tere suluk-e-taghaful se ho ke saudai

tire sulūk-e-taġhāful se ho ke saudā.ī

chalā huuñ maiñ to kuchh aage chalī hai rusvā.ī

nayā nayā hai abhī jazba-e-ḳhud-ārā.ī

ḳhudā kare ki na aa.e ḳhayāl-e-yaktā.ī

tabī.atoñ meñ baḌā iḳhtilāf hotā hai

mujhe to arz-e-tamannā pe sharm sī aa.ī

hayāt-e-ishq ke ye pech o ḳham nasheb o farāz

inhīñ kā naam hai shāyad kisī kī añgḌā.ī

jo aaj zikr chalā āstīñ ke sāñpoñ kā

to mujh ko apne ka.ī dostoñ kī yaad aa.ī

tumhārī yaad ko rah rah ke gher laatī hai

mah o nujūm kī tābish guloñ kī rānā.ī

talab kī maut samajhiye rah-e-talab meñ qayām

baḌā ġhalat hai taqāzā-e-ābla-pā.ī

tamām umr meñ pahuñchā huuñ is natīje par

nashāt-e-bazm se behtar hai dard-e-tanhā.ī

vo ibtidā-e-mohabbat kī guftugū 'mahshar'

bajā rahā ho koī duur jaise shahnā.ī

tere suluk-e-taghaful se ho ke saudai

chala hun main to kuchh aage chali hai ruswai

naya naya hai abhi jazba-e-KHud-arai

KHuda kare ki na aae KHayal-e-yaktai

tabiaton mein baDa iKHtilaf hota hai

mujhe to arz-e-tamanna pe sharm si aai

hayat-e-ishq ke ye pech o KHam nasheb o faraaz

inhin ka nam hai shayad kisi ki angDai

jo aaj zikr chala aastin ke sanpon ka

to mujh ko apne kai doston ki yaad aai

tumhaari yaad ko rah rah ke gher lati hai

mah o nujum ki tabish gulon ki ranai

talab ki maut samajhiye rah-e-talab mein qayam

baDa ghalat hai taqaza-e-abla-pai

tamam umr mein pahuncha hun is natije par

nashat-e-bazm se behtar hai dard-e-tanhai

wo ibtida-e-mohabbat ki guftugu 'mahshar'

baja raha ho koi dur jaise shahnai
