dil ki bisat kya thi nigah-e-jamal mein

dil kī bisāt kyā thī nigāh-e-jamāl meñ

ik ā.īna thā TuuT gayā dekh-bhāl meñ

duniyā kare talāsh nayā jām-e-jam koī

us kī jagah nahīñ mire jām-e-sifāl meñ

āzurda is qadar huuñ sarāb-e-ḳhayāl se

jī chāhtā hai tum bhī na aao ḳhayāl meñ

duniyā hai ḳhvāb hāsil-e-duniyā ḳhayāl hai

insān ḳhvāb dekh rahā hai ḳhayāl meñ

ahl-e-chaman hameñ na asīroñ kā ta.an deñ

vo ḳhush haiñ apne haal meñ aham apnī chaal meñ

'sīmāb' ijtihād hai husn-e-talab mirā

tarmīm chāhtā huuñ mazāq-e-jamāl meñ

dil ki bisat kya thi nigah-e-jamal mein

ek aaina tha TuT gaya dekh-bhaal mein

duniya kare talash naya jam-e-jam koi

us ki jagah nahin mere jam-e-sifal mein

aazurda is qadar hun sarab-e-KHayal se

ji chahta hai tum bhi na aao KHayal mein

duniya hai KHwab hasil-e-duniya KHayal hai

insan KHwab dekh raha hai KHayal mein

ahl-e-chaman hamein na asiron ka tan den

wo KHush hain apne haal mein aham apni chaal mein

'simab' ijtihad hai husn-e-talab mera

tarmim chahta hun mazaq-e-jamal mein
