aah asar ho gai to kya hoga

aah asar ho ga.ī to kyā hogā

be-asar ho ga.ī to kyā hogā

shām-e-ġham aa chale tasavvur meñ

ab sahar ho ga.ī to kyā hogā

vo nazar jis ko hai ḳhabar merī

be-ḳhabar ho ga.ī to kyā hogā

dāstāñ 'ishq kī tavīl to hai

muḳhtasar ho ga.ī to kyā hogā

shab na kaaTe kaTī to hogā kyā

aur basar ho ga.ī to kyā hogā

aah go dil se ham nahīñ karte

kārgar ho ga.ī to kyā hogā

rū-barū un ke chup to huuñ 'bahzād'

aañkh tar ho ga.ī to kyā hogā

aah asar ho gai to kya hoga

be-asar ho gai to kya hoga

sham-e-gham aa chale tasawwur mein

ab sahar ho gai to kya hoga

wo nazar jis ko hai KHabar meri

be-KHabar ho gai to kya hoga

dastan 'ishq ki tawil to hai

muKHtasar ho gai to kya hoga

shab na kaTe kaTi to hoga kya

aur basar ho gai to kya hoga

aah go dil se hum nahin karte

kargar ho gai to kya hoga

ru-baru un ke chup to hun 'bahzad'

aankh tar ho gai to kya hoga
