bu-e-gul chahte hain raqs-e-saba chahte hain
bū-e-gul chāhte haiñ raqs-e-sabā chāhte haiñ
band kamroñ ke makīñ taaza havā chāhte haiñ
muflisī hosh uḌā detī hai insānoñ ke
ye nasha kam ho to daulat kā nasha chāhte haiñ
kab kahā ham ne kisī zohra-jabīñ kī hai talāsh
jo hameñ DhūñD sake us kā patā chāhte haiñ
ye bhī manzūr nahīñ chāñd ke bāshindoñ ko
ham ghanī raat meñ miTTī kā diyā chāhte haiñ
ham se nārāz haiñ sūraj kī shuā.eñ to raheñ
ham to bas raushnī-e-ġhār-e-hirā chāhte haiñ
sab ko miltā hai ye andāz-e-faqīrāna kahāñ
ham pareshāñ haiñ magar sab kā bhalā chāhte haiñ
jin kā sar dekh ke kaase kā gumāñ ho 'ma.asūm'
vo bhī is daur meñ dastār-e-anā chāhte haiñ
bu-e-gul chahte hain raqs-e-saba chahte hain
band kamron ke makin taza hawa chahte hain
muflisi hosh uDa deti hai insanon ke
ye nasha kam ho to daulat ka nasha chahte hain
kab kaha hum ne kisi zohra-jabin ki hai talash
jo hamein DhunD sake us ka pata chahte hain
ye bhi manzur nahin chand ke bashindon ko
hum ghani raat mein miTTi ka diya chahte hain
hum se naraaz hain suraj ki shuaen to rahen
hum to bas raushni-e-ghaar-e-hira chahte hain
sab ko milta hai ye andaz-e-faqirana kahan
hum pareshan hain magar sab ka bhala chahte hain
jin ka sar dekh ke kase ka guman ho 'masum'
wo bhi is daur mein dastar-e-ana chahte hain
