kya kahun kya mila hai kya na mila

kyā kahūñ kyā milā hai kyā na milā

dil bhī shāyān-e-dilrubā na milā

talḳhi-e-zindagī are tauba

zahr meñ zahr kā mazā na milā

ham ko apnī ḳhabar na dāman kī

chashm-e-rahmat ko ik bahāna milā

laakh milne kā ek milnā hai

ki hameñ izn-e-iltijā na milā

fitna-e-rind-o-mohtasib tauba

barmalā koī pārsā na milā

thī baḌī bhiiḌ us ke kūche meñ

ḳhizr aa.e the rāstā na milā

kis se miliye 'ravish' ki dillī meñ

sab mile vo ḳhud-āshnā na milā

kya kahun kya mila hai kya na mila

dil bhi shayan-e-dilruba na mila

talKHi-e-zindagi are tauba

zahr mein zahr ka maza na mila

hum ko apni KHabar na daman ki

chashm-e-rahmat ko ek bahana mila

lakh milne ka ek milna hai

ki hamein izn-e-iltija na mila

fitna-e-rind-o-mohtasib tauba

barmala koi parsa na mila

thi baDi bhiD us ke kuche mein

KHizr aae the rasta na mila

kis se miliye 'rawish' ki dilli mein

sab mile wo KHud-ashna na mila
