baala-e-baam ghair hai mein aastan par
bālā-e-bām ġhair hai meñ āstān par
chāheñ jise chaḌhā.eñ huzūr āsmān par
kyuuñ nā-murād aah ga.ī āsmān par
TuuTe na āsmān kahīñ merī jaan par
rusvā.iyāñ haiñ saath vo chhup kar hazār jaan
sau sau ke sar jhuke haiñ qadam ke nishān par
aanā use zarūr go hoñ laakh ehtimām
āshiq hai un kī niiñd mirī dāstān par
thā rāz-dār-e-husn vo kāfir jo kah gayā
ma.ashūq dil kī baat na laa.eñ zabān par
un kī galī meñ raat meñ is vaz.a se gayā
ghabrā ke pāsbān gire pāsbān par
nāzuk sī teġh-e-yār hai kyā zahr kī bujhī
khaa.e hue hai zahr mire imtihān par
bante haiñ shoḳhiyoñ se vo sūraj bhī chāñd bhī
naqsh-e-qadam bhī aap ke haiñ āsmān par
ḳhalvat meñ bhī chalī haiñ kahīñ sīna-zoriyāñ
is tarah aap tan ke uThe kis gumān par
zikr-e-mai-e-tahūr ne taḌpā diyā 'riyāz'
jaanā paḌā hameñ kisī ūñchī dukān par
baala-e-baam ghair hai mein aastan par
chahen jise chaDhaen huzur aasman par
kyun na-murad aah gai aasman par
TuTe na aasman kahin meri jaan par
ruswaiyan hain sath wo chhup kar hazar jaan
sau sau ke sar jhuke hain qadam ke nishan par
aana use zarur go hon lakh ehtimam
aashiq hai un ki nind meri dastan par
tha raaz-dar-e-husn wo kafir jo kah gaya
mashuq dil ki baat na laen zaban par
un ki gali mein raat mein is waza se gaya
ghabra ke pasban gire pasban par
nazuk si tegh-e-yar hai kya zahr ki bujhi
khae hue hai zahr mere imtihan par
bante hain shoKHiyon se wo suraj bhi chand bhi
naqsh-e-qadam bhi aap ke hain aasman par
KHalwat mein bhi chali hain kahin sina-zoriyan
is tarah aap tan ke uThe kis guman par
zikr-e-mai-e-tahur ne taDpa diya 'riyaz'
jaana paDa hamein kisi unchi dukan par
