kis tarah waqif hon haal-e-ashiq-e-jaan-baz se

kis tarah vāqif hoñ hāl-e-āshiq-e-jāñ-bāz se

un ko fursat hī nahīñ hai kārobār-e-nāz se

mere dard-e-dil se goyā āshnā haiñ chob-o-tār

apne naale sun rahā huuñ parda-hā-e-sāz se

zarra zarra hai yahāñ ik katba-e-sirr-alast

aap hī vāqif nahīñ haiñ rasm-e-ḳhatt-e-rāz se

dil ga.e īmāñ ga.e aqleñ ga.iiñ jāneñ ga.iiñ

tum ne kyā kyā kar dikhāyā ik nigāh-e-nāz se

aah! kal tak vo navāzish! aaj itnī be-ruḳhī

kuchh to nisbat chāhiye anjām ko āġhāz se

kis tarah waqif hon haal-e-ashiq-e-jaan-baz se

un ko fursat hi nahin hai karobar-e-naz se

mere dard-e-dil se goya aashna hain chob-o-tar

apne nale sun raha hun parda-ha-e-saz se

zarra zarra hai yahan ek katba-e-sirr-alast

aap hi waqif nahin hain rasm-e-KHatt-e-raaz se

dil gae iman gae aqlen gain jaanen gain

tum ne kya kya kar dikhaya ek nigah-e-naz se

aah! kal tak wo nawazish! aaj itni be-ruKHi

kuchh to nisbat chahiye anjam ko aaghaz se
