use kya raat din jo talib-e-didar phirte hain

use kyā raat din jo tālib-e-dīdār phirte haiñ

ġharaz hai to ġharaz ke vāste sau baar phirte haiñ

idhar dekho bhalā ham ko zamāna kyā nahīñ kahtā

to kyā har ek se karte hue takrār phirte haiñ

jo ab vahshat nahīñ bhī hai to apnī chaal kyuuñ chhoḌeñ

jidhar jī chāhe din-bhar rāt-bhar be-kār phirte haiñ

tirī ḳhātir mohabbat ho ga.ī hai dil kī vahshat se

hameñ āvāra-pan par aa gayā hai pyaar phirte haiñ

taḌapne lūTne kī aaj un tak bhī ḳhabar pahuñchī

mujhe badnām karne ko mire ġham-ḳhvār phirte haiñ

use ham mānte haiñ to zamāne-bhar se achchhā hai

magar achchhe bhī apne qaul se ai yaar phirte haiñ

samajhte haiñ samajhne vaale us ko bhī riyā-kārī

galī-kūchoñ meñ kyuuñ tere sitam-bardār phirte haiñ

tumheñ afsos kyuuñ hai āshiqoñ kī kūcha-gardī par

phirātā hai muqaddar ye ḳhudā.ī ḳhaar phirte haiñ

kahīñ aisā na ho ik roz tum bhī ham se phir jaao

yahāñ pahle hī apnī jaan se bezār phirte haiñ

vo dil kī aarzū ab hai na us kī justujū ab hai

hamāre paañv meñ chakkar hai ham be-kār phirte haiñ

kisī kāfir kā ghar thā yā nahīñ ma.alūm jannat thī

abhī tak merī āñkhoñ meñ dar-o-dīvār phirte haiñ

zamāne se nirālā hai chalan in husn vāloñ kā

laqab to qātil-e-ālam hai be-talvār phirte haiñ

safī' ko tum ne to koī baḌā pahuñchā huā samjhā

ajī rahne bhī do aise bahut makkār phirte haiñ

use kya raat din jo talib-e-didar phirte hain

gharaz hai to gharaz ke waste sau bar phirte hain

idhar dekho bhala hum ko zamana kya nahin kahta

to kya har ek se karte hue takrar phirte hain

jo ab wahshat nahin bhi hai to apni chaal kyun chhoDen

jidhar ji chahe din-bhar raat-bhar be-kar phirte hain

teri KHatir mohabbat ho gai hai dil ki wahshat se

hamein aawara-pan par aa gaya hai pyar phirte hain

taDapne luTne ki aaj un tak bhi KHabar pahunchi

mujhe badnam karne ko mere gham-KHwar phirte hain

use hum mante hain to zamane-bhar se achchha hai

magar achchhe bhi apne qaul se ai yar phirte hain

samajhte hain samajhne wale us ko bhi riya-kari

gali-kuchon mein kyun tere sitam-bardar phirte hain

tumhein afsos kyun hai aashiqon ki kucha-gardi par

phiraata hai muqaddar ye KHudai KHar phirte hain

kahin aisa na ho ek roz tum bhi hum se phir jao

yahan pahle hi apni jaan se bezar phirte hain

wo dil ki aarzu ab hai na us ki justuju ab hai

hamare panw mein chakkar hai hum be-kar phirte hain

kisi kafir ka ghar tha ya nahin malum jannat thi

abhi tak meri aankhon mein dar-o-diwar phirte hain

zamane se nirala hai chalan in husn walon ka

laqab to qatil-e-alam hai be-talwar phirte hain

safi' ko tum ne to koi baDa pahuncha hua samjha

aji rahne bhi do aise bahut makkar phirte hain
