aa.ī ai gul-ezār kyā kahnā
ḳhuub aa.ī bahār kyā kahnā
mehñdī mal kar hai choT marjāñ par
haath lāla-nigār kyā kahnā
mujh se āshiq ke aur yuuñ nafrīñ
vaah shābāsh yaar kyā kahnā
barq bhī darkinār rah jaa.e
haañ dil-e-be-qarār kyā kahnā
laakh baar imtihān-e-ishq kiyā
na kahā ek baar kyā kahnā
bahs-e-girya meñ abr bol gayā
dīda-e-ashk-bār kyā kahnā
maiñ to rotā huuñ aap hañste haiñ
yahī hotā hai yaar kyā kahnā
saḳhtī-e-ishq jhel le ai dil
vaah re burdbār kyā kahnā
mar ga.e ham magar na rahm aayā
vahī tevar haiñ yaar kyā kahnā
ḳhaar ḳhār-e-ġham-e-dil-e-pur-dard
chīḳh kar ai hazār kyā kahnā
kah to lalkār leñ raqīboñ ko
baat rakh lī nigār kyā kahnā
josh-e-ulfat meñ aur zabt ai dil
jabr par iḳhtiyār kyā kahnā
yuuñ to jo gul hai ḳhuub hai lekin
terā ai gul-ezār kyā kahnā
ai 'sabā' da.avā-e-anal-haq hai
ḳhuub soche ho yaar kyā kahnā
aai ai gul-ezar kya kahna
KHub aai bahaar kya kahna
mehndi mal kar hai choT marjaan par
hath lala-nigar kya kahna
mujh se aashiq ke aur yun nafrin
wah shabash yar kya kahna
barq bhi darkinar rah jae
han dil-e-be-qarar kya kahna
lakh bar imtihan-e-ishq kiya
na kaha ek bar kya kahna
bahs-e-girya mein abr bol gaya
dida-e-ashk-bar kya kahna
main to rota hun aap hanste hain
yahi hota hai yar kya kahna
saKHti-e-ishq jhel le ai dil
wah re burdbar kya kahna
mar gae hum magar na rahm aaya
wahi tewar hain yar kya kahna
KHar KHar-e-gham-e-dil-e-pur-dard
chiKH kar ai hazar kya kahna
kah to lalkar len raqibon ko
baat rakh li nigar kya kahna
josh-e-ulfat mein aur zabt ai dil
jabr par iKHtiyar kya kahna
yun to jo gul hai KHub hai lekin
tera ai gul-ezar kya kahna
ai 'saba' dawa-e-anal-haq hai
KHub soche ho yar kya kahna
