aane mein tere dost bahut der ho gai

aane meñ tere dost bahut der ho ga.ī

bazm-e-hayāt ab zabar-o-zer ho ga.ī

parde kuchh aise rū-ba-rū āñkhoñ ke aa ga.e

duniyā mirī nigāh meñ andher ho ga.ī

duniyā ke jabr-o-jaur se kyūñkar amaañ mile

maiñ chup rahā to aur bhī vo sher ho ga.ī

kyā pūchhte haiñ ab dil-e-mahzūñ kā haal aap

us ko mare hue to bahut der ho ga.ī

har chand zindagī ne sambhāle liye bahut

phir bhī ajal ke haath se vo zer ho ga.ī

'sarshār' zikr-e-raunaq-e-bāġh-e-jahāñ na kar

uktā gayā dil is se nazar ser ho ga.ī

aane mein tere dost bahut der ho gai

bazm-e-hayat ab zabar-o-zer ho gai

parde kuchh aise ru-ba-ru aankhon ke aa gae

duniya meri nigah mein andher ho gai

duniya ke jabr-o-jaur se kyunkar aman mile

main chup raha to aur bhi wo sher ho gai

kya puchhte hain ab dil-e-mahzun ka haal aap

us ko mare hue to bahut der ho gai

har chand zindagi ne sambhaale liye bahut

phir bhi ajal ke hath se wo zer ho gai

'sarshaar' zikr-e-raunaq-e-bagh-e-jahan na kar

ukta gaya dil is se nazar ser ho gai
