kuchh roz se pareshāñ vo zulf-e-mushkbū hai
mere hī hāl-e-dil kī tasvīr hū-ba-hū hai
ye kis kī aarzū hai ye kis kī justujū hai
kis kī talāsh meñ dil āvāra kū-ba-kū hai
ai be-adab ye kaisā andāz-e-guftugū hai
kambaḳht kuchh ḳhabar hai tū kis ke rū-ba-rū hai
phir koī zaḳhm taaza shāyad milegā dil ko
tāmīr-e-āshiyāñ kī phir dil ko aarzū hai
un ke karam kī hasrat un ke sitam kā shikva
muddat se ‘shauq’ apnā mauzū-e-guftugū hai
