girāñ guzarne lagā daur-e-intizār mujhe
zarā thapak ke sulā de ḳhayāl-e-yār mujhe
na aayā ġham bhī mohabbat meñ sāzgār mujhe
vo ḳhud taḌap ga.e dekhā jo be-qarār mujhe
nigāh-e-sharmagīñ chupke se le uḌī mujh ko
pukārtā hī rahā koī baar baar mujhe
nigāh-e-mast ye meyār-e-be-ḳhudī kyā hai
zamāne vaale samajhte haiñ hoshiyār mujhe
bajā hai tark-e-ta.alluq kā mashvara lekin
na iḳhtiyār unheñ hai na iḳhtiyār mujhe
bahār aur ba-qaid-e-ḳhizāñ hai nañg mujhe
agar mile to mile mustaqil bahār mujhe
