kaun sa tair-e-gum-gashta use yaad aaya

kaun sā tā.ir-e-gum-gashta use yaad aayā

dekhtā bhāltā har shāḳh ko sayyād aayā

mere qaabū meñ na pahroñ dil-e-nāshād aayā

vo mirā bhūlne vaalā jo mujhe yaad aayā

koī bhūlā huā andāz-e-sitam yaad aayā

ki tabassum tujhe zālim dam-e-be-dād aayā

laa.e haiñ log janāze kī tarah mahshar meñ

kis musībat se tirā kushta-e-bedād aayā

jazb-e-vahshat tire qurbān tirā kyā kahnā

khiñch ke rag rag meñ mire nashtar-e-fassād aayā

us ke jalve ko ġharaz kaun-o-makāñ se kyā thā

daad lene ke liye husn-e-ḳhudā-dād aayā

bastiyoñ se yahī āvāz chalī aatī hai

jo kiyā tū ne vo aage tire farhād aayā

dil-e-vīrāñ se raqīboñ ne murādeñ pā.īñ

kaam kis kis ke mirā ḳhirman-e-barbād aayā

ishq ke aate hī muñh par mire phūlī hai basant

ho gayā zard ye shāgird jab ustād aayā

ho gayā farz mujhe shauq kā daftar likhnā

jab mire haath koī ḳhāma-e-faulād aayā

iid hai qatl mirā ahl-e-tamāshā ke liye

sab gale milne lage jab ki vo jallād aayā

chain karte haiñ vahāñ ranj uThāne vaale

kaam uqbā meñ hamārā dil-e-nāshād aayā

dī shab-e-vasl mo.azzin ne azaañ pichhlī raat

haa.e kam-baḳht ko kis vaqt ḳhudā yaad aayā

mere naale ne sunā.ī hai kharī kis kis ko

muñh farishtoñ pe ye gustāḳh ye āzād aayā

ġham-e-jāved ne dī mujh ko mubārakbādī

jab sunā ye ki unheñ sheva-e-bedād aayā

maiñ tamannā-e-shahādat kā mazā bhuul gayā

aaj is shauq se armān se jallād aayā

shādiyāna jo diyā naala o shevan ne diyā

jab mulāqāt ko nāshād kī nāshād aayā

lījiye suniye ab afsāna-e-furqat mujh se

aap ne yaad dilāyā to mujhe yaad aayā

aap kī bazm meñ sab kuchh hai magar 'dāġh' nahīñ

ham ko vo ḳhāna-ḳharāb aaj bahut yaad aayā

kaun sa tair-e-gum-gashta use yaad aaya

dekhta bhaalta har shaKH ko sayyaad aaya

mere qabu mein na pahron dil-e-nashad aaya

wo mera bhulne wala jo mujhe yaad aaya

koi bhula hua andaz-e-sitam yaad aaya

ki tabassum tujhe zalim dam-e-be-dad aaya

lae hain log janaze ki tarah mahshar mein

kis musibat se tera kushta-e-bedad aaya

jazb-e-wahshat tere qurban tera kya kahna

khinch ke rag rag mein mere nashtar-e-fassad aaya

us ke jalwe ko gharaz kaun-o-makan se kya tha

dad lene ke liye husn-e-KHuda-dad aaya

bastiyon se yahi aawaz chali aati hai

jo kiya tu ne wo aage tere farhad aaya

dil-e-viran se raqibon ne muraden pain

kaam kis kis ke mera KHirman-e-barbaad aaya

ishq ke aate hi munh par mere phuli hai basant

ho gaya zard ye shagird jab ustad aaya

ho gaya farz mujhe shauq ka daftar likhna

jab mere hath koi KHama-e-faulad aaya

id hai qatl mera ahl-e-tamasha ke liye

sab gale milne lage jab ki wo jallad aaya

chain karte hain wahan ranj uThane wale

kaam uqba mein hamara dil-e-nashad aaya

di shab-e-wasl moazzin ne azan pichhli raat

hae kam-baKHt ko kis waqt KHuda yaad aaya

mere nale ne sunai hai khari kis kis ko

munh farishton pe ye gustaKH ye aazad aaya

gham-e-jawed ne di mujh ko mubarakbaadi

jab suna ye ki unhen shewa-e-bedad aaya

main tamanna-e-shahadat ka maza bhul gaya

aaj is shauq se arman se jallad aaya

shadiyana jo diya nala o shewan ne diya

jab mulaqat ko nashad ki nashad aaya

lijiye suniye ab afsana-e-furqat mujh se

aap ne yaad dilaya to mujhe yaad aaya

aap ki bazm mein sab kuchh hai magar 'dagh' nahin

hum ko wo KHana-KHarab aaj bahut yaad aaya
