main ki tanha etibar-e-zat khone se hua
maiñ ki tanhā e'tibār-e-zāt khone se huā
jo huā vo dil meñ shak kā biij bone se huā
ik zarā se dāġh-e-rusvā.ī kā itnā phailnā
aisā dāman ko kisī jaldī meñ dhone se huā
maiñ ne dekhā hai chaman se ruḳhsat-e-gul kā samāñ
sab se pahle rañg maddham ek kone se huā
maiñ hī bantā huuñ fasād-e-āb-o-gil kā har sabab
kis qadar nuqsān merā mere hone se huā
ek hañgāma huā jo raat ke aivān meñ
raushnī kā ḳhār-e-zulmat meñ chubhone se huā
kyā batā.ūñ kis tarah jaatā rahā zād-e-safar
ye ziyāñ bas ek pal raste meñ sone se huā
sar pe hī rahtā agar to sar kā bachnā thā muhāl
bojh merā kam ise har aan dhone se huā
zindagī ghistī rahī 'shāhīñ' basar hone ke saath
pairahan kā rañg phīkā roz dhone se huā
main ki tanha e'tibar-e-zat khone se hua
jo hua wo dil mein shak ka bij bone se hua
ek zara se dagh-e-ruswai ka itna phailna
aisa daman ko kisi jaldi mein dhone se hua
main ne dekha hai chaman se ruKHsat-e-gul ka saman
sab se pahle rang maddham ek kone se hua
main hi banta hun fasad-e-ab-o-gil ka har sabab
kis qadar nuqsan mera mere hone se hua
ek hangama hua jo raat ke aiwan mein
raushni ka KHar-e-zulmat mein chubhone se hua
kya bataun kis tarah jata raha zad-e-safar
ye ziyan bas ek pal raste mein sone se hua
sar pe hi rahta agar to sar ka bachna tha muhaal
bojh mera kam ise har aan dhone se hua
zindagi ghisti rahi 'shahin' basar hone ke sath
pairahan ka rang phika roz dhone se hua
