aarti hum kya utaren husn-e-mala-mal ki

aartī ham kyā utāreñ husn-e-mālā-māl kī

bujh ga.ī har jot puujā ke sunahre thaal kī

tum to kyā dastak nahīñ detīñ havā.eñ tak yahāñ

dil hai yā sunsān kuTiyā hai kisī kañgāl kī

dekh ai gul-pairahan tere liye pardes se

kaun laayā hai havāoñ kī mo.attar pālkī

phir ugāne do yahāñ ham ko lahū ke kuchh gulāb

aap ne to shāhrāh-e-dil bahut pāmāl kī

tū muqaddas aañkh hai ya.anī hasīñ sūraj kī aañkh

aur maiñ gahrī guphā vo bhī kisī pātāl kī

tum pilāo apne hoñToñ se agar āb-e-hayāt

pheñk deñge ham surāhī ātishīñ sayyāl kī

gungunā kar tairtā hai jis meñ ḳhushbū kā badan

'prem' terī shā.irī vo jhiil hai sur-tāl kī

aarti hum kya utaren husn-e-mala-mal ki

bujh gai har jot puja ke sunahre thaal ki

tum to kya dastak nahin detin hawaen tak yahan

dil hai ya sunsan kuTiya hai kisi kangal ki

dekh ai gul-pairahan tere liye pardes se

kaun laya hai hawaon ki moattar palki

phir ugane do yahan hum ko lahu ke kuchh gulab

aap ne to shahrah-e-dil bahut pamal ki

tu muqaddas aankh hai yani hasin suraj ki aankh

aur main gahri gupha wo bhi kisi patal ki

tum pilao apne honTon se agar aab-e-hayat

phenk denge hum surahi aatishin sayyal ki

gunguna kar tairta hai jis mein KHushbu ka badan

'prem' teri shairi wo jhil hai sur-tal ki
