Bastiyan DhunDh Rahi Hain Unhen Viranon Mein

bastiyan DhunDh rahi hain unhen viranon mein

wahshaten baDh gain had se tere diwanon mein

nigah-e-naz na diwanon na farzanon mein

jaankar ek wahi hai magar an-jaanon mein

bazm-e-mai be-KHud-o-be-tab na kyun ho saqi

mauj-e-baada hai ki dard uThta hai paimanon mein

main to main chaunk uThi hai ye faza-e-KHamosh

ye sada kab ki suni aati hai phir kanon mein

sair kar ujDe dilon ki jo tabiat hai udas

ji bahal jate hain akasr inhin viranon mein

wusaten bhi hain nihan tangi-e-dil mein ghafil

ji bahal jate hain aksar inhin maidanon mein

jaan iman-e-junun silsila jumban-e-junun

kuchh kashish-ha-e-nihan jazb hain viranon mein

KHanda-e-subh-e-azal tirgi-e-sham-e-abad

donon aalam hain chhalakte hue paimanon mein

dekh jab aalam-e-hu ko to naya aalam hai

bastiyan bhi nazar aane lagin viranon mein

jis jagah baiTh gae aag laga kar uTThe

garmiyan hain kuchh abhi soKHta-samanon mein

wahshaten bhi nazar aati hain sar-e-parda-e-naz

damanon mein hai ye aalam na garebanon mein

ek rangini-e-zahir hai gulistan mein agar

ek shadabi-e-pinhan hai bayabanon mein

jauhar-e-ghuncha-o-gul mein hai ek andaz-e-junun

kuchh bayaban nazar aae hain garebanon mein

ab wo rang-e-chaman-o-KHanda-e-gul bhi na rahe

ab wo aasar-e-junun bhi nahin diwanon mein

ab wo saqi ki bhi aankhen na rahin rindon mein

ab wo saghar bhi chhalakte nahin mai-KHanon mein

ab wo ek soz-e-nihani bhi dilon mein na raha

ab wo jalwe bhi nahin ishq ke kashanon mein

ab na wo raat jab ummiden bhi kuchh thin tujh se

ab na wo baat gham-e-hijr ke afsanon mein

ab tera kaam hai bas ahl-e-wafa ka pana

ab tera nam hai bas ishq ke gham-KHanon mein

ta-ba-kai wada-e-mauhum ki tafsil 'firaq'

shab-e-furqat kahin kaTti hai in afsanon mein
