yaksan kabhi kisi ki na guzri zamane mein
yaksāñ kabhī kisī kī na guzrī zamāne meñ
yādash-ba-ḳhair baiThe the kal āshiyāne meñ
sadme diye to sabr kī daulat bhī degā vo
kis chiiz kī kamī hai saḳhī ke ḳhazāne meñ
ġhurbat kī maut bhī sabab-e-zikr-e-ḳhair hai
gar ham nahīñ to naam rahegā zamāne meñ
dam bhar meñ ab marīz kā qissa tamām hai
kyūñkar kahūñ ye raat kaTegī fasāne meñ
saaqī maiñ dekhtā huuñ zamīñ āsmāñ kā farq
arsh-e-barīñ meñ aur tire āstāne meñ
dīvāreñ phāñd-phāñd ke dīvāne chal base
ḳhaak uḌ rahī hai chaar taraf qaid-ḳhāne meñ
sayyād is asīrī pe sau jaañ se maiñ fidā
dil-bastagī qafas kī kahāñ āshiyāne meñ
ham aise bad-nasīb ki ab tak na mar ga.e
āñkhoñ ke aage aag lagī āshiyāne meñ
dīvāne ban ke un ke gale se lipaT bhī jaao
kaam apnā kar lo 'yās' bahāne-bahāne meñ
yaksan kabhi kisi ki na guzri zamane mein
yaadash-ba-KHair baiThe the kal aashiyane mein
sadme diye to sabr ki daulat bhi dega wo
kis chiz ki kami hai saKHi ke KHazane mein
ghurbat ki maut bhi sabab-e-zikr-e-KHair hai
gar hum nahin to nam rahega zamane mein
dam bhar mein ab mariz ka qissa tamam hai
kyunkar kahun ye raat kaTegi fasane mein
saqi main dekhta hun zamin aasman ka farq
arsh-e-barin mein aur tere aastane mein
diwaren phand-phand ke diwane chal base
KHak uD rahi hai chaar taraf qaid-KHane mein
sayyaad is asiri pe sau jaan se main fida
dil-bastagi qafas ki kahan aashiyane mein
hum aise bad-nasib ki ab tak na mar gae
aankhon ke aage aag lagi aashiyane mein
diwane ban ke un ke gale se lipaT bhi jao
kaam apna kar lo 'yas' bahane-bahane mein
