be-tābi-e-dil ne zār-pā kar
de de paTkā uThā uThā kar
ghar meñ da.avā na husn kā kar
yūsuf se nikal ke sāmnā kar
zulfoñ ko na chhoḌ tū baḌhā kar
nāzuk hai giregā jhoñk khā kar
baiThe jo vo shab naqāb uThā kar
bujhne lagī sham.a jhilmilā kar
barbād na kar tū aabrū ko
mānind-e-habāb sar uThā kar
us gul kī mizha ne maar Daalā
kāñTe kī tarah sukhā sukhā kar
be-tābi-e-dil agar dikhā.ūñ
bijlī rah jaa.e tilmilā kar
saffāk ne band band kaaTā
choTeñ mārīñ jhukā jhukā kar
allāh re sozish-e-dil ai yaar
maarā kis aag meñ jalā kar
paire koī ḳhaak bahr-e-ġham meñ
āḳhir Duubā maiñ Dhab-Dhabā kar
phabtī kahtī haiñ abr-e-tar ke
achchhī sūjhī mujhe rulā kar
vo mast haiñ arsh par Tike haath
nashe meñ gire jo laḌkhaḌā kar
gard-e-ġham ne zamīñ jhakā.ī
chhoḌā mujhe ḳhaak meñ milā kar
bose ke savāl par vo bigḌe
muñh kī khaa.ī zabāñ hilā kar
naala koī ban paḌā jo ham se
aflāk ko rakh diyā miTā kar
ḳhauf-e-dozaḳh se kāñptā huuñ
saaqī mujhe jaam de tapā kar
vo naza.a meñ haal sun ke ro.e
kaam aa.ī zabāñ laḌkhaḌā kar
qissa dil se uThā duī kā
parchhā ho jaa.e faisla kar
jab kuuch kiyā 'sabā' adam ko
rah jā.eñge yaar ḳhaak uḌā kar
be-tabi-e-dil ne zar-pa kar
de de paTka uTha uTha kar
ghar mein dawa na husn ka kar
yusuf se nikal ke samna kar
zulfon ko na chhoD tu baDha kar
nazuk hai girega jhonk kha kar
baiThe jo wo shab naqab uTha kar
bujhne lagi shama jhilmila kar
barbaad na kar tu aabru ko
manind-e-habab sar uTha kar
us gul ki mizha ne mar Dala
kanTe ki tarah sukha sukha kar
be-tabi-e-dil agar dikhaun
bijli rah jae tilmila kar
saffak ne band band kaTa
choTen marin jhuka jhuka kar
allah re sozish-e-dil ai yar
mara kis aag mein jala kar
paire koi KHak bahr-e-gham mein
aaKHir Duba main Dhab-Dhaba kar
phabti kahti hain abr-e-tar ke
achchhi sujhi mujhe rula kar
wo mast hain arsh par Tike hath
nashe mein gire jo laDkhaDa kar
gard-e-gham ne zamin jhakai
chhoDa mujhe KHak mein mila kar
bose ke sawal par wo bigDe
munh ki khai zaban hila kar
nala koi ban paDa jo hum se
aflak ko rakh diya miTa kar
KHauf-e-dozaKH se kanpta hun
saqi mujhe jam de tapa kar
wo naza mein haal sun ke roe
kaam aai zaban laDkhaDa kar
qissa dil se uTha dui ka
parchha ho jae faisla kar
jab kuch kiya 'saba' adam ko
rah jaenge yar KHak uDa kar
