ranjishoñ ne jazba-e-iḳhlās garmāyā bhī hai
dostī meñ ham ne kuchh khoyā hai kuchh paayā bhī hai
ik zarā sī baat par kyuuñ kar ta.alluq toḌ duuñ
vo purānā yaar bhī hai merā ham-sāya bhī hai
is taraf dekhā to hai be-shak hiqārat se sahī
shukr hai itnā karam to is ne farmāyā bhī hai
yuuñ to kuchh qīmat nahīñ jins-e-vafā kī haañ magar
jis qadar arzāñ hai ye itnī garāñ-māya bhī hai
sair phir bhī ho nahīñ paayā dil-e-īzā-talab
vaqt ne jī bhar ke go us par sitam Dhāyā bhī hai
hijr kī shab aur yādoñ kī surūr-āgīñ phuvār
kuchh to dil kī be-qarārī ko qarār aayā bhī hai
laakh maujoñ kī balā-ḳhezī ne kī khilvāḌ bhī
us ne kashtī ko magar sāhil pe pahuñchāyā bhī hai
phir bhī yārab kyā milegā hāsidoñ ke shahr meñ
taaj to shohrat kā tū ne mujh ko pahnāyā bhī hai
kyuuñ na 'chāñd' apnī anā ko jaan se rakhūñ aziiz
ye mirā īmān bhī hai merā sarmāya bhī hai
