Husn Ka Ek Aah Ne Chehra niDhaal Kar Diya

Fana Nizami Kanpuri

husn ka ek aah ne chehra niDhal kar diya

aaj to ai dil-e-hazin tu ne kamal kar diya

sahta raha jafa-e-dost kahta raha ada-e-dost

mere ḳhulus ne mira jiina muhal kar diya

mai-kade men hai qaht-e-mai ya koi aur baat hai

pir-e-mughan ne kyuun mujhe jaam sambhal kar diya

jitne chaman-parast the saya-e-gul men mast the

apna uruj-e-gulistan nazr-e-zaval kar diya

ḳhud mira soz-e-jan-gudaz chheḌ saka na dil ka saaz

aap ki ik nigah ne sahab-e-hal kar diya

bazm men saare ahl-e-hosh un ke sitam pe the ḳhamosh

ek junun-parast ne uTh ke saval kar diya

lutf-e-firaq-e-yar ne lazzat-e-intizar ne

duur dil o nigah se shauq-e-visal kar diya

sun ke bayan-e-mai-kada dekh ke shan-e-mai-kada

shaiḳh-e-haram ne bhi ‘fana’ mai ko halal kar diya
