agar fitrat ka har andaz bebakana ho jae

agar fitrat kā har andāz bebākāna ho jaa.e

hujūm-e-rañg-o-bū se aadmī dīvāna ho jaa.e

karam kaisā sitam se bhī na vo begāna ho jaa.e

maiñ Dartā huuñ mohabbat meñ kahīñ aisā na ho jaa.e

mujhe us anjuman meñ baar pā kar is pe ḳhadsha hai

mirā andāz-e-betābī na gustāḳhāna ho jaa.e

nigāh-e-mast saaqī kī tilism-e-rañg-o-mastī hai

kahīñ paimāna ban jaa.e kahīñ mai-ḳhāna ban jaa.e

yahāñ bhī kuchh nigāheñ tishna-e-dīdār haiñ saaqī

idhar bhī ek daur-e-nargis-e-mastāna ho jaa.e

maiñ us mahfil kī tohmat kis tarah āḳhir uThā.ūñgā

ḳhamoshī bhī jahāñ afsāna-dar-afsāna ho jaa.e

naqāb ulTe hue ik roz agar vo ḳhud chale aa.eñ

siyah-ḳhāna mirā 'māhir' tajallī-ḳhāna ho jaa.e

agar fitrat ka har andaz bebakana ho jae

hujum-e-rang-o-bu se aadmi diwana ho jae

karam kaisa sitam se bhi na wo begana ho jae

main Darta hun mohabbat mein kahin aisa na ho jae

mujhe us anjuman mein bar pa kar is pe KHadsha hai

mera andaz-e-betabi na gustaKHana ho jae

nigah-e-mast saqi ki tilism-e-rang-o-masti hai

kahin paimana ban jae kahin mai-KHana ban jae

yahan bhi kuchh nigahen tishna-e-didar hain saqi

idhar bhi ek daur-e-nargis-e-mastana ho jae

main us mahfil ki tohmat kis tarah aaKHir uThaunga

KHamoshi bhi jahan afsana-dar-afsana ho jae

naqab ulTe hue ek roz agar wo KHud chale aaen

siyah-KHana mera 'mahir' tajalli-KHana ho jae
