ġhair taraf kyūñki nazar kar sakūñ — Siraj Aurangabadi

kaan meñ hai tere motī āb-dār
yā kisī āshiq kā aañsū bolnā

chalī samt-e-ġhaib siiñ kyā havā ki chaman zuhūr kā jal gayā
magar ek shāḳh-e-nihāl-e-ġham jise dil kaho so harī rahī

hamārī baat mohabbat siiñ tum jo gosh karo
to apnī prem kahānī tumheñ sunā.ūñgā

takiya-e-maḳhmalī sirhāne rakh
lekin āñkhoñ siiñ apnī ḳhvāb nikāl

vo āshiqī ke khet meñ sābit qadam huā
jo koī zaḳhm-e-ishq liyā dil kī Dhaal par

tirī abrū hai mehrāb-e-mohabbat
namāz-e-ishq mere par huī farz

Dil dhoondta hai phir wahi fursat-e-shab-o-roz
Naaz uthana, naaz uthana, naaz uthana

Hazaaron khwahishein aisi ke har khwahish pe dam nikle
Bahut nikle mere armaan, lekin phir bhi kam nikle

sau sau umīdeñ bañdhtī hai ik ik nigāh par
mujh ko na aise pyaar se dekhā kare koī

ishq ne 'ġhālib' nikammā kar diyā
varna ham bhī aadmī the kaam ke

dil meñ na ho jur.at to mohabbat nahīñ miltī
ḳhairāt meñ itnī baḌī daulat nahīñ miltī

hamārā 'mīr'-jī se muttafiq honā hai nā-mumkin
uThānā hai jo patthar ishq kā to halkā bhārī kyā
