Saz-E-Hasti Ka Ajab Josh Nazar Aata Hai

saz-e-hasti ka ajab josh nazar aata hai

ik zamana hama-tan-gosh nazar aata hai

hasrat-e-jalva-e-didar ho puuri kyunkar

vo tasavvur men bhi ru-posh nazar aata hai

dekhte jaao zara shahr-e-ḳhamoshan ka saman

ki zamana yahan ḳhamosh nazar aata hai

aap ke nashtar-e-mizhgan ko chubho leta huun

ḳhun-e-dil men jo kabhi josh nazar aata hai

aap hi sirf jafa-kosh nazar aate hain

saara aalam to vafa-kosh nazar aata hai

mausam-e-gul na raha dil na raha ji na raha

phir bhi vahshat ka vahi josh nazar aata hai

shana-e-yar pe bikhri to nahin zulf-e-daraz

har koi ḳhanuman bar-dosh nazar aata hai

jalva-e-qudrat-e-bari ka muamma na khula

ru-ba-ru rah ke bhi ru-posh nazar aata hai

phir zara ḳhanjar-e-qatil ko ḳhabar de koi

ḳhun-e-‘bismil’ men vahi josh nazar aata hai
