baat bah jaane kī sun kar ashk barham ho ga.e
ik zarā koshish bhī kī to aur pur-nam ho ga.e
ye huā ma.amūl ki mānūs-e-ġham dil ho gayā
ham samajh baiThe hamāre dard kuchh kam ho ga.e
kaifiyat iz.hār-e-soz-e-dil kī kuchh aisī huī
aate aate lab talak alfāz mub.ham ho ga.e
vaqt kī chāragarī bhī dekhiye kyā ḳhuub hai
ġham davā meñ Dhal gayā aur zaḳhm mahram ho ga.e
gardishoñ ke abr kī ik buuñd tan par kyā girī
kal jo the sho.ala-sifat vo aaj shabnam ho ga.e
the hamāre ḳhuuñ ke qatre ḳhaak kī sūrat ḳhudā
tere naqsh-e-pā ko chhū kar āb-e-zamzam ho ga.e
dushmanī baḌhne kā yuuñ 'nāyāb' ġham ham ko nahīñ
haañ magar afsos ye hai dost kuchh kam ho ga.e
