ai aarzu-e-shauq tujhe kuchh KHabar hai aaj

ai ārzū-e-shauq tujhe kuchh ḳhabar hai aaj

husn-e-nazar-navāz harīf-e-nazar hai aaj

har rāzdāñ hai hairatī-e-jalva-hā-e-rāz

jo bā-ḳhabar hai aaj vahī be-ḳhabar hai aaj

kyā dekhiye ki dekh hī sakte nahīñ use

apnī nigāh-e-shauq hijāb-e-nazar hai aaj

dil bhī nahīñ hai mahram-e-asrār-e-ishq dost

ye rāzdāñ bhī halqa-e-bairūn-e-dar hai aaj

kal tak thī dil meñ hasrat-e-āzādī-e-qafas

āzād aaj haiñ to ġham-e-bāl-o-par hai aaj

ai aarzu-e-shauq tujhe kuchh KHabar hai aaj

husn-e-nazar-nawaz harif-e-nazar hai aaj

har raazdan hai hairati-e-jalwa-ha-e-raaz

jo ba-KHabar hai aaj wahi be-KHabar hai aaj

kya dekhiye ki dekh hi sakte nahin use

apni nigah-e-shauq hijab-e-nazar hai aaj

dil bhi nahin hai mahram-e-asrar-e-ishq dost

ye raazdan bhi halqa-e-bairun-e-dar hai aaj

kal tak thi dil mein hasrat-e-azadi-e-qafas

aazad aaj hain to gham-e-baal-o-par hai aaj
