dekhe baġhair haal ye hai iztirāb kā

kyā jaane kyā ho parda jo uTThe naqāb kā

dekhe baghair haal ye hai iztirab ka

kya jaane kya ho parda jo uTThe naqab ka

deñ bhī javāb-e-ḳhat ki na deñ kyā ḳhabar mujhe

kyuuñ apne saath le na gayā nāma-bar mujhe

den bhi jawab-e-KHat ki na den kya KHabar mujhe

kyun apne sath le na gaya nama-bar mujhe

ġhazal us ne chheḌī mujhe saaz denā

zarā umr-e-rafta ko āvāz denā

ghazal us ne chheDi mujhe saz dena

zara umr-e-rafta ko aawaz dena

janāza rok kar merā vo is andāz se bole

galī ham ne kahī thī tum to duniyā chhoḌe jaate ho

janaza rok kar mera wo is andaz se bole

gali hum ne kahi thi tum to duniya chhoDe jate ho

ḳhatm ho jaate jo husn o ishq ke naaz o adā

shā.erī bhī ḳhatm ho jaatī nubuvvat kī tarah

KHatm ho jate jo husn o ishq ke naz o ada

shaeri bhi KHatm ho jati nubuwwat ki tarah
