chah kar bhi tujhe hum tere shanasa na hue

chaah kar bhī tujhe ham tere shanāsā na hue

jurm ye hai ki tire shahr meñ paidā na hue

yuuñ bhī gardan-zadanī the ki bahut bolte the

us pe ye bhī ki tire vāste rusvā na hue

tishna rakhnā kabhī bastī ko bahā le jaanā

yā'nī bas qahr-e-ḳhudā ho ga.e dariyā na hue

phuul se rang hue rang se ḳhushbū meñ Dhale

ruup badle haiñ bahut phir bhī tamāshā na hue

aise dīvānoñ ke qadmoñ ko zamīñ chūmtī hai

bastiyoñ meñ jo rahe sadqa-e-sahrā na hue

kūche kūche meñ jo phaile rahe ḳhushbū kī tarah

tere 'bāqar' se to vo raaz bhī ifshā na hue

chah kar bhi tujhe hum tere shanasa na hue

jurm ye hai ki tere shahr mein paida na hue

yun bhi gardan-zadani the ki bahut bolte the

us pe ye bhi ki tere waste ruswa na hue

tishna rakhna kabhi basti ko baha le jaana

ya'ni bas qahr-e-KHuda ho gae dariya na hue

phul se rang hue rang se KHushbu mein Dhale

rup badle hain bahut phir bhi tamasha na hue

aise diwanon ke qadmon ko zamin chumti hai

bastiyon mein jo rahe sadqa-e-sahra na hue

kuche kuche mein jo phaile rahe KHushbu ki tarah

tere 'baqar' se to wo raaz bhi ifsha na hue
