jis vaqt nazar paḌtī hai us shoḳh pe 'taskīñ'

kyā kahiye ki jī meñ mere kyā kyā nahīñ hotā

jis waqt nazar paDti hai us shoKH pe 'taskin'

kya kahiye ki ji mein mere kya kya nahin hota

kartā huuñ terī zulf se dil kā mubādala

har-chand jāntā huuñ ye saudā burā nahīñ

karta hun teri zulf se dil ka mubaadala

har-chand jaanta hun ye sauda bura nahin

pūchhe jo tujh se koī ki 'taskīñ' se kyuuñ milā

kah diijo haal dekh ke rahm aa gayā mujhe

puchhe jo tujh se koi ki 'taskin' se kyun mila

kah dijo haal dekh ke rahm aa gaya mujhe

qāsid aayā hai vahāñ se tū zarā tham to sahī

baat to karne de us se dil-e-betāb mujhe

qasid aaya hai wahan se tu zara tham to sahi

baat to karne de us se dil-e-betab mujhe

'taskīñ' ne naam le ke tirā vaqt-e-marg aah

kyā jaane kyā kahā thā kisī ne sunā nahīñ

'taskin' ne nam le ke tera waqt-e-marg aah

kya jaane kya kaha tha kisi ne suna nahin
