silsila KHwabon ka

kitnī dilkash haiñ tire āriz-o-lab kī yādeñ

kis qadar tauba-shikan hai tirī zulfoñ kā ḳhayāl

kitnā pur-kaif tasavvur hai tirī āñkhoñ kā

taab kis ko hai jo dekhe tirī qāmat kā jamāl

taab kis ko hai jo dekhe tirī qāmat kā jamāl

tujh ko ik phuul kahūñ chāñd kahūñ ḳhvāb kahūñ

zehn-e-shā.ir meñ ba-yak-vaqt ye ubhre haiñ savāl

tere chehre ko sabhī ek kañval kahte haiñ

aur ham tujh ko sarāpā-e-ġhazal kahte haiñ

mere jazbāt farāvāñ mire zaḳhmoñ ke nishāñ

terī duzdīda-nigāhī kā gila karte haiñ

har ghaḌī phuul damakte hue ruḳhsāroñ ke

mere ehsās ke gulshan meñ khilā karte haiñ

kyā batā.ūñ tujhe apne dil-e-betāb kā haal

kitne dīpak mire siine meñ jalā karte haiñ

be-niyāz-e-ġham-e-ayyām mire zehn-o-nazar

gum sarāb-e-lab-o-āriz meñ rahā karte haiñ

tirī āvāz ke sho.aloñ meñ sahar jaltī hai

muskurāhaT meñ tirī barq-e-tapāñ paltī hai

lekin ai jān-e-suḳhan tujh ko ḳhabar hai ki nahīñ

mere kāshāna-e-ġhurbat pe nazar hai ki nahīñ

tū ki parvarda-e-āġhosh-e-nasīm-e-gulshan

jism-e-sīmīñ pe ye zartār tire pairāhan

garm jhoñkoñ kī ināyat se bacheñge kab tak

ḳhār-zār-e-ġham-e-hastī meñ raheñge kab tak

mutrib-e-vaqt kahīñ chheḌ na de talḳh ġhazal

Dar hai mismār na ho jaa.e ye naġhmoñ kā mahal

jān-e-jāñ silsila ḳhvāboñ kā kahīñ TuuT na jaa.e

tere hāthoñ se kahīñ jām-e-vafā chhūT na jaa.e

kitni dilkash hain tere aariz-o-lab ki yaaden

kis qadar tauba-shikan hai teri zulfon ka KHayal

kitna pur-kaif tasawwur hai teri aankhon ka

tab kis ko hai jo dekhe teri qamat ka jamal

tab kis ko hai jo dekhe teri qamat ka jamal

tujh ko ek phul kahun chand kahun KHwab kahun

zehn-e-shair mein ba-yak-waqt ye ubhre hain sawal

tere chehre ko sabhi ek kanwal kahte hain

aur hum tujh ko sarapa-e-ghazal kahte hain

mere jazbaat farawan mere zaKHmon ke nishan

teri duzdida-nigahi ka gila karte hain

har ghaDi phul damakte hue ruKHsaron ke

mere ehsas ke gulshan mein khila karte hain

kya bataun tujhe apne dil-e-betab ka haal

kitne dipak mere sine mein jala karte hain

be-niyaz-e-gham-e-ayyam mere zehn-o-nazar

gum sarab-e-lab-o-ariz mein raha karte hain

teri aawaz ke shoalon mein sahar jalti hai

muskurahaT mein teri barq-e-tapan palti hai

lekin ai jaan-e-suKHan tujh ko KHabar hai ki nahin

mere kashana-e-ghurbat pe nazar hai ki nahin

tu ki parwarda-e-aghosh-e-nasim-e-gulshan

jism-e-simin pe ye zartar tere pairahan

garm jhonkon ki inayat se bachenge kab tak

KHar-zar-e-gham-e-hasti mein rahenge kab tak

mutrib-e-waqt kahin chheD na de talKH ghazal

Dar hai mismar na ho jae ye naghmon ka mahal

jaan-e-jaan silsila KHwabon ka kahin TuT na jae

tere hathon se kahin jam-e-wafa chhuT na jae
