kyun DhunDhti rahti hun use sare jahan mein
kyuuñ DhūñDhtī rahtī huuñ use saare jahāñ meñ
vo shaḳhs ki rahtā hai mire dil ke makāñ meñ
maiñ vo nahīñ kahte haiñ jo kuchh aur kareñ aur
jo kuchh hai mire dil meñ vahī mere bayāñ meñ
yā-rab tirī rahmat jo kabhī josh meñ aa.e
maiñ soch bhī pā.ūñ na kabhī vahm-o-gumāñ meñ
kyā zikr ki is ziist meñ kuchh khoyā ki paayā
ab kuchh bhī to rakkhā nahīñ is suud o ziyāñ meñ
masrūf huuñ itnī ki tavajjoh nahīñ detī
detā hai sadā koī mujhe qarya-e-jāñ meñ
vo sañg kabhī mom kī sūrat bane 'nusrat'
ab itnā asar lā.ūñ kahāñ apnī zabāñ meñ
kyun DhunDhti rahti hun use sare jahan mein
wo shaKHs ki rahta hai mere dil ke makan mein
main wo nahin kahte hain jo kuchh aur karen aur
jo kuchh hai mere dil mein wahi mere bayan mein
ya-rab teri rahmat jo kabhi josh mein aae
main soch bhi paun na kabhi wahm-o-guman mein
kya zikr ki is zist mein kuchh khoya ki paya
ab kuchh bhi to rakkha nahin is sud o ziyan mein
masruf hun itni ki tawajjoh nahin deti
deta hai sada koi mujhe qarya-e-jaan mein
wo sang kabhi mom ki surat bane 'nusrat'
ab itna asar laun kahan apni zaban mein
