phulon ko sharmsar kiya hai kabhi kabhi

phūloñ ko sharmsār kiyā hai kabhī kabhī

kāñToñ se ham ne pyaar kiyā hai kabhī kabhī

mauqūf chāk-e-jeb-e-garebāñ hī par nahīñ

dāman bhī tār-tār kiyā hai kabhī kabhī

maiñ muztarib rahā huuñ ye sach hai firāq meñ

un ko bhī be-qarār kiyā hai kabhī kabhī

dil kā diyā jalā ke ḳhud apne hī ḳhuun se

shab shab-bhar intizār kiyā hai kabhī kabhī

tanhā shab-e-firāq meñ tār-e-nafas ke saath

tāroñ kā bhī shumār kiyā hai kabhī kabhī

aisā bhī vaqt aayā hai aksar hayāt meñ

sar apnā sū-e-dār kiyā hai kabhī kabhī

sayyād mere tā.ir-e-dil ne qafas ko bhī

nāloñ se pur-bahār kiyā hai kabhī kabhī

phulon ko sharmsar kiya hai kabhi kabhi

kanTon se hum ne pyar kiya hai kabhi kabhi

mauquf chaak-e-jeb-e-gareban hi par nahin

daman bhi tar-tar kiya hai kabhi kabhi

main muztarib raha hun ye sach hai firaq mein

un ko bhi be-qarar kiya hai kabhi kabhi

dil ka diya jala ke KHud apne hi KHun se

shab shab-bhar intizar kiya hai kabhi kabhi

tanha shab-e-firaq mein tar-e-nafas ke sath

taron ka bhi shumar kiya hai kabhi kabhi

aisa bhi waqt aaya hai aksar hayat mein

sar apna su-e-dar kiya hai kabhi kabhi

sayyaad mere tair-e-dil ne qafas ko bhi

nalon se pur-bahaar kiya hai kabhi kabhi
