talKHi-e-gham mere ehsas ka sarmaya hai

talḳhī-e-ġham mire ehsās kā sarmāyā hai

husn se maiñ ne ye in.ām-e-vafā paayā hai

jab kabhī ishrat-e-rafta kā ḳhayāl aayā hai

maiñ nai pahroñ dil-e-be-tāb ko samjhāyā hai

haa.e ye be-ḳhudī ishq ko ma.alūm nahīñ

kaun aayā hai kab aayā hai kahāñ aayā hai

dil ko sīmāb sifat kah ke guzarne vaale

ḳhud pe taḌpā hai ki tū ne use taḌpāyā hai

kāfir-e-ishq na samjhūñ to use kyā samjhūñ

mere iḳhlās ko ik dost ne Thukrāyā hai

apnī is haar ko maiñ jiit na kyuuñ kar samjhūñ

ḳhud ko khoyā hai to ai dost tujhe paayā hai

tum mire hāl-e-pareshāñ pe na tanqīd karo

tum ne dāman kabhī kāñToñ meñ bhī uljhāyā hai

manzil-e-dil bhī vahī kū-e-malāmat bhī vahī

ishq kā jazba-e-be-tāb kahāñ laayā hai

aañkh jhapkegī to shīrāza bikhar jā.egā

kis kī āvāz thī jis ne mujhe chauñkāyā hai

jis ko kahte haiñ ġhazal us kī badaulat hī 'urūj'

ruḳh-e-urdu pe ye rañg aur nikhār aayā hai

talKHi-e-gham mere ehsas ka sarmaya hai

husn se main ne ye inam-e-wafa paya hai

jab kabhi ishrat-e-rafta ka KHayal aaya hai

main nai pahron dil-e-be-tab ko samjhaya hai

hae ye be-KHudi ishq ko malum nahin

kaun aaya hai kab aaya hai kahan aaya hai

dil ko simab sifat kah ke guzarne wale

KHud pe taDpa hai ki tu ne use taDpaya hai

kafir-e-ishq na samjhun to use kya samjhun

mere iKHlas ko ek dost ne Thukraya hai

apni is haar ko main jit na kyun kar samjhun

KHud ko khoya hai to ai dost tujhe paya hai

tum mere haal-e-pareshan pe na tanqid karo

tum ne daman kabhi kanTon mein bhi uljhaya hai

manzil-e-dil bhi wahi ku-e-malamat bhi wahi

ishq ka jazba-e-be-tab kahan laya hai

aankh jhapkegi to shiraaza bikhar jaega

kis ki aawaz thi jis ne mujhe chaunkaya hai

jis ko kahte hain ghazal us ki badaulat hi 'uruj'

ruKH-e-urdu pe ye rang aur nikhaar aaya hai
