ab aap rah-e-dil jo kushada nahin rakhte
ab aap rah-e-dil jo kushāda nahīñ rakhte
ham bhī safar-e-jāñ kā irāda nahīñ rakhte
piinā ho to ik jura-e-zahrāb bahut hai
ham tishna-dahan tohmat-e-bāda nahīñ rakhte
ashkoñ se charāġhāñ hai shab-e-zīst so vo bhī
kotāhi-e-mizhgāñ se ziyāda nahīñ rakhte
ye gard-e-rah-e-shauq hī jam jaa.e badan par
rusvā haiñ ki ham koī labāda nahīñ rakhte
har gaam pe jugnū sā chamaktā hai jo dil meñ
ham is ke sivā mish.al-e-jāda nahīñ rakhte
surḳhī nahīñ phūloñ kī to zaḳhmoñ kī shafaq hai
dāmān-e-talab ham kabhī saada nahīñ rakhte
ab aap rah-e-dil jo kushada nahin rakhte
hum bhi safar-e-jaan ka irada nahin rakhte
pina ho to ek jura-e-zahrab bahut hai
hum tishna-dahan tohmat-e-baada nahin rakhte
ashkon se charaghan hai shab-e-zist so wo bhi
kotahi-e-mizhgan se ziyaada nahin rakhte
ye gard-e-rah-e-shauq hi jam jae badan par
ruswa hain ki hum koi labaada nahin rakhte
har gam pe jugnu sa chamakta hai jo dil mein
hum is ke siwa mishal-e-jada nahin rakhte
surKHi nahin phulon ki to zaKHmon ki shafaq hai
daman-e-talab hum kabhi sada nahin rakhte
