Hai Soz-E-Gham Ko Garmi-E-Bazar Ki Talash

Munawwar Lakhnavi

hai soz-e-gham ko garmi-e-bazar ki talash

is jins ko hai apne ḳharidar ki talash

kafir ki justuju hai na din-dar ki talash

hai ek jazb-e-gham ke parastar ki talash

avargi-e-chashm-e-tajassus abas nahin

karti hai apne markaz-e-didar ki talash

juuya gunahgar hai lutf-e-karim ka

lutf-e-karim ko hai gunahgar ki talash

kya jaane shaḳh shaḳh ne kya gul khila.e hain

hai ashiyan ko barq-e-sharar-bar ki talash

varafta-e-junun ka hai mudda.a kuchh aur

sahra ki justuju hai na gulzar ki talash

pursan koi bhi aaj ‘munavar’ mira nahin

mujh gham-zada ko hai kisi gham-ḳhvar ki talash
