jo KHuda ko apne maine kisi waqt bhi pukara

jo ḳhudā ko apne maiñ ne kisī vaqt bhī pukārā

to kisī kā kyā hai sājhā to kisī kā kyā ijārā

mujhe zaḳhmī karte karte huā zaḳhmī aap zālim

baḌī mushkiloñ se maiñ ne abhī maarā hai phaTārā

hai ḳhudā ke zikr meñ bhī tujhe is qadar takalluf

ye umūr-e-ḳhair meñ bhī are vaa.iz istiḳhārā

koī bāni-e-jafā hai koī bānī-e-vafā hai

mazā dekhnā hai kyā ho hai muqābla karārā

zarā ik jhalak idhar bhī zarā ik jhalak udhar bhī

rahe ta-ba-hashr qaa.em tire husn kā idāra

baḌe hausle the pahle baḌe valvale the pahle

jo amal kā vaqt aayā hue aap nau-do-gyārā

thī hamārī jitnī daulat use luuT le ga.e but

ye batā rahe haiñ ham ko vo dikhā ke goshvārā

ye na.ī na.ī jafā.eñ ye na.e na.e mazālim

jo ḳhalish hai vo doshīza jo laqab hai vo kañvārā

ye chaman pe chhā gayā hai mire maalī kā talavvun

ki badal rahā hai cholā shab o roz ab nazārā

abhī kūche kūche baaqī asar-darindagī hai

ki zamāna kar rahā hai abhī ḳhuun kā ġharārā

tirī dil-shikan nazar ne kiyā past hausloñ ko

lagā ḳhuun thūkne vo jo zarā sā bhī khañkārā

bhalā 'shauq' dekhūñ kyūñkar ruḳh-e-pur-shikan kā manzar

mire daañt hī kahāñ haiñ jo maiñ khā sakūñ chhuārā

jo KHuda ko apne main ne kisi waqt bhi pukara

to kisi ka kya hai sajha to kisi ka kya ijara

mujhe zaKHmi karte karte hua zaKHmi aap zalim

baDi mushkilon se main ne abhi mara hai phaTara

hai KHuda ke zikr mein bhi tujhe is qadar takalluf

ye umur-e-KHair mein bhi are waiz istiKHara

koi bani-e-jafa hai koi bani-e-wafa hai

maza dekhna hai kya ho hai muqabla karara

zara ek jhalak idhar bhi zara ek jhalak udhar bhi

rahe ta-ba-hashr qaem tere husn ka idara

baDe hausle the pahle baDe walwale the pahle

jo amal ka waqt aaya hue aap nau-do-gyara

thi hamari jitni daulat use luT le gae but

ye bata rahe hain hum ko wo dikha ke goshwara

ye nai nai jafaen ye nae nae mazalim

jo KHalish hai wo doshiza jo laqab hai wo kanwara

ye chaman pe chha gaya hai mere mali ka talawwun

ki badal raha hai chola shab o roz ab nazara

abhi kuche kuche baqi asar-darindagi hai

ki zamana kar raha hai abhi KHun ka gharara

teri dil-shikan nazar ne kiya past hauslon ko

laga KHun thukne wo jo zara sa bhi khankara

bhala 'shauq' dekhun kyunkar ruKH-e-pur-shikan ka manzar

mere dant hi kahan hain jo main kha sakun chhuara
