uski surat ka tasawwur dil mein jab late hain hum

us kī sūrat kā tasavvur dil meñ jab laate haiñ ham

ḳhud-ba-ḳhud apne se hamdam aap ghabrāte haiñ ham

hosh gar rahtā ho tujh ko ham se poshīda na rakh

jab vo yaañ aatā hai ai dil tab kahāñ jaate haiñ ham

baiThe baiThe kyuuñ yakāyak haa.e dil khoyā gayā

hamdam is kā kuchh sabab DhūñDe nahīñ paate haiñ ham

ḳhud-ba-ḳhud kal shab ko vo bole uThā muñh se naqāb

jo na dekhā ho kisī ne mujh ko, dikhlāte haiñ ham

be-sabab ho kar ḳhafā jab kuchh sunātā hai vo shoḳh

jī hī jī meñ apne uupar haa.e jhunjhlāte haiñ ham

shaam ko saaqī kabhī aatā hai gar terā ḳhayāl

sub.h tak bhī hosh meñ apne nahīñ aate haiñ ham

ham ne ġham kyā ḳhaak khāyā ġham ne ham ko khā liyā

log ai hamdam samajhte haiñ ki ġham khāte haiñ ham

jaam le kar mujh se vo kahtā hai apne muñh ko pher

rū-ba-rū yuuñ tere mai piine se sharmāte haiñ ham

jo kalām-e-ishq ye hargiz samajhtā hī nahīñ

dil ko sau sau tarah 'ġhamgīñ' haa.e samjhāte haiñ ham

us ki surat ka tasawwur dil mein jab late hain hum

KHud-ba-KHud apne se hamdam aap ghabraate hain hum

hosh gar rahta ho tujh ko hum se poshida na rakh

jab wo yan aata hai ai dil tab kahan jate hain hum

baiThe baiThe kyun yakayak hae dil khoya gaya

hamdam is ka kuchh sabab DhunDe nahin pate hain hum

KHud-ba-KHud kal shab ko wo bole uTha munh se naqab

jo na dekha ho kisi ne mujh ko, dikhlate hain hum

be-sabab ho kar KHafa jab kuchh sunata hai wo shoKH

ji hi ji mein apne upar hae jhunjhlate hain hum

sham ko saqi kabhi aata hai gar tera KHayal

subh tak bhi hosh mein apne nahin aate hain hum

hum ne gham kya KHak khaya gham ne hum ko kha liya

log ai hamdam samajhte hain ki gham khate hain hum

jam le kar mujh se wo kahta hai apne munh ko pher

ru-ba-ru yun tere mai pine se sharmate hain hum

jo kalam-e-ishq ye hargiz samajhta hi nahin

dil ko sau sau tarah 'ghamgin' hae samjhate hain hum
