hai lekin ajnabi aisa nahin hai
hai lekin ajnabī aisā nahīñ hai
vo chehra jo abhī dekhā nahīñ hai
bahar-sūrat hai har sūrat izāfī
nazar aatā hai jo vaisā nahīñ hai
ise kahte haiñ andoh-e-ma.ānī
lab-e-naġhma gul-e-naġhma nahīñ hai
lahū meñ mere gardish kar rahā hai
abhī vo harf jo likkhā nahīñ hai
hujūm-e-tishnagāñ hai aur dariyā
samajhtā hai koī pyāsā nahīñ hai
ajab merā qabīla hai ki jis meñ
koī mere qabīle kā nahīñ hai
jahāñ tum ho vahāñ saaya hai merā
jahāñ maiñ huuñ vahāñ saaya nahīñ hai
sar-e-dāmān-e-sahrā khil rahā hai
magar vo phuul jo merā nahīñ hai
mujhe vo shaḳhs zinda kar gayā hai
jise ḳhud apnā andāza nahīñ hai
mohabbat meñ 'rasā' khoyā hī kyā thā
jo ye kahte ki kuchh paayā nahīñ hai
hai lekin ajnabi aisa nahin hai
wo chehra jo abhi dekha nahin hai
bahar-surat hai har surat izafi
nazar aata hai jo waisa nahin hai
ise kahte hain andoh-e-maani
lab-e-naghma gul-e-naghma nahin hai
lahu mein mere gardish kar raha hai
abhi wo harf jo likkha nahin hai
hujum-e-tishnagan hai aur dariya
samajhta hai koi pyasa nahin hai
ajab mera qabila hai ki jis mein
koi mere qabile ka nahin hai
jahan tum ho wahan saya hai mera
jahan main hun wahan saya nahin hai
sar-e-daman-e-sahra khil raha hai
magar wo phul jo mera nahin hai
mujhe wo shaKHs zinda kar gaya hai
jise KHud apna andaza nahin hai
mohabbat mein 'rasa' khoya hi kya tha
jo ye kahte ki kuchh paya nahin hai
