ai waqt tu guzarne laga kis maqam se
ai vaqt tū guzarne lagā kis maqām se
bezār hai zamāna mohabbat ke naam se
nazreñ milīñ to āñkhoñ ne dekhe hazār ḳhvāb
lākhoñ gumān ubhre tumhāre salām se
jin kī ragoñ meñ ḳhuun hai rishvat kā vo mujhe
āgāh kar rahe haiñ halāl-o-harām se
mullā zamāna-sāz hai panDit hai zar-parast
donoñ ko kuchh ġharaz nahīñ rahmān-o-rām se
ahbāb khā ga.e haiñ fareb-e-ziyāñ-o-sūd
byopār ho rahā hai mohabbat ke naam se
ab raat ho chukī hai ai āvārgī chalūñ
āvāz de rahā hai koī mujh ko shaam se
tujh meñ shabīh paa.ī hai māh-e-tamām kī
tashbīh tujh ko kyoñ na duuñ māh-e-tamām se
be-laus milne vaalā ab aatā nahīñ koī
aate haiñ ab jo log vo aate haiñ kaam se
mauzū' chāhe koī ho mere kalām kā
maiñ ham-kalām hotā huuñ 'ash.har' 'avām se
ai waqt tu guzarne laga kis maqam se
bezar hai zamana mohabbat ke nam se
nazren milin to aankhon ne dekhe hazar KHwab
lakhon guman ubhre tumhaare salam se
jin ki ragon mein KHun hai rishwat ka wo mujhe
aagah kar rahe hain halal-o-haram se
mulla zamana-saz hai panDit hai zar-parast
donon ko kuchh gharaz nahin rahman-o-ram se
ahbab kha gae hain fareb-e-ziyan-o-sud
byopar ho raha hai mohabbat ke nam se
ab raat ho chuki hai ai aawargi chalun
aawaz de raha hai koi mujh ko sham se
tujh mein shabih pai hai mah-e-tamam ki
tashbih tujh ko kyon na dun mah-e-tamam se
be-laus milne wala ab aata nahin koi
aate hain ab jo log wo aate hain kaam se
mauzu' chahe koi ho mere kalam ka
main ham-kalam hota hun 'ashhar' 'awam se
