī shab thī kyā ġhazab had ke sahe ġham-o-ta.ab
sub.h-e-visāl aa.ī ab jaan bachī balā Talī
koī nasīm-e-sub.h se merī taraf se ye kahe
bāġh-e-murād kī mire khil na sakī koī kalī
kyā tire haath aa gayā kab kā tujhe ġhubār thā
kū-e-sanam se kyuuñ sabā ḳhaak mirī uḌā chalī
dil hai bas ab alam se shaq yaas se rañg ruḳh hai faq
dekheñge ham kab ai 'qalaq' āñkhoñ se marqad-e-alī
