hazar tarah se gardish mein aaftab raha

hazār tarah se gardish meñ āftāb rahā

nigāh-e-nāz kā lekin kahāñ javāb rahā

vo aa ga.e haiñ to ab chhoḌo is fasāne ko

kahāñ kahāñ maiñ phirā kis tarah ḳharāb rahā

sunā rahā huuñ unheñ jhūT-mūT ik qissa

ki ek shaḳhs mohabbat meñ kāmyāb rahā

agarche aur bhī fitne uThe qayāmat ke

tirā shabāb hī aalam meñ intiḳhāb rahā

rah-e-hayāt meñ ham chāk-e-dil se dekheñge

jahāñ jahāñ bhī ruḳh-e-dahr par naqāb rahā

hazar tarah se gardish mein aaftab raha

nigah-e-naz ka lekin kahan jawab raha

wo aa gae hain to ab chhoDo is fasane ko

kahan kahan main phira kis tarah KHarab raha

suna raha hun unhen jhuT-muT ek qissa

ki ek shaKHs mohabbat mein kaamyab raha

agarche aur bhi fitne uThe qayamat ke

tera shabab hi aalam mein intiKHab raha

rah-e-hayat mein hum chaak-e-dil se dekhenge

jahan jahan bhi ruKH-e-dahr par naqab raha
