kisī ke faiz-e-qurb se hayāt ab sañvar ga.ī

nafas nafas mahak uThā nazar nazar nikhar ga.ī

nigāh-e-nāz jab uThī ajiib kaam kar ga.ī

jo rañg-e-ruḳh uḌā diyā to dil meñ rañg bhar ga.ī

mirī samajh meñ aa gayā har ek rāz-e-zindagī

jo dil pe choT paḌ ga.ī to duur tak nazar ga.ī

ab aas TuuT kar mujhe sukūñ nasīb ho gayā

jo shām-e-intizār thī vo shaam to guzar ga.ī

kalī dil-e-tabāh kī khilī na 'chishti'-e-hazīñ

ḳhizāñ bhī aa ke jā chukī bahār bhī guzar ga.ī
