banda ab nā-subūr hotā hai
afv hove qusūr hotā hai
vo zamīñ par qadam nahīñ rakhte
husn kā kyā ġhurūr hotā hai
daulat husn ke luTāne meñ
ḳharch kyā ai huzūr hotā hai
surma āñkhoñ meñ vo lagāte haiñ
dekhiye kyā futūr hotā hai
ham haiñ majbūr aap haiñ muḳhtār
kahiye kis se qusūr hotā hai
saaya us āftāb-tal.at kā
dīda-e-mah kā nuur hotā hai
ḳhaak hāsil hai us se murdoñ ko
zar jo sarf-e-qubūr hotā hai
mai-kashoñ meñ mudām ai zāhid
nāra-e-yā-ġhafūr hotā hai
vasl ho Tāliye na bose par
is se kyā ai huzūr hotā hai
fikr rakhte nahīñ haiñ dīvāne
bā.is-e-ġham shu.ūr hotā hai
partav-e-ruḳh se un kā jeb-e-qabā
dāman-e-koh-e-tūr hotā hai
ḳhuub āshiq kā paas karte ho
har ghaḌī duur duur hotā hai
ek hī nuur kā zamāne meñ
sau tarah se zuhūr hotā hai
mujh ko nāhaq halāl karte hai
ḳhuun ye be-qusūr hotā hai
kashtī-e-mai chalī to ai saaqī
bahr-e-ġham se ubuur hotā hai
ai 'sabā' jab bahār aatī hai
ham ko saudā zarūr hotā hai
banda ab na-subur hota hai
afw howe qusur hota hai
wo zamin par qadam nahin rakhte
husn ka kya ghurur hota hai
daulat husn ke luTane mein
KHarch kya ai huzur hota hai
surma aankhon mein wo lagate hain
dekhiye kya futur hota hai
hum hain majbur aap hain muKHtar
kahiye kis se qusur hota hai
saya us aaftab-talat ka
dida-e-mah ka nur hota hai
KHak hasil hai us se murdon ko
zar jo sarf-e-qubur hota hai
mai-kashon mein mudam ai zahid
nara-e-ya-ghafur hota hai
wasl ho Taliye na bose par
is se kya ai huzur hota hai
fikr rakhte nahin hain diwane
bais-e-gham shuur hota hai
partaw-e-ruKH se un ka jeb-e-qaba
daman-e-koh-e-tur hota hai
KHub aashiq ka pas karte ho
har ghaDi dur dur hota hai
ek hi nur ka zamane mein
sau tarah se zuhur hota hai
mujh ko nahaq halal karte hai
KHun ye be-qusur hota hai
kashti-e-mai chali to ai saqi
bahr-e-gham se ubur hota hai
ai 'saba' jab bahaar aati hai
hum ko sauda zarur hota hai
