dil ke rahne ke liye shahr-e-KHayalat nahin
dil ke rahne ke liye shahr-e-ḳhayālāt nahīñ
sar-ba-sar hai nafī is meñ kahīñ isbāt nahīñ
rañj gar vaañ se to rāhat bhī vahīñ se aave
kaun kahtā hai yahāñ vahdat-e-āyāt nahīñ
mujh se kahte haiñ havā.ej se sarokār na rakh
merī tārīf ba-juz qissa-e-hājāt nahīñ
koī batlāo shab-o-roz pe kyā guzrī hai
raat ḳhāmosh nahīñ din meñ koī baat nahīñ
thī falātūñ kī jo jamhūr se rū-gardānī
ham samajhte the ḳhurāfāt ḳhurāfāt nahīñ
dil se guzre kabhī dushman ke liye fikr-e-zarar
vo vatīra nahīñ merā mire jazbāt nahīñ
ahd-e-be-mehr meñ ik chaal mohabbat bhī chale
shah meñ baazī hai mirī garche abhī maat nahīñ
sāhibā dekhnā had se na baḌhe yūrish-e-ġham
nā-tavāñ dil hai mirā ḳhema-e-sādāt nahīñ
dil ke rahne ke liye shahr-e-KHayalat nahin
sar-ba-sar hai nafi is mein kahin isbaat nahin
ranj gar wan se to rahat bhi wahin se aawe
kaun kahta hai yahan wahdat-e-ayat nahin
mujh se kahte hain hawaej se sarokar na rakh
meri tarif ba-juz qissa-e-hajat nahin
koi batlao shab-o-roz pe kya guzri hai
raat KHamosh nahin din mein koi baat nahin
thi falatun ki jo jamhur se ru-gardani
hum samajhte the KHurafat KHurafat nahin
dil se guzre kabhi dushman ke liye fikr-e-zarar
wo watira nahin mera mere jazbaat nahin
ahd-e-be-mehr mein ek chaal mohabbat bhi chale
shah mein bazi hai meri garche abhi mat nahin
sahiba dekhna had se na baDhe yurish-e-gham
na-tawan dil hai mera KHema-e-sadat nahin
