koi mila to kisi aur ki kami hui hai

koī milā to kisī aur kī kamī huī hai

so dil ne be-talabī iḳhtiyār kī huī hai

jahāñ se dil kī taraf zindagī utartī thī

nigāh ab bhī usī baam par jamī huī hai

hai intizār use bhī tumhārī ḳhush-bū kā

havā galī meñ bahut der se rukī huī hai

tum aa ga.e ho to ab ā.īna bhī dekheñge

abhī abhī to nigāhoñ meñ raushnī huī hai

hamārā ilm to marhūn-e-lauh-e-dil hai miyāñ

kitāb-e-aql to bas taaq par dharī huī hai

banāo saa.e harārat badan meñ jazb karo

ki dhuup sahn meñ kab se yūñhī paḌī huī hai

nahīñ nahīñ maiñ bahut ḳhush rahā huuñ tere baġhair

yaqīn kar ki ye hālat abhī abhī huī hai

vo guftugū jo mirī sirf apne-āp se thī

tirī nigāh ko pahuñchī to shā.irī huī hai

koi mila to kisi aur ki kami hui hai

so dil ne be-talabi iKHtiyar ki hui hai

jahan se dil ki taraf zindagi utarti thi

nigah ab bhi usi baam par jami hui hai

hai intizar use bhi tumhaari KHush-bu ka

hawa gali mein bahut der se ruki hui hai

tum aa gae ho to ab aaina bhi dekhenge

abhi abhi to nigahon mein raushni hui hai

hamara ilm to marhun-e-lauh-e-dil hai miyan

kitab-e-aql to bas taq par dhari hui hai

banao sae hararat badan mein jazb karo

ki dhup sahn mein kab se yunhi paDi hui hai

nahin nahin main bahut KHush raha hun tere baghair

yaqin kar ki ye haalat abhi abhi hui hai

wo guftugu jo meri sirf apne-ap se thi

teri nigah ko pahunchi to shairi hui hai
