kyun KHarabaat mein laf-e-hama-dani waiz

kyuuñ ḳharābāt meñ lāf-e-hama-dānī vaa.iz

kaun suntā hai tirī harzā-bayānī vaa.iz

daftar-e-va.az ke nuqte bhī na hoñge itne

jitne haiñ dil meñ mire dāġh-e-nihānī vaa.iz

sach sahī jannat-o-dozaḳh kā fasāna lekin

kis tarah maan luuñ maiñ terī zabānī vaa.iz

be-vazū pā-e-ḳhum-e-bāda ko chhū letā hai

ḳhaak aatī hai tujhe martaba-dānī vaa.iz

narm bhī dil suḳhan-e-garm se ab tak na huā

dekh lī ham ne tirī sho.ala-bayānī vaa.iz

nek-o-bad ḳhuub samajhtā huuñ karūñ kyā ki abhī

sunñe detā nahīñ āshob-e-javānī vaa.iz

rindī-o-zohd riyā.ī meñ haiñ donoñ yaktā

misl merā hai na terā koī saanī vaa.iz

ye ḳharābāt hai jā ḳhair se apne ghar ko

muñh kī khulvā.e na phir tez-zabānī vaa.iz

aaj samjhā ga.ī kyā tujh ko ibādat terī

na rahā mashġhala-e-ashk-fishānī vaa.iz

is qadar hai jo dam-e-naza.a havas duniyā kī

saath le jā.egā kyā ālam-e-fānī vaa.iz

riñd huuñ de mujhe jām-e-mai-at.har kī ḳhabar

tujh ko kausar kā mubārak rahe paanī vaa.iz

zard ho jaatā hai sun kar ruḳh-e-gulgūñ merā

tirī taqrīr hai yā bād-e-ḳhizānī vaa.iz

naqsha firdaus kā bātoñ meñ dikhā detā hai

ye zabāñ hai tirī yā ḳhāma-e-mānī vaa.iz

chalte phirte nahīñ be-vaj.h ye ronā merā

saath phirtā huuñ liye ġham kī nishānī vaa.iz

kyā ruke ḳhāma-e-'taslīm' dam-e-fikr-e-suḳhan

tab.a meñ aaj hai dariyā kī ravānī vaa.iz

kyun KHarabaat mein laf-e-hama-dani waiz

kaun sunta hai teri harza-bayani waiz

daftar-e-waz ke nuqte bhi na honge itne

jitne hain dil mein mere dagh-e-nihani waiz

sach sahi jannat-o-dozaKH ka fasana lekin

kis tarah man lun main teri zabani waiz

be-wazu pa-e-KHum-e-baada ko chhu leta hai

KHak aati hai tujhe martaba-dani waiz

narm bhi dil suKHan-e-garm se ab tak na hua

dekh li hum ne teri shoala-bayani waiz

nek-o-bad KHub samajhta hun karun kya ki abhi

sunne deta nahin aashob-e-jawani waiz

rindi-o-zohd riyai mein hain donon yakta

misl mera hai na tera koi sani waiz

ye KHarabaat hai ja KHair se apne ghar ko

munh ki khulwae na phir tez-zabani waiz

aaj samjha gai kya tujh ko ibaadat teri

na raha mashghala-e-ashk-fishani waiz

is qadar hai jo dam-e-naza hawas duniya ki

sath le jaega kya aalam-e-fani waiz

rind hun de mujhe jam-e-mai-athar ki KHabar

tujh ko kausar ka mubarak rahe pani waiz

zard ho jata hai sun kar ruKH-e-gulgun mera

teri taqrir hai ya baad-e-KHizani waiz

naqsha firdaus ka baaton mein dikha deta hai

ye zaban hai teri ya KHama-e-mani waiz

chalte phirte nahin be-wajh ye rona mera

sath phirta hun liye gham ki nishani waiz

kya ruke KHama-e-'taslim' dam-e-fikr-e-suKHan

taba mein aaj hai dariya ki rawani waiz
