har lamha agar gurez-pa hai

har lamha agar gurez-pā hai

tū kyuuñ mire dil meñ bas gayā hai

chilman meñ gulāb sambhal rahā hai

ye tū hai ki shoḳhi-e-sabā hai

jhuktī nazreñ batā rahī haiñ

mere liye tū bhī sochtā hai

maiñ tere kahe se chup huuñ lekin

chup bhī tū bayān-e-mudda.ā hai

har des kī apnī apnī bolī

sahrā kā sukūt bhī sadā hai

ik umr ke baa'd muskurā kar

tū ne to mujhe rulā diyā hai

us vaqt kā hisāb kyā duuñ

jo tere baġhair kaT gayā hai

maazī kī sunā.ūñ kyā kahānī

lamha lamha guzar gayā hai

mat maañg duā.eñ jab mohabbat

terā merā muāmla hai

ab tujh se jo rabt hai to itnā

terā hī ḳhudā mirā ḳhudā hai

rone ko ab ashk bhī nahīñ haiñ

yā ishq ko sabr aa gayā hai

ab kis kī talāsh meñ haiñ jhoñke

maiñ ne to diyā bujhā diyā hai

kuchh khel nahīñ hai ishq karnā

ye zindagī bhar kā rat-jagā hai

har lamha agar gurez-pa hai

tu kyun mere dil mein bas gaya hai

chilman mein gulab sambhal raha hai

ye tu hai ki shoKHi-e-saba hai

jhukti nazren bata rahi hain

mere liye tu bhi sochta hai

main tere kahe se chup hun lekin

chup bhi tu bayan-e-muddaa hai

har des ki apni apni boli

sahra ka sukut bhi sada hai

ek umr ke ba'd muskura kar

tu ne to mujhe rula diya hai

us waqt ka hisab kya dun

jo tere baghair kaT gaya hai

mazi ki sunaun kya kahani

lamha lamha guzar gaya hai

mat mang duaen jab mohabbat

tera mera muamla hai

ab tujh se jo rabt hai to itna

tera hi KHuda mera KHuda hai

rone ko ab ashk bhi nahin hain

ya ishq ko sabr aa gaya hai

ab kis ki talash mein hain jhonke

main ne to diya bujha diya hai

kuchh khel nahin hai ishq karna

ye zindagi bhar ka rat-jaga hai
