sitamgaron ka tariq-e-jafa nahin jata
sitamgaroñ kā tarīq-e-jafā nahīñ jaatā
ki qatl karnā ho jis ko kahā nahīñ jaatā
ye kam hai kyā ki mire paas baiThā rahtā hai
vo jab talak mire dil ko dukhā nahīñ jaatā
tumheñ to shahr ke ādāb tak nahīñ aate
ziyāda kuchh yahāñ pūchhā-guchhā nahīñ jaatā
baḌe azaab meñ huuñ mujh ko jaan bhī hai aziiz
sitam ko dekh ke chup bhī rahā nahīñ jaatā
bharam sarāb-e-tamannā kā kyā khulā mujh par
ab ek gaam bhī mujh se chalā nahīñ jaatā
ajiib log haiñ dil meñ ḳhudā se munkir haiñ
magar zabān se zikr-e-ḳhudā nahīñ jaatā
uḌā ke ḳhaak bahut maiñ ne dekh lī ai 'zeb'
vahāñ talak to koī rāsta nahīñ jaatā
sitamgaron ka tariq-e-jafa nahin jata
ki qatl karna ho jis ko kaha nahin jata
ye kam hai kya ki mere pas baiTha rahta hai
wo jab talak mere dil ko dukha nahin jata
tumhein to shahr ke aadab tak nahin aate
ziyaada kuchh yahan puchha-guchha nahin jata
baDe azab mein hun mujh ko jaan bhi hai aziz
sitam ko dekh ke chup bhi raha nahin jata
bharam sarab-e-tamanna ka kya khula mujh par
ab ek gam bhi mujh se chala nahin jata
ajib log hain dil mein KHuda se munkir hain
magar zaban se zikr-e-KHuda nahin jata
uDa ke KHak bahut main ne dekh li ai 'zeb'
wahan talak to koi rasta nahin jata
