tirī chashm-e-tarab ko dekhnā paḌtā hai pur-nam bhī
mohabbat ḳhanda-e-be-bāk bhī hai girya-e-ġham bhī
thakan tere badan kī uzr koī DhūñDh hī letī
hadīs-e-mahfil-e-shab kah rahī hai zulf barham bhī
ba-qadr-e-dil yahāñ se shola-e-jāñ-sāz miltā hai
charāġh-e-husn kī lau shoḳh bhī hai aur maddham bhī
mirī tanhā.iyoñ kī dil-kashī terī balā jaane
merī tanhā.iyoñ se pyaar kartā hai tirā ġham bhī
bahāroñ ke ġhazal-ḳhvāñ aaj ye mahsūs karte haiñ
pas-e-dīvār-e-gul rotī rahī hai chashm-e-shabnam bhī
qarīb aate magar kuchh fāsla bhī darmiyāñ rahtā
kamī ye rah ga.ī hai bāvajūd-e-rabt-e-bāham bhī
'zahīr' un ko hamāre dil kī har shoḳhī gavārā thī
unheñ karnā paḌegā ab hamāre dil kā mātam bhī
