ye nikhaton ki narm-rawi ye hawa ye raat
ye nik.hatoñ kī narm-ravī ye havā ye raat
yaad aa rahe haiñ ishq ko TuuTe ta.alluqāt
māyūsiyoñ kī god meñ dam toḌtā hai ishq
ab bhī koī banā le to bigḌī nahīñ hai baat
kuchh aur bhī to ho in ishārāt ke sivā
ye sab to ai nigāh-e-karam baat baat baat
ik umr kaT ga.ī hai tire intizār meñ
aise bhī haiñ ki kaT na sakī jin se ek raat
ham ahl-e-intizār ke aahaT pe kaan the
ThanDī havā thī ġham thā tirā Dhal chalī thī raat
yuuñ to bachī bachī sī uThī vo nigāh-e-nāz
duniyā-e-dil meñ ho hī ga.ī koī vārdāt
jin kā surāġh pā na sakī ġham kī ruuh bhī
nādāñ hue haiñ ishq meñ aise bhī sānehāt
har sa.ī o har amal meñ mohabbat kā haath hai
ta.amīr-e-zindagī ke samajh kuchh muharrikāt
us jā tirī nigāh mujhe le ga.ī jahāñ
letī ho jaise saañs ye be-jān kā.enāt
kyā niiñd aa.e us ko jise jāgnā na aa.e
jo din ko din kare vo kare raat ko bhī raat
dariyā ke madd-o-jazr bhī paanī ke khel haiñ
hastī hī ke karishme haiñ kyā maut kyā hayāt
ahl-e-razā meñ shān-e-baġhāvat bhī ho zarā
itnī bhī zindagī na ho pāband-e-rasmiyāt
ham ahl-e-ġham ne rañg-e-zamāna badal diyā
koshish to kī sabhī ne magar ban paḌe kī baat
paidā kare zamīn na.ī āsmāñ nayā
itnā to le koī asar-e-daur-kā.enāt
shā.ir huuñ gahrī niiñd meñ haiñ jo haqīqateñ
chauñkā rahe haiñ un ko bhī mere tavahhumāt
mujh ko to ġham ne fursat-e-ġham bhī na dī 'firāq'
de fursat-e-hayāt na jaise ġham-e-hayāt
ye nikhaton ki narm-rawi ye hawa ye raat
yaad aa rahe hain ishq ko TuTe talluqat
mayusiyon ki god mein dam toDta hai ishq
ab bhi koi bana le to bigDi nahin hai baat
kuchh aur bhi to ho in ishaaraat ke siwa
ye sab to ai nigah-e-karam baat baat baat
ek umr kaT gai hai tere intizar mein
aise bhi hain ki kaT na saki jin se ek raat
hum ahl-e-intizar ke aahaT pe kan the
ThanDi hawa thi gham tha tera Dhal chali thi raat
yun to bachi bachi si uThi wo nigah-e-naz
duniya-e-dil mein ho hi gai koi wardat
jin ka suragh pa na saki gham ki ruh bhi
nadan hue hain ishq mein aise bhi sanehat
har sai o har amal mein mohabbat ka hath hai
tamir-e-zindagi ke samajh kuchh muharrikat
us ja teri nigah mujhe le gai jahan
leti ho jaise sans ye be-jaan kaenat
kya nind aae us ko jise jagna na aae
jo din ko din kare wo kare raat ko bhi raat
dariya ke madd-o-jazr bhi pani ke khel hain
hasti hi ke karishme hain kya maut kya hayat
ahl-e-raza mein shan-e-baghawat bhi ho zara
itni bhi zindagi na ho paband-e-rasmiyat
hum ahl-e-gham ne rang-e-zamana badal diya
koshish to ki sabhi ne magar ban paDe ki baat
paida kare zamin nai aasman naya
itna to le koi asar-e-daur-kaenat
shair hun gahri nind mein hain jo haqiqaten
chaunka rahe hain un ko bhi mere tawahhumat
mujh ko to gham ne fursat-e-gham bhi na di 'firaq'
de fursat-e-hayat na jaise gham-e-hayat
