chaltī rahī us kūche meñ talvār hamesha
lāshe hī nikalte rahe do-chār hamesha
gil khulte raheñ chahchahe kartā rahe bulbul
yā-rab rahe ābād ye gulzār hamesha
ham riñd hue shāhid-e-maqsūd se vāsil
jhagḌe meñ rahe kāfir o dīñ-dār hamesha
yaañ tuḳhm-e-tamannā se ugā kartā hai laala
gul khāte haiñ har fasl meñ do-chār hamesha
taḌpā kareñ kūche meñ tire saikḌoñ kushte
rañgīñ rahe ḳhuuñ se tirī talvār hamesha
dīvāne haiñ maa.il hoñ agar hūr-o-parī ke
jo dekh rahe huuñ tirā dīdār hamesha
mujh tishna-e-dīdār ko kis roz chhakāyā
pyāsā hī rahā ḳhuuñ kā vo ḳhuñḳhār hamesha
mushtāqoñ ne tere na liyā kauḌiyoñ ke mol
biktā rahā yūsuf sar-e-bāzār hamesha
hai zulf-e-musalsal tirī yā dām-e-balā hai
ho rahte haiñ do-chār giraftār hamesha
kyūñ-kar tū masīhā huā mash.hūr jahāñ meñ
marte haiñ tire haath se bīmār hamesha
hañgāme na.e roz huā karte haiñ barpā
fitne hī uThātī hai vo raftār hamesha
ai 'rind' junūñ meñ bhī na sahrā ko ga.e ham
khāyā kiye patthar sar-e-bāzār hamesha
chalti rahi us kuche mein talwar hamesha
lashe hi nikalte rahe do-chaar hamesha
gil khulte rahen chahchahe karta rahe bulbul
ya-rab rahe aabaad ye gulzar hamesha
hum rind hue shahid-e-maqsud se wasil
jhagDe mein rahe kafir o din-dar hamesha
yan tuKHm-e-tamanna se uga karta hai lala
gul khate hain har fasl mein do-chaar hamesha
taDpa karen kuche mein tere saikDon kushte
rangin rahe KHun se teri talwar hamesha
diwane hain mail hon agar hur-o-pari ke
jo dekh rahe hun tera didar hamesha
mujh tishna-e-didar ko kis roz chhakaya
pyasa hi raha KHun ka wo KHunKHar hamesha
mushtaqon ne tere na liya kauDiyon ke mol
bikta raha yusuf sar-e-bazar hamesha
hai zulf-e-musalsal teri ya dam-e-bala hai
ho rahte hain do-chaar giraftar hamesha
kyun-kar tu masiha hua mashhur jahan mein
marte hain tere hath se bimar hamesha
hangame nae roz hua karte hain barpa
fitne hi uThati hai wo raftar hamesha
ai 'rind' junun mein bhi na sahra ko gae hum
khaya kiye patthar sar-e-bazar hamesha
