hai justuju ki KHub se hai KHub-tar kahan
hai justujū ki ḳhuub se hai ḳhūb-tar kahāñ
ab Thahratī hai dekhiye jā kar nazar kahāñ
haiñ daur-e-jām-e-avval-e-shab meñ ḳhudī se duur
hotī hai aaj dekhiye ham ko sahar kahāñ
yā rab is iḳhtilāt kā anjām ho ba-ḳhair
thā us ko ham se rabt magar is qadar kahāñ
ik umr chāhiye ki gavārā ho nīsh-e-ishq
rakkhī hai aaj lazzat-e-zaḳhm-e-jigar kahāñ
bas ho chukā bayāñ kasal-o-ranj-e-rāh kā
ḳhat kā mire javāb hai ai nāma-bar kahāñ
kaun o makāñ se hai dil-e-vahshī kanāra-gīr
is ḳhānumāñ-ḳharāb ne DhūñDā hai ghar kahāñ
ham jis pe mar rahe haiñ vo hai baat hī kuchh aur
aalam meñ tujh se laakh sahī tū magar kahāñ
hotī nahīñ qubūl duā tark-e-ishq kī
dil chāhtā na ho to zabāñ meñ asar kahāñ
'hālī' nashāt-e-naġhma-o-mai DhūñDhte ho ab
aa.e ho vaqt-e-sub.h rahe raat bhar kahāñ
hai justuju ki KHub se hai KHub-tar kahan
ab Thahrati hai dekhiye ja kar nazar kahan
hain daur-e-jam-e-awwal-e-shab mein KHudi se dur
hoti hai aaj dekhiye hum ko sahar kahan
ya rab is iKHtilat ka anjam ho ba-KHair
tha us ko hum se rabt magar is qadar kahan
ek umr chahiye ki gawara ho nish-e-ishq
rakkhi hai aaj lazzat-e-zaKHm-e-jigar kahan
bas ho chuka bayan kasal-o-ranj-e-rah ka
KHat ka mere jawab hai ai nama-bar kahan
kaun o makan se hai dil-e-wahshi kanara-gir
is KHanuman-KHarab ne DhunDa hai ghar kahan
hum jis pe mar rahe hain wo hai baat hi kuchh aur
aalam mein tujh se lakh sahi tu magar kahan
hoti nahin qubul dua tark-e-ishq ki
dil chahta na ho to zaban mein asar kahan
'haali' nashat-e-naghma-o-mai DhunDhte ho ab
aae ho waqt-e-subh rahe raat bhar kahan
