aql dauDai bahut kuchh to guman tak pahunche
aql dauḌā.ī bahut kuchh to gumāñ tak pahuñche
kuchh haqīqat bhī hai insāñ kī kahāñ tak pahuñche
ishq ke sho.ale bhaḌak kar rag-e-jāñ tak pahuñche
aag sī aag hai ye aag jahāñ tak pahuñche
laḌ ga.ī un se nazar khich ga.e abrū un ke
ma.arke ishq ke ab tīr-o-kamāñ tak pahuñche
dil se bāhar ho tirā raaz gavārā hai kise
ye koī baat nahīñ hai ki zabāñ tak pahuñche
maar le vo nigah-e-nāz to rutba ho buland
sar ho ūñchā mirā gar nok-e-sināñ tak pahuñche
koī dīvāngī-e-ishq kā qissa chheḌe
silsila us kā ḳhudā jaane kahāñ tak pahuñche
surḳhī-e-ḳhār-e-bayābāñ ye pata detī hai
ki udhar se tire dīvāne yahāñ tak pahuñche
riñd pur-kaif ba-yak-gardish-e-chashm-e-sāqī
ġhāyat-e-dā.era-e-kaun-o-makāñ tak pahuñche
ruḳh se parde ko haTā husn-e-yaqīñ tak pahuñchā
āḳhir insān huuñ yuuñ aql kahāñ tak pahuñche
raah meñ aur bhī dīvānoñ se milte julte
pūchhte pūchhte ham un ke makāñ tak pahuñche
sharbat-e-dīd na ho teġh kā paanī hī sahī
koī ThanDak to mire qalb-e-tapāñ tak pahuñche
le ga.e ishq kī baazī pa safā.ī 'betāb'
jaan par khel ga.e jān-e-jahāñ tak pahuñche
aql dauDai bahut kuchh to guman tak pahunche
kuchh haqiqat bhi hai insan ki kahan tak pahunche
ishq ke shoale bhaDak kar rag-e-jaan tak pahunche
aag si aag hai ye aag jahan tak pahunche
laD gai un se nazar khich gae abru un ke
marke ishq ke ab tir-o-kaman tak pahunche
dil se bahar ho tera raaz gawara hai kise
ye koi baat nahin hai ki zaban tak pahunche
mar le wo nigah-e-naz to rutba ho buland
sar ho uncha mera gar nok-e-sinan tak pahunche
koi diwangi-e-ishq ka qissa chheDe
silsila us ka KHuda jaane kahan tak pahunche
surKHi-e-KHar-e-bayaban ye pata deti hai
ki udhar se tere diwane yahan tak pahunche
rind pur-kaif ba-yak-gardish-e-chashm-e-saqi
ghayat-e-daera-e-kaun-o-makan tak pahunche
ruKH se parde ko haTa husn-e-yaqin tak pahuncha
aaKHir insan hun yun aql kahan tak pahunche
rah mein aur bhi diwanon se milte julte
puchhte puchhte hum un ke makan tak pahunche
sharbat-e-did na ho tegh ka pani hi sahi
koi ThanDak to mere qalb-e-tapan tak pahunche
le gae ishq ki bazi pa safai 'betab'
jaan par khel gae jaan-e-jahan tak pahunche
