ab KHak to kiya hai dil ko jala jala kar

ab ḳhaak to kiyā hai dil ko jalā jalā kar

karte ho itnī bāteñ kyuuñ tum banā banā kar

āshiq ke ghar kī tum ne buniyād ko biThāyā

ġhairoñ ko paas apne har dam biThā biThā kar

ye bhī koī sitam hai ye bhī koī karam hai

ġhairoñ pe lutf karnā ham ko dikhā dikhā kar

ai but na mujh ko hargiz kūche se ab uThānā

aayā huuñ yaañ talak maiñ zālim ḳhudā ḳhudā kar

detā huuñ maiñ idhar jī apnā taḌap taḌap kar

dekhe hai vo udhar ko āñkheñ churā churā kar

koī āshnā nahīñ hai aisā ki bā-vafā ho

kahte ho tum ye bāteñ ham ko sunā sunā kar

jaltā thā siina merā ai sham.a tis pe tū ne

duunī lagā.ī ātish aañsū bahā bahā kar

ik hī nigāh kar kar siine se le gayā vo

har-chand dil ko rakkhā ham ne chhupā chhupā kar

jur.at ne āḳhir apne jī ko bhī ab gañvāyā

in be-muravvatoñ se dil ko lagā lagā kar

ab KHak to kiya hai dil ko jala jala kar

karte ho itni baaten kyun tum bana bana kar

aashiq ke ghar ki tum ne buniyaad ko biThaya

ghairon ko pas apne har dam biTha biTha kar

ye bhi koi sitam hai ye bhi koi karam hai

ghairon pe lutf karna hum ko dikha dikha kar

ai but na mujh ko hargiz kuche se ab uThana

aaya hun yan talak main zalim KHuda KHuda kar

deta hun main idhar ji apna taDap taDap kar

dekhe hai wo udhar ko aankhen chura chura kar

koi aashna nahin hai aisa ki ba-wafa ho

kahte ho tum ye baaten hum ko suna suna kar

jalta tha sina mera ai shama tis pe tu ne

duni lagai aatish aansu baha baha kar

ek hi nigah kar kar sine se le gaya wo

har-chand dil ko rakkha hum ne chhupa chhupa kar

jurat ne aaKHir apne ji ko bhi ab ganwaya

in be-murawwaton se dil ko laga laga kar
