kafir tujhe allah ne surat to pari di

kāfir tujhe allāh ne sūrat to parī dī

par haif tire dil meñ mohabbat na zarī dī

dī tū ne mujhe saltanat-e-bahr-o-bar ai ishq

hoñToñ ko jo ḳhushkī mirī āñkhoñ ko tarī dī

ḳhāl-e-lab-e-shīrīñ kā diyā bosa kab us ne

ik chaaT lagāne ko mire nīshkarī dī

kāfir tire saudā-e-sar-e-zulf ne mujh ko

kyā kyā na pareshānī o āshufta-sarī dī

mehnat se hai azmat ki zamāne meñ nagīñ ko

be-kāvish-e-sīna na kabhī nāmvarī dī

sayyād ne dī ruḳhsat-e-parvāz par afsos

tū ne na ijāzat mujhe be-bāl-o-parī dī

kahtā tirā kuchh soḳhta-jāñ lek ajal ne

fursat na use misl-e-charāġh-e-saharī dī

qassam-e-azal ne na rakhā ham ko bhī mahrūm

garche na diyā koī hunar be-hunarī dī

us chashm meñ hai surme kā dumbāla pur-āshob

kyuuñ haath meñ badmast ke bandūq bharī dī

dil de ke kiyā ham ne tirī zulf kā saudā

ik aap balā apne liye mol ḳharīdī

saaqī ne diyā kyā mujhe ik sāġhar-e-sarshār

goyā ki do aalam se 'zafar' be-ḳhabarī dī

kafir tujhe allah ne surat to pari di

par haif tere dil mein mohabbat na zari di

di tu ne mujhe saltanat-e-bahr-o-bar ai ishq

honTon ko jo KHushki meri aankhon ko tari di

KHal-e-lab-e-shirin ka diya bosa kab us ne

ek chaT lagane ko mere nishkari di

kafir tere sauda-e-sar-e-zulf ne mujh ko

kya kya na pareshani o aashufta-sari di

mehnat se hai azmat ki zamane mein nagin ko

be-kawish-e-sina na kabhi namwari di

sayyaad ne di ruKHsat-e-parwaz par afsos

tu ne na ijazat mujhe be-baal-o-pari di

kahta tera kuchh soKHta-jaan lek ajal ne

fursat na use misl-e-charagh-e-sahari di

qassam-e-azal ne na rakha hum ko bhi mahrum

garche na diya koi hunar be-hunari di

us chashm mein hai surme ka dumbaala pur-ashob

kyun hath mein badmast ke banduq bhari di

dil de ke kiya hum ne teri zulf ka sauda

ek aap bala apne liye mol KHaridi

saqi ne diya kya mujhe ek saghar-e-sarshaar

goya ki do aalam se 'zafar' be-KHabari di
