dil se kya puchhta hai zulf-e-girah-gir se puchh

dil se kyā pūchhtā hai zulf-e-girah-gīr se pūchh

apne dīvāne kā ahvāl tū zanjīr se pūchh

merī jāñ-bāzī ke jauhar nahīñ raushan tujh par

kuchh khule haiñ tirī shamshīr pe shamshīr se pūchh

pursish-e-hāl ko jaatī hai kahāñ ai lailā

qais kī shakl hai kyā qais kī tasvīr se pūchh

vāqif-e-rāz nahīñ pīr-e-muġhāñ sā koī

hai dilā pūchhnā jo kuchh tujhe us piir se pūchh

vāqif-e-lazzat-e-āzār nahīñ har koī

kyā mazā ġham meñ hai ye āshiq-e-dil-gīr se pūchh

garmī-e-shauq nahīñ hai to dahan meñ ai sham.a

kis liye terī zabāñ letā hai gul-gīr se pūchh

ulTī kyuuñ paḌtī hai tadbīr ye ham kyā jāneñ

kaun ulaT detā hai is raaz ko tadbīr se pūchh

mujh se ai dāvar-e-mahshar hai ye pursish kaisī

pūchhnā hai tujhe jo kuchh mirī taqdīr se pūchh

yuuñ to ustād-e-fan-e-sher bahut se guzre

kis ko kahte haiñ ġhazal-goī 'asar' 'mīr' se pūchh

dil se kya puchhta hai zulf-e-girah-gir se puchh

apne diwane ka ahwal tu zanjir se puchh

meri jaan-bazi ke jauhar nahin raushan tujh par

kuchh khule hain teri shamshir pe shamshir se puchh

pursish-e-haal ko jati hai kahan ai laila

qais ki shakl hai kya qais ki taswir se puchh

waqif-e-raaz nahin pir-e-mughan sa koi

hai dila puchhna jo kuchh tujhe us pir se puchh

waqif-e-lazzat-e-azar nahin har koi

kya maza gham mein hai ye aashiq-e-dil-gir se puchh

garmi-e-shauq nahin hai to dahan mein ai shama

kis liye teri zaban leta hai gul-gir se puchh

ulTi kyun paDti hai tadbir ye hum kya jaanen

kaun ulaT deta hai is raaz ko tadbir se puchh

mujh se ai dawar-e-mahshar hai ye pursish kaisi

puchhna hai tujhe jo kuchh meri taqdir se puchh

yun to ustad-e-fan-e-sher bahut se guzre

kis ko kahte hain ghazal-goi 'asar' 'mir' se puchh
