qatl-e-ashiq kisi mashuq se kuchh dur na tha
qatl-e-āshiq kisī ma.ashūq se kuchh duur na thā
par tire ahd se aage to ye dastūr na thā
raat majlis meñ tire husn ke sho.ale ke huzūr
sham.a ke muñh pe jo dekhā to kahīñ nuur na thā
zikr merā hī vo kartā thā sarīhan lekin
maiñ ne pūchhā to kahā ḳhair ye mazkūr na thā
bāvajūde ki par-o-bāl na the aadam ke
vahāñ pahuñchā ki farishte kā bhī maqdūr na thā
parvarish ġham kī tire yaañ ta.iiñ to kī dekhā
koī bhī daaġh thā siine meñ ki nāsūr na thā
mohtasib aaj to mai-ḳhāne meñ tere hāthoñ
dil na thā koī ki shīshe kī tarah chuur na thā
'dard' ke milne se ai yaar burā kyuuñ maanā
us ko kuchh aur sivā diid ke manzūr na thā
qatl-e-ashiq kisi mashuq se kuchh dur na tha
par tere ahd se aage to ye dastur na tha
raat majlis mein tere husn ke shoale ke huzur
shama ke munh pe jo dekha to kahin nur na tha
zikr mera hi wo karta tha sarihan lekin
main ne puchha to kaha KHair ye mazkur na tha
bawajude ki par-o-baal na the aadam ke
wahan pahuncha ki farishte ka bhi maqdur na tha
parwarish gham ki tere yan tain to ki dekha
koi bhi dagh tha sine mein ki nasur na tha
mohtasib aaj to mai-KHane mein tere hathon
dil na tha koi ki shishe ki tarah chur na tha
'dard' ke milne se ai yar bura kyun mana
us ko kuchh aur siwa did ke manzur na tha
