kashaa-kash-e-Gham-e-hastee sataaYe kyaa kahiYe! *

kashaa-kash-e-Gham-e-hastee sataaYe kyaa kahiYe
ph`ir us pah soz-e-darooN dil jalaaYe kyaa kahiYe!

KhulooS-e-lut^f ko Dh`ooNDaa kiYe zamaanah meN
chale jahaaN se waheeN lauT aaYe kyaa kahiYe

wo paas reh ke door ik karishmah hai
woh door reh ke magar paas aaYe kyaa kahiYe!

koyee Hareef-e-Gham-e-zindagee naheeN dekh`aa
Hareef yooN to bohat aazmaaYe kyaa kahiYe

yooN aaftaab ch`upaa shaam-e-Gham kee chaadar meN
keh jaise nabZ^ koyee Doob jaaYe kyaa kahiYe

hameN yeh Z^id keh sawaal-e-t^alab naheeN karte
unheN yeh Z^id keh yeh Khaalee hee jaaYe kyaa kahiYe!

laraz rahaa hai guhar-taab dil sar-e-mizhgaaN
sitaarah-e-saHaree jh`ilmilaaYe kyaa kahiYe

Hikaayat-e-Haram-o-dair Khoob hai "Sarwar"
magar yeh shaam-o-saHar haaYe! haaYe! kyaa kahiYe!
