na dil apna na gham apna na koi gham-gusar apna

na dil apnā na ġham apnā na koī ġham-gusār apnā

ham apnā jānte har chiiz ko hotā jo yaar apnā

jame kis tarah is hairat-kade meñ e'tibār apnā

na dil apnā na jaan apnī na ham apne na yaar apnā

haqīqat meñ hamīñ ko jab nahīñ ḳhud e'tibār apnā

ġhalat samjhī agar samjhī hai tan ko jān-e-zār apnā

kahīñ hai daam armāñ kā kahīñ daane ummīdoñ ke

ajal kartī hai kis kis ghaat se ham ko shikār apnā

ilāhī ḳhair ho ab ke bahār-e-bāġh ne phir bhī

jamāyā be-tarah bulbul ke dil par e'tibār apnā

jo mai ko Dhaal bhī leñ ham to saaqī ke ishāre par

nahīñ is ke alāva mai-kade meñ iḳhtiyār apnā

agar qāsid haqīqat meñ payām-e-vasl laayā hai

to kyuuñ aañsū bhare muñh dekhtā hai ġham-gusār apnā

zarūrat kyā kisī ko is taraf ho kar guzarne kī

alag ai bekasī bastī se hai kosoñ mazār apnā

ma.aaz allāh furqat kī haiñ rāteñ qabr kī rāteñ

abhī se yaañ huā jaatā hai sun sun kar fishār apnā

guloñ kī surḳh rañgat jism meñ lauke lagātī hai

dikhātī hai tamāshā kis kī āñkhoñ ko bahār apnā

ḳhatar kyā kashti-e-mai ko bhalā mauj-e-havādis kā

na beḌā paar ho kyūñkar ki ḳhud saaqī hai yaar apnā

chhupā legā kisī din arsh tak ko apne dāman meñ

dikhā degā tamāshā phail kar musht-e-ġhubār apnā

ḳhabar kyā ġhaib kī ġham-ḳhvār ko aur yaañ ye aalam hai

kahā jaatā nahīñ apnī zabāñ se hāl-e-zār apnā

nahīñ kartā gavārā rāh-rau ke dil pe mail aanā

uḌā kartā hai raste se alag haT kar ġhubār apnā

dam aayā naak meñ fariyādiyoñ ke shor o ġhauġhā se

qayāmat meñ abas kyuuñ khīñch laayā intishār apnā

ham ik mehmāñ haiñ ham se dostī karne kā hāsil kyā

nahīñ kuchh is jahāñ meñ ai shab-e-ġham e'tibār apnā

kuchh aisā kar ki ḳhuld ābād tak ai 'shād' jā pahuñcheñ

abhī tak raah meñ vo kar rahe haiñ intizār apnā

na dil apna na gham apna na koi gham-gusar apna

hum apna jaante har chiz ko hota jo yar apna

jame kis tarah is hairat-kade mein e'tibar apna

na dil apna na jaan apni na hum apne na yar apna

haqiqat mein hamin ko jab nahin KHud e'tibar apna

ghalat samjhi agar samjhi hai tan ko jaan-e-zar apna

kahin hai dam arman ka kahin dane ummidon ke

ajal karti hai kis kis ghat se hum ko shikar apna

ilahi KHair ho ab ke bahaar-e-bagh ne phir bhi

jamaya be-tarah bulbul ke dil par e'tibar apna

jo mai ko Dhaal bhi len hum to saqi ke ishaare par

nahin is ke alawa mai-kade mein iKHtiyar apna

agar qasid haqiqat mein payam-e-wasl laya hai

to kyun aansu bhare munh dekhta hai gham-gusar apna

zarurat kya kisi ko is taraf ho kar guzarne ki

alag ai bekasi basti se hai koson mazar apna

maaz allah furqat ki hain raaten qabr ki raaten

abhi se yan hua jata hai sun sun kar fishaar apna

gulon ki surKH rangat jism mein lauke lagati hai

dikhati hai tamasha kis ki aankhon ko bahaar apna

KHatar kya kashti-e-mai ko bhala mauj-e-hawadis ka

na beDa par ho kyunkar ki KHud saqi hai yar apna

chhupa lega kisi din arsh tak ko apne daman mein

dikha dega tamasha phail kar musht-e-ghubar apna

KHabar kya ghaib ki gham-KHwar ko aur yan ye aalam hai

kaha jata nahin apni zaban se haal-e-zar apna

nahin karta gawara rah-rau ke dil pe mail aana

uDa karta hai raste se alag haT kar ghubar apna

dam aaya nak mein fariyaadiyon ke shor o ghaugha se

qayamat mein abas kyun khinch laya intishaar apna

hum ek mehman hain hum se dosti karne ka hasil kya

nahin kuchh is jahan mein ai shab-e-gham e'tibar apna

kuchh aisa kar ki KHuld aabaad tak ai 'shad' ja pahunchen

abhi tak rah mein wo kar rahe hain intizar apna
