hain hum bhi KHub chah ka saman kiye hue

haiñ ham bhī ḳhuub chaah kā sāmāñ kiye hue

baiThe haiñ ghar ko pahle hī vīrāñ kiye hue

dhoke meñ aa ke bāġh-e-jahāñ meñ chale ga.e

dil meñ gumān-e-kūcha-e-jānāñ kiye hue

baiThā huuñ roz-e-hijr meñ har ik ghaḌī pe maiñ

azm-e-shumār-e-reg-e-bayābāñ kiye hue

paas un ko rahve apne jo nāmūs-o-nang kā

ham bhī phireñge chaak garebāñ kiye hue

'ārif' batā ki sar hai ye kis din ke vāste

phirtā hai aaj teġh vo uryāñ kiye hue

hain hum bhi KHub chah ka saman kiye hue

baiThe hain ghar ko pahle hi viran kiye hue

dhoke mein aa ke bagh-e-jahan mein chale gae

dil mein guman-e-kucha-e-jaanan kiye hue

baiTha hun roz-e-hijr mein har ek ghaDi pe main

azm-e-shumar-e-reg-e-bayaban kiye hue

pas un ko rahwe apne jo namus-o-nang ka

hum bhi phirenge chaak gareban kiye hue

'arif' bata ki sar hai ye kis din ke waste

phirta hai aaj tegh wo uryan kiye hue
