dard to maujud hai dil mein dawa ho ya na ho
dard to maujūd hai dil meñ davā ho yā na ho
bandagī hālat se zāhir hai ḳhudā ho yā na ho
jhūmtī hai shāḳh-e-gul khilte haiñ ġhunche dam-ba-dam
bā-asar gulshan meñ tahrīk-e-sabā ho yā na ho
vajd meñ laate haiñ mujh ko bulbuloñ ke zamzame
aap ke nazdīk bā-ma.anī sadā ho yā na ho
kar diyā hai zindagī ne bazm-e-hastī meñ sharīk
us kā kuchh maqsūd koī mudda.ā ho yā na ho
kyuuñ civil-surgeon kā aanā roktā hai ham-nashīñ
is meñ hai ik baat honour kī shifā ho yā na ho
maulvī sāhib na chhoḌeñge ḳhudā go baḳhsh de
gher hī leñge police vaale sazā ho yā na ho
membarī se aap par to vārnish ho jā.egī
qaum kī hālat meñ kuchh is se jilā ho yā na ho
mo'tariz kyuuñ ho agar samjhe tumheñ sayyād dil
aaise gesū huuñ to shub.h daam kā ho yā na ho
dard to maujud hai dil mein dawa ho ya na ho
bandagi haalat se zahir hai KHuda ho ya na ho
jhumti hai shaKH-e-gul khilte hain ghunche dam-ba-dam
ba-asar gulshan mein tahrik-e-saba ho ya na ho
wajd mein late hain mujh ko bulbulon ke zamzame
aap ke nazdik ba-mani sada ho ya na ho
kar diya hai zindagi ne bazm-e-hasti mein sharik
us ka kuchh maqsud koi muddaa ho ya na ho
kyun ciwil-surgeon ka aana rokta hai ham-nashin
is mein hai ek baat honour ki shifa ho ya na ho
maulwi sahib na chhoDenge KHuda go baKHsh de
gher hi lenge police wale saza ho ya na ho
membari se aap par to warnish ho jaegi
qaum ki haalat mein kuchh is se jila ho ya na ho
mo'tariz kyun ho agar samjhe tumhein sayyaad dil
aaise gesu hun to shubh dam ka ho ya na ho
