baja hai ab to karam mein koi kalam nahin
bajā hai ab to karam meñ koī kalām nahīñ
nigāh-e-ḳhās hai mujh par nigāh-e-ām nahīñ
bujhe bujhe se haiñ lail-o-nahār ke fānūs
ziyā-e-mehr nahīñ hai mah-e-tamām nahīñ
nahīñ hai jis meñ tire zulf-o-ruḳh kī parchhā.īñ
vo sub.h sub.h nahīñ hai vo shaam shaam nahīñ
na ham ko jur.at-e-tahrīr-e-shauq hai na unheñ
kisī taraf se koī nāma-o-payām nahīñ
vo baat jo nigah-e-mubtalā ne keh Daalī
vo ek baat hī kyā hāsil-e-kalām nahīñ
haiñ laakh band-e-salāsil ke baa'd bhī āzād
asīr-e-zulf haiñ tere asīr-e-dām nahīñ
sunā.eñ kaise dam-e-naz’ apnā afsānā
nafas tamām fasāna abhī tamām nahīñ
tamām 'ālam-e-tā'mīr kaañp uTThegā
shikast-e-dil hai ye saaqī shikast-e-jām nahīñ
numūd-o-nām kā ehsās ḳhaam hai 'parvāz'
mire kalām kā hāsil numūd-o-nām nahīñ
baja hai ab to karam mein koi kalam nahin
nigah-e-KHas hai mujh par nigah-e-am nahin
bujhe bujhe se hain lail-o-nahaar ke fanus
ziya-e-mehr nahin hai mah-e-tamam nahin
nahin hai jis mein tere zulf-o-ruKH ki parchhain
wo subh subh nahin hai wo sham sham nahin
na hum ko jurat-e-tahrir-e-shauq hai na unhen
kisi taraf se koi nama-o-payam nahin
wo baat jo nigah-e-mubtala ne keh Dali
wo ek baat hi kya hasil-e-kalam nahin
hain lakh band-e-salasil ke ba'd bhi aazad
asir-e-zulf hain tere asir-e-dam nahin
sunaen kaise dam-e-naz’ apna afsana
nafas tamam fasana abhi tamam nahin
tamam 'alam-e-ta'mir kanp uTThega
shikast-e-dil hai ye saqi shikast-e-jam nahin
numud-o-nam ka ehsas KHam hai 'parwaz'
mere kalam ka hasil numud-o-nam nahin
