hum jo ek lahr mein lahraate hue jhumte hain

ham jo ik lahr meñ lahrāte hue jhūmte haiñ

kyuuñ na aisā ho ki ham saath tire jhūmte haiñ

raqs-e-darvesh kā ye silsila duniyā se na joḌ

ham kisī aur hī lazzat ke liye jhūmte haiñ

aisī manzil pe le aayā hai mirā raqs mujhe

ab ka.ī silsile bhī saath mire jhūmte haiñ

Dol jaa.e na tire Dolne se partav-e-nūr

tere hamrāh ka.ī sham.a-kade jhūmte haiñ

zarā dekho to sahī ahl-e-mohabbat kī taraf

kitnī sarmastiyāñ āñkhoñ meñ liye jhūmte haiñ

raushnī raaz hai aisā ki samajh aane par

kitne sar ghūmte haiñ kitne diye jhūmte haiñ

maiñ akelā to nahīñ jhuum rahā huuñ 'sayyad'

taare bhī saath mire raat ga.e jhūmte haiñ

hum jo ek lahr mein lahraate hue jhumte hain

kyun na aisa ho ki hum sath tere jhumte hain

raqs-e-darwesh ka ye silsila duniya se na joD

hum kisi aur hi lazzat ke liye jhumte hain

aisi manzil pe le aaya hai mera raqs mujhe

ab kai silsile bhi sath mere jhumte hain

Dol jae na tere Dolne se partaw-e-nur

tere hamrah kai shama-kade jhumte hain

zara dekho to sahi ahl-e-mohabbat ki taraf

kitni sarmastiyan aankhon mein liye jhumte hain

raushni raaz hai aisa ki samajh aane par

kitne sar ghumte hain kitne diye jhumte hain

main akela to nahin jhum raha hun 'sayyad'

tare bhi sath mere raat gae jhumte hain
