apna sa shauq auron mein laen kahan se hum

apnā sā shauq auroñ meñ laa.eñ kahāñ se ham

ghabrā ga.e haiñ be-dili-e-hamrahāñ se ham

kuchh aisī duur bhī to nahīñ manzil-e-murād

lekin ye jab ki chhūT chaleñ kārvāñ se ham

ai yād-e-yār dekh ki bā-vasf-e-ranj-e-hijr

masrūr haiñ tirī ḳhalish-e-nā-tavāñ se ham

mālūm sab hai pūchhte ho phir bhī mudda.ā

ab tum se dil kī baat kaheñ kyā zabāñ se ham

ai zohd-e-ḳhushk terī hidāyat ke vāste

sauġhāt-e-ishq laa.e haiñ kū-e-butāñ se ham

betābiyoñ se chhup na sakā hāl-e-ārzū

āḳhir bache na us nigah-e-bad-gumāñ se ham

pīrāna-sar bhī shauq kī himmat buland hai

ḳhvāhān-e-kām-e-jāñ haiñ jo us naujavāñ se ham

māyūs bhī to karte nahīñ tum za-rāh-e-nāz

tañg aa ga.e haiñ kashmakash-e-imtihāñ se ham

ḳhalvat banegī tere ġham-e-jāñ-navāz kī

leñge ye kaam apne dil-e-shādmāñ se ham

hai intihā-e-yās bhī ik ibtidā-e-shauq

phir aa ga.e vahīñ pe chale the jahāñ se ham

'hasrat' phir aur jā ke kareñ kis kī bandagī

achchhā jo sar uThā.eñ bhī is āstāñ se ham

apna sa shauq auron mein laen kahan se hum

ghabra gae hain be-dili-e-hamrahan se hum

kuchh aisi dur bhi to nahin manzil-e-murad

lekin ye jab ki chhuT chalen karwan se hum

ai yaad-e-yar dekh ki ba-wasf-e-ranj-e-hijr

masrur hain teri KHalish-e-na-tawan se hum

malum sab hai puchhte ho phir bhi muddaa

ab tum se dil ki baat kahen kya zaban se hum

ai zohd-e-KHushk teri hidayat ke waste

saughat-e-ishq lae hain ku-e-butan se hum

betabiyon se chhup na saka haal-e-arzu

aaKHir bache na us nigah-e-bad-guman se hum

pirana-sar bhi shauq ki himmat buland hai

KHwahan-e-kaam-e-jaan hain jo us naujawan se hum

mayus bhi to karte nahin tum za-rah-e-naz

tang aa gae hain kashmakash-e-imtihan se hum

KHalwat banegi tere gham-e-jaan-nawaz ki

lenge ye kaam apne dil-e-shadman se hum

hai intiha-e-yas bhi ek ibtida-e-shauq

phir aa gae wahin pe chale the jahan se hum

'hasrat' phir aur ja ke karen kis ki bandagi

achchha jo sar uThaen bhi is aastan se hum
