jis ko ḳhabar nahīñ use josh-o-ḳharosh hai
jo pā gayā vo raaz vo gum hai ḳhamosh hai
hai ek shor-e-bulbul-o-saut-e-shagufta-gul
ye sūrat-e-āfiyat hai vo yāsīn-e-hosh hai
aa.ī thī shakl dil ke jo aa.ina meñ nazar
band aañkh is se aur zabāñ bhī ḳhamosh hai
ye haal ho ki aap meñ aalam ko dekh le
gar dil meñ tere ishq kī kasrat kā josh hai
kab hai kamāl-e-ishq pe haavī ġham-e-firāq
ek ek zarra qais ko mahmil ba-dosh hai
vārafta-e-havā-e-tarab yaad rakh use
jo dard kī khaTak hai naved-e-sharosh hai
barq-e-jamāl nāfe-e-mā-o-shumā huī
kyā zikr-e-sham-e-tūr ki vo bhī ḳhamosh hai
kyā hai tirā hudūs-o-qidam ham to haiñ vahāñ
hastī jahāñ adam ke liye ḳhvāb-nosh hai
ushshāq jaama pahne haiñ taslīm-e-ishq kā
dastār-o-jubba shaiḳh kā haañ pardā-posh hai
tere jahāñ se mahfil-e-rindāñ judā hai shaiḳh
har ek muġhbacha yahāñ kasr-e-farosh hai
saaqī kī ek nazar hī hameñ mast kar ga.ī
kis ko surāhī-o-ḳham-o-sāġhar kā hosh hai
amrit ke jhāle mar kiyā lā-taqnatū kī haiñ
is bazm meñ ye mashġhala-e-nāo-nosh hai
'kaifī' ye ahl-e-dahr se kah do pukār kar
is bazm meñ vo aa.e ki jo sarfarosh hai
