husn-e-taKHil ka paikar Thahra

husn-e-taḳh.īl kā paikar Thahrā

jo mire dard kā mehvar Thahrā

rang dikhlā.e havāoñ ne bahut

shauq zaḳhmoñ kā payambar Thahrā

jaane kis ghar meñ jalī haiñ sham.eñ

jaane vo kis kā muqaddar Thahrā

kaun ehsās kī tah tak pahuñche

kaun is dasht kā sarvar Thahrā

maiñ sitāroñ kī qabā pahnūñgā

tū agar shaam kā manzar Thahrā

log ghabrā.e hue phirte haiñ

kaun is daur kā rahbar Thahrā

'kāzmī' sabr o vafā kā shā.ir

goyā ḳhvāboñ kā samundar Thahrā

husn-e-taKHil ka paikar Thahra

jo mere dard ka mehwar Thahra

rang dikhlae hawaon ne bahut

shauq zaKHmon ka payambar Thahra

jaane kis ghar mein jali hain shamen

jaane wo kis ka muqaddar Thahra

kaun ehsas ki tah tak pahunche

kaun is dasht ka sarwar Thahra

main sitaron ki qaba pahnunga

tu agar sham ka manzar Thahra

log ghabrae hue phirte hain

kaun is daur ka rahbar Thahra

'kazmi' sabr o wafa ka shair

goya KHwabon ka samundar Thahra
