KHizan Ka Koi Wajud Hai Na Chaman Mein Rang-E-Bahaar Hai

Poet

ḳhizan ka koi vajud hai na chaman men rang-e-bahar hai

jise janta hai tu karvan vo tiri nazar ka ghubar hai

na jamal men hain latafaten na latafaton men hai be-ḳhudi

ye junun-e-ishq ka bhuut hai jo bashar ke sar pe savar hai

mujhe be-niyaz-e-alam na kar mujhe be-nasib-e-sitam na kar

mire gham ki lazzat-e-javedan miri zindagi ki bahar hai

ye nahin nashat ka zamzama ise gosh-e-hosh se sun zara

mire saz-e-dil ki sada nahin miri be-kasi ki pukar hai

mujhe zindagi ki dua na de mujhe aisi saḳht saza na de

mujhe dekh aa ke qarib-tar mira har nafas mujhe baar hai

hai ḳhabar asiir riha hue hain farogh daur-e-bahar men

chalo ‘raaj ham bhi chale chalen ki chaman men urs-e-bahar hai
