apne ahwal pe hum aap the hairan baba
apne ahvāl pe ham aap the hairāñ baabā
aañkh dariyā thī magar dil thā bayābāñ baabā
ye vo aañsū haiñ jo andar kī taraf girte haiñ
hoñ bhī to ham nazar aate nahīñ giryāñ baabā
is qadar sadma hai kyuuñ ek dil-e-vīrāñ par
shahr ke shahr yahāñ ho ga.e vīrāñ baabā
ye shab o roz ke hañgāmoñ se sahme hue log
rahte haiñ mauj-e-sabā se bhī hirāsāñ baabā
ūñchī dīvāroñ se bāhar nikal aa.e to khulā
ham ne sīnoñ meñ banā rakkhe haiñ zindāñ baabā
ḳhush-gumāñ ho ke na baiTh in dar-o-dīvār se pūchh
ahl-e-ḳhāna bhī haiñ kuchh roz ke mehmāñ baabā
yaḳh havāoñ se mujhe aatī hai ḳhush-bū-e-bahār
shola-e-gul kī amiiñ hai ye zamistāñ baabā
gard-bād aa.eñ ki girdāb, bayābāñ ho ki bahr
zindagī hotī hai āp-apnī nigahbāñ baabā
ga.ī rut lauT bhī aatī hai 'ziyā' hausla rakh
ham ne dekhī haiñ siyah shāḳhoñ pe kaliyāñ baabā
apne ahwal pe hum aap the hairan baba
aankh dariya thi magar dil tha bayaban baba
ye wo aansu hain jo andar ki taraf girte hain
hon bhi to hum nazar aate nahin giryan baba
is qadar sadma hai kyun ek dil-e-viran par
shahr ke shahr yahan ho gae viran baba
ye shab o roz ke hangamon se sahme hue log
rahte hain mauj-e-saba se bhi hirasan baba
unchi diwaron se bahar nikal aae to khula
hum ne sinon mein bana rakkhe hain zindan baba
KHush-guman ho ke na baiTh in dar-o-diwar se puchh
ahl-e-KHana bhi hain kuchh roz ke mehman baba
yaKH hawaon se mujhe aati hai KHush-bu-e-bahaar
shola-e-gul ki amin hai ye zamistan baba
gard-baad aaen ki girdab, bayaban ho ki bahr
zindagi hoti hai aap-apni nigahban baba
gai rut lauT bhi aati hai 'ziya' hausla rakh
hum ne dekhi hain siyah shaKHon pe kaliyan baba
