Kis Qadar Dilruba-Numa Hai Dil

Poet

kis qadar dilruba-numa hai dil

ḳhana-e-ghair ho gaya hai dil

har ghaḌi kyuun na zalzale men rahe

mash.had-e-hasrat-o-vafa hai dil

maut bhi sahal kuchh nahin apni

kis liye taqat-azma hai dil

maslahat is men ho na koi kaash

dushman-e-jan ho gaya hai dil

sab se lag chalne ki hui hai kho

kis qadar sarf-e-ashna hai dil

shaiḳh-e-san.an ka yaad hai qissa

saḳht kafir buri bala hai dil

apni halat men mubtala huun aap

dil-ruba jaan hai jan-ruba hai dil

balbe vamandgi ki tez ravi

jaise jaane pe aa gaya hai dil

kis jafa-kar ki vafa hai jaan

kis sitam-kash ka mudda.a hai dil

teri ulfat ka naqd dagh-e-jigar

meri hasrat ka ḳhun-baha hai dil

kahiye kis se laga liya lagga

ai ‘qalaq’ kyuun ke lag chala hai dil
