is qadar aap ka itab rahe
is qadar aap kā itaab rahe
dil ko mere na iztirāb rahe
na paTī un se pyaar kī mīzān
haañ magar rañj be-hisāb rahe
yuuñ shab-e-vasl kā hai aalam yaad
jaise barsoñ kī yaad ḳhvāb rahe
hāl-e-dil sun ke bol uThā qāsid
yaad kis ko ye sab kitāb rahe
muntazir huuñ kisī ke aane kā
kis kī āñkhoñ meñ aa ke ḳhvāb rahe
sub.h ke is hijāb ne maarā
raat bhar aise be-hijāb rahe
ġhair kā muñh aur aap se bāteñ
aisī bātoñ se ijtināb rahe
ham bhī mar kar azaab se chhūTe
aap bhī dāḳhil-e-savāb rahe
haa.e vo din ḳhudā na laa.e yaad
ham se rūThe jo kuchh janāb rahe
bahr-e-hastī se kuuch hai darpesh
yaad mansūba-e-hubāb rahe
ek dam kā yahāñ tavaqquf hai
ḳhema be-chob be-tanāb rahe
kuchh na ban aa.ī us ke aage 'nizām'
do hī bātoñ meñ lā-javāb rahe
is qadar aap ka itab rahe
dil ko mere na iztirab rahe
na paTi un se pyar ki mizan
han magar ranj be-hisab rahe
yun shab-e-wasl ka hai aalam yaad
jaise barson ki yaad KHwab rahe
haal-e-dil sun ke bol uTha qasid
yaad kis ko ye sab kitab rahe
muntazir hun kisi ke aane ka
kis ki aankhon mein aa ke KHwab rahe
subh ke is hijab ne mara
raat bhar aise be-hijab rahe
ghair ka munh aur aap se baaten
aisi baaton se ijtinab rahe
hum bhi mar kar azab se chhuTe
aap bhi daKHil-e-sawab rahe
hae wo din KHuda na lae yaad
hum se ruThe jo kuchh janab rahe
bahr-e-hasti se kuch hai darpesh
yaad mansuba-e-hubab rahe
ek dam ka yahan tawaqquf hai
KHema be-chob be-tanab rahe
kuchh na ban aai us ke aage 'nizam'
do hi baaton mein la-jawab rahe
