abr chhaega to barsat bhi ho jaegi

abr chhā.egā to barsāt bhī ho jā.egī

diid hogī to mulāqāt bhī ho jā.egī

ai dil-e-husn-e-talab mashq-e-tasavvur tū baḌhā

phir jo chāhegā vahī baat bhī ho jā.egī

sar jhukā.e hue baiThe ho abas bāda-kasho

jaam uThāoge to barsāt bhī ho jā.egī

aaj us ne na.e andāz se dekhā hai mujhe

ġhāliban aaj koī baat bhī ho jā.egī

be-ḳhudī sirf dalīl-e-ġham-e-pinhāñ hī nahīñ

ek din kāshif-e-hālāt bhī ho jā.egī

bul-havas dahr ke rañgīn manāzir se na khel

din huā hai to yahāñ raat bhī ho jā.egī

jaan de kar tirī mahfil meñ kabhī jān-e-'azīz'

jaur kī tere mukāfāt bhī ho jā.egī

abr chhaega to barsat bhi ho jaegi

did hogi to mulaqat bhi ho jaegi

ai dil-e-husn-e-talab mashq-e-tasawwur tu baDha

phir jo chahega wahi baat bhi ho jaegi

sar jhukae hue baiThe ho abas baada-kasho

jam uThaoge to barsat bhi ho jaegi

aaj us ne nae andaz se dekha hai mujhe

ghaaliban aaj koi baat bhi ho jaegi

be-KHudi sirf dalil-e-gham-e-pinhan hi nahin

ek din kashif-e-haalat bhi ho jaegi

bul-hawas dahr ke rangin manazir se na khel

din hua hai to yahan raat bhi ho jaegi

jaan de kar teri mahfil mein kabhi jaan-e-'aziz'

jaur ki tere mukafat bhi ho jaegi
