ye rāh-e-ishq hai āḳhir koī mazāq nahīñ

sa.ūbatoñ se jo ghabrā ga.e hoñ ghar jaa.eñ

ye rah-e-ishq hai aaKHir koi mazaq nahin

saubaton se jo ghabra gae hon ghar jaen

farishta hai to taqaddus tujhe mubārak ho

ham aadmī haiñ to aib-o-hunar bhī rakhte haiñ

farishta hai to taqaddus tujhe mubarak ho

hum aadmi hain to aib-o-hunar bhi rakhte hain

lamha lamha mujhe vīrān kiye detā hai

bas gayā mere tasavvur meñ ye chehra kis kā

lamha lamha mujhe viran kiye deta hai

bas gaya mere tasawwur mein ye chehra kis ka

is shahr meñ to kuchh nahīñ rusvā.ī ke sivā

ai 'dil' ye ishq le ke kidhar aa gayā tujhe

is shahr mein to kuchh nahin ruswai ke siwa

ai 'dil' ye ishq le ke kidhar aa gaya tujhe

na gird-o-pesh se is darja be-niyāz guzar

jo be-ḳhabar se haiñ sab kī ḳhabar bhī rakhte haiñ

na gird-o-pesh se is darja be-niyaz guzar

jo be-KHabar se hain sab ki KHabar bhi rakhte hain
