jahan na dil ko sukun hai na hai qarar mujhe

jahāñ na dil ko sukūn hai na hai qarār mujhe

ye kis maqām pe le aa.ī yād-e-yār mujhe

ye baat sach hai maiñ barg-e-ḳhizāñ-rasīda huuñ

magar salām kiyā kartī hai bahār mujhe

sitam ye hai vo kabhī bhuul kar nahīñ aayā

tamām umr rahā jis kā intizār mujhe

bas apne-āp sañvarnā bhī koī baat huī

tū apnī zulf kī sūrat kabhī sañvār mujhe

abas hai dosto tashrīh-e-vāda-e-fardā

ab is kā zikr bhī hotā hai nāgavār mujhe

tamām umr jhulastā rahā maiñ sahrā meñ

kahīñ shajar nazar aayā na sāya-dār mujhe

bahār-e-nau ye haqīqat hai yā fareb-e-nigāh

libās-e-gul nazar aatā hai taar taar mujhe

gunāh jis se na sarzad huā ho ai 'ājiz'

usī ko haq hai vo kah de gunāhgār mujhe

jahan na dil ko sukun hai na hai qarar mujhe

ye kis maqam pe le aai yaad-e-yar mujhe

ye baat sach hai main barg-e-KHizan-rasida hun

magar salam kiya karti hai bahaar mujhe

sitam ye hai wo kabhi bhul kar nahin aaya

tamam umr raha jis ka intizar mujhe

bas apne-ap sanwarna bhi koi baat hui

tu apni zulf ki surat kabhi sanwar mujhe

abas hai dosto tashrih-e-wada-e-farda

ab is ka zikr bhi hota hai nagawar mujhe

tamam umr jhulasta raha main sahra mein

kahin shajar nazar aaya na saya-dar mujhe

bahaar-e-nau ye haqiqat hai ya fareb-e-nigah

libas-e-gul nazar aata hai tar tar mujhe

gunah jis se na sarzad hua ho ai 'ajiz'

usi ko haq hai wo kah de gunahgar mujhe
