ruKH zulf mein be-naqab dekha

ruḳh zulf meñ be-naqāb dekhā

maiñ tīra-shab āftāb dekhā

mahrūm hai nāma-dār-e-duniyā

paanī se tahī habāb dekhā

surḳhī se tire laboñ kī ham ne

ātish ko miyān-e-āb dekhā

qāsid kā sar aayā us galī se

naame kā mire javāb dekhā

jaanā ye ham ne vafāt ke ba.ad

dekhā jo jahāñ meñ ḳhvāb dekhā

aafat kā nishāna ho chukā thā

maiñ dil kī taraf shitāb dekhā

ik vaz.a nahīñ mizāj-e-ma.ashūq

gah lutf o gahe itaab dekhā

āñkhoñ se bahāreñ guzrīñ kyā kyā

kis kis kā na maiñ shabāb dekhā

kal mai-kade meñ baġhair saaqī

auñdhā qadah-e-sharāb dekhā

kiiñ us ne jafā.eñ be-hisābī

ik din na kabhū hisāb dekhā

siine se nikal paḌā na āḳhir

dil kā mire iztirāb dekhā

kyā hogī falāh ba.ad-e-murdan

jiite to sadā azaab dekhā

ābādī hai us kī 'mus.hafī' kam

aalam ke ta.iiñ ḳharāb dekhā

ruKH zulf mein be-naqab dekha

main tira-shab aaftab dekha

mahrum hai nama-dar-e-duniya

pani se tahi habab dekha

surKHi se tere labon ki hum ne

aatish ko miyan-e-ab dekha

qasid ka sar aaya us gali se

name ka mere jawab dekha

jaana ye hum ne wafat ke baad

dekha jo jahan mein KHwab dekha

aafat ka nishana ho chuka tha

main dil ki taraf shitab dekha

ek waza nahin mizaj-e-mashuq

gah lutf o gahe itab dekha

aankhon se bahaaren guzrin kya kya

kis kis ka na main shabab dekha

kal mai-kade mein baghair saqi

aundha qadah-e-sharab dekha

kin us ne jafaen be-hisabi

ek din na kabhu hisab dekha

sine se nikal paDa na aaKHir

dil ka mere iztirab dekha

kya hogi falah baad-e-murdan

jite to sada azab dekha

aabaadi hai us ki 'mushafi' kam

aalam ke tain KHarab dekha
