faqat mal-o-zar-e-diwar-o-dar achchha nahin lagta
faqat māl-o-zar-e-dīvār-o-dar achchhā nahīñ lagtā
jahāñ bachche nahīñ hote vo ghar achchhā nahīñ lagtā
mire dukh tak mire ḳhuuñ aur pasīne kī kamā.ī haiñ
tumheñ kyuuñ merī mehnat kā samar achchhā nahīñ lagtā
shikasta satr chāhe rañg-o-bū-e-pairahan Thahre
kisī sūrat mujhe ijz-e-hunar achchhā nahīñ lagtā
mayassar ho na jab tak bū-e-tāza-tar kī hamrāhī
havā kī tarah galiyoñ se guzar achchhā nahīñ lagtā
rah-e-tesha-talab terī maiñ vo dīvār huuñ jis ko
na ho shorīdgī jis meñ vo sar achchhā nahīñ lagtā
galī meñ khelte bachchoñ ke hāthoñ kā maiñ patthar huuñ
mujhe is sahn kā ḳhālī shajar achchhā nahīñ lagtā
chamaktā huuñ har ik mahtāb-rū ke rū-e-raushan meñ
maiñ sūraj huuñ mujhe shab kā safar achchhā nahīñ lagtā
jise dekheñ vahī phir dekhne kī aarzū Thahre
jise chāheñ vahī bār-e-digar achchhā nahīñ lagtā
isī ḳhātir use 'tābish' uchaknā chāhtā huuñ maiñ
mujhe tālāb kī tah meñ qamar achchhā nahīñ lagtā
faqat mal-o-zar-e-diwar-o-dar achchha nahin lagta
jahan bachche nahin hote wo ghar achchha nahin lagta
mere dukh tak mere KHun aur pasine ki kamai hain
tumhein kyun meri mehnat ka samar achchha nahin lagta
shikasta satr chahe rang-o-bu-e-pairahan Thahre
kisi surat mujhe ijz-e-hunar achchha nahin lagta
mayassar ho na jab tak bu-e-taza-tar ki hamrahi
hawa ki tarah galiyon se guzar achchha nahin lagta
rah-e-tesha-talab teri main wo diwar hun jis ko
na ho shoridgi jis mein wo sar achchha nahin lagta
gali mein khelte bachchon ke hathon ka main patthar hun
mujhe is sahn ka KHali shajar achchha nahin lagta
chamakta hun har ek mahtab-ru ke ru-e-raushan mein
main suraj hun mujhe shab ka safar achchha nahin lagta
jise dekhen wahi phir dekhne ki aarzu Thahre
jise chahen wahi bar-e-digar achchha nahin lagta
isi KHatir use 'tabish' uchakna chahta hun main
mujhe talab ki tah mein qamar achchha nahin lagta
