dil ke hote bhī kahīñ dard judā hotā hai
ik faqat maut ke aa jaane se kyā hotā hai
zulm se zikr-e-vafā aur sivā hotā hai
un kī har ek burā.ī meñ bhalā hotā hai
shohdā ne.mat-e-duniyā kī talab bhuul ga.e
ḳhuun ke ghūñT meñ aisā hī mazā hotā hai
ḳhud-farāmoshī-e-ulfat hai ilāj-e-ġham-e-dahr
be-ḳhabar hosh meñ aanā hī burā hotā hai
imtihāñ-gāh tirī mahfil-e-dilkash hai magar
maiñ bhī dekhūñ ki koī dil ke sivā hotā hai
tum se kahtā huuñ mirā ḳhuun mire dil pe sahī
rasm-e-duniyā hai ki apnoñ se gilā hotā hai
bazm se uTh to chalā maiñ ki mahal thā lekin
rone vāloñ se bhalā koī ḳhafā hotā hai
dekh hī lete haiñ sab nāz-o-adā kī sūrat
aa.ina aap kā naqsh-e-kaf-e-pā hotā hai
nāla-e-dil ke asar kā na karo mujh se gila
mujh ko kyā ilm ki kis tarah rasā hotā hai
tauba tauba hai yahī ishq kī bātil nazarī
sañg but-ḳhāne meñ aate hī ḳhudā hotā hai
kyā sabab kuchh tujhe ma.alūm hai ai abr-e-bahār
dil ke murjhāne se kyuuñ zaḳhm harā hotā hai
vo kaheñ yā na kaheñ maiñ huuñ asar se vāqif
bol uThtā hai vo naala jo rasā hotā hai
raushnī din kī abhī hai ki haiñ kho.e hue hosh
dekhnā hai shab-e-tārīk meñ kyā hotā hai
hijr ke dard ko baḌhne de ki hai muzhda-e-vasl
vahī ghaTtā hai jahāñ meñ jo sivā hotā hai
bad-nasībī ho to har ḳhuub kī ḳhūbī hai fuzūl
sub.h kā vaqt sitāroñ ko burā hotā hai
dil to dil sar bhī kabhī hotā hai mamnūn-e-firāq
jis meñ hai ishq ye saudā vo judā hotā hai
mire raazī ba-razā hone se sab raazī haiñ
varna jo hai vo shikāyat se ḳhafā hotā hai
avvalīñ marhala-e-ishq hai jab hasrat-o-maut
koī batlā.e ki phir ba.ad meñ kyā hotā hai
bīm-o-ummīd se kis tarah nikal jā.ūñ ki dil
na Thahartā hai jahāñ meñ na fanā hotā hai
muntazir naza.a meñ chup hai to use chup na samajh
dam kā ruk ruk ke nikalnā bhī gilā hotā hai
shab-e-tārīk meñ niklā to hai dekhūñ 'sāqib'
nā-rasā rahtā hai naala ki rasā hotā hai
dil ke hote bhi kahin dard juda hota hai
ek faqat maut ke aa jaane se kya hota hai
zulm se zikr-e-wafa aur siwa hota hai
un ki har ek burai mein bhala hota hai
shohda nemat-e-duniya ki talab bhul gae
KHun ke ghunT mein aisa hi maza hota hai
KHud-faramoshi-e-ulfat hai ilaj-e-gham-e-dahr
be-KHabar hosh mein aana hi bura hota hai
imtihan-gah teri mahfil-e-dilkash hai magar
main bhi dekhun ki koi dil ke siwa hota hai
tum se kahta hun mera KHun mere dil pe sahi
rasm-e-duniya hai ki apnon se gila hota hai
bazm se uTh to chala main ki mahal tha lekin
rone walon se bhala koi KHafa hota hai
dekh hi lete hain sab naz-o-ada ki surat
aaina aap ka naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa hota hai
nala-e-dil ke asar ka na karo mujh se gila
mujh ko kya ilm ki kis tarah rasa hota hai
tauba tauba hai yahi ishq ki baatil nazari
sang but-KHane mein aate hi KHuda hota hai
kya sabab kuchh tujhe malum hai ai abr-e-bahaar
dil ke murjhane se kyun zaKHm hara hota hai
wo kahen ya na kahen main hun asar se waqif
bol uThta hai wo nala jo rasa hota hai
raushni din ki abhi hai ki hain khoe hue hosh
dekhna hai shab-e-tarik mein kya hota hai
hijr ke dard ko baDhne de ki hai muzhda-e-wasl
wahi ghaTta hai jahan mein jo siwa hota hai
bad-nasibi ho to har KHub ki KHubi hai fuzul
subh ka waqt sitaron ko bura hota hai
dil to dil sar bhi kabhi hota hai mamnun-e-firaq
jis mein hai ishq ye sauda wo juda hota hai
mere raazi ba-raza hone se sab raazi hain
warna jo hai wo shikayat se KHafa hota hai
awwalin marhala-e-ishq hai jab hasrat-o-maut
koi batlae ki phir baad mein kya hota hai
bim-o-ummid se kis tarah nikal jaun ki dil
na Thaharta hai jahan mein na fana hota hai
muntazir naza mein chup hai to use chup na samajh
dam ka ruk ruk ke nikalna bhi gila hota hai
shab-e-tarik mein nikla to hai dekhun 'saqib'
na-rasa rahta hai nala ki rasa hota hai
