aankhon mein jo baat ho gai hai

āñkhoñ meñ jo baat ho ga.ī hai

ik sharh-e-hayāt ho ga.ī hai

jab dil kī vafāt ho ga.ī hai

har chiiz kī raat ho ga.ī hai

ġham se chhuT kar ye ġham hai mujh ko

kyuuñ ġham se najāt ho ga.ī hai

muddat se ḳhabar milī na dil kī

shāyad koī baat ho ga.ī hai

jis shai pe nazar paḌī hai terī

tasvīr-e-hayāt ho ga.ī hai

ab ho mujhe dekhiye kahāñ sub.h

un zulfoñ meñ raat ho ga.ī hai

dil meñ tujh se thī jo shikāyat

ab ġham ke nikāt ho ga.ī hai

iqrār-e-gunāh-e-ishq sun lo

mujh se ik baat ho ga.ī hai

jo chiiz bhī mujh ko haath aa.ī

terī sauġhāt ho ga.ī hai

kyā jāniye maut pahle kyā thī

ab merī hayāt ho ga.ī hai

ghaTte ghaTte tirī ināyat

merī auqāt ho ga.ī hai

us chashm-e-siyah kī yaad yaksar

shām-e-zulmāt ho ga.ī hai

is daur meñ zindagī bashar kī

bīmār kī raat ho ga.ī hai

jiitī huī bāzī-e-mohabbat

khelā huuñ to maat ho ga.ī hai

miTne lagīñ zindagī kī qadreñ

jab ġham se najāt ho ga.ī hai

vo chāheñ to vaqt bhī badal jaa.e

jab aa.e haiñ raat ho ga.ī hai

duniyā hai kitnī be-Thikāna

āshiq kī barāt ho ga.ī hai

pahle vo nigāh ik kiran thī

ab barq-sifāt ho ga.ī hai

jis chiiz ko chhū diyā hai tū ne

ik barg-e-nabāt ho ga.ī hai

ikkā-dukkā sadā-e-zanjīr

zindāñ meñ raat ho ga.ī hai

ek ek sifat 'firāq' us kī

dekhā hai to zaat ho ga.ī hai

aankhon mein jo baat ho gai hai

ek sharh-e-hayat ho gai hai

jab dil ki wafat ho gai hai

har chiz ki raat ho gai hai

gham se chhuT kar ye gham hai mujh ko

kyun gham se najat ho gai hai

muddat se KHabar mili na dil ki

shayad koi baat ho gai hai

jis shai pe nazar paDi hai teri

taswir-e-hayat ho gai hai

ab ho mujhe dekhiye kahan subh

un zulfon mein raat ho gai hai

dil mein tujh se thi jo shikayat

ab gham ke nikat ho gai hai

iqrar-e-gunah-e-ishq sun lo

mujh se ek baat ho gai hai

jo chiz bhi mujh ko hath aai

teri saughat ho gai hai

kya jaaniye maut pahle kya thi

ab meri hayat ho gai hai

ghaTte ghaTte teri inayat

meri auqat ho gai hai

us chashm-e-siyah ki yaad yaksar

sham-e-zulmat ho gai hai

is daur mein zindagi bashar ki

bimar ki raat ho gai hai

jiti hui bazi-e-mohabbat

khela hun to mat ho gai hai

miTne lagin zindagi ki qadren

jab gham se najat ho gai hai

wo chahen to waqt bhi badal jae

jab aae hain raat ho gai hai

duniya hai kitni be-Thikana

aashiq ki baraat ho gai hai

pahle wo nigah ek kiran thi

ab barq-sifat ho gai hai

jis chiz ko chhu diya hai tu ne

ek barg-e-nabaat ho gai hai

ikka-dukka sada-e-zanjir

zindan mein raat ho gai hai

ek ek sifat 'firaq' us ki

dekha hai to zat ho gai hai
