hua hai yun mohabbat ka asar aahista aahista

huā hai yuuñ mohabbat kā asar āhista āhista

idhar āhista āhista udhar āhista āhista

harīm-e-husn ke ādāb rakh pesh-e-nazar ai dil

dhaḌak āhista āhista guzar āhista āhista

mirī āñkhoñ meñ aa dil meñ utar phir ruuh meñ kho jā

magar āhista āhista magar āhista āhista

kisī kā aur bhī mujh par karam paiham hai be-pāyāñ

agar un tak bhī pahuñchī ye ḳhabar āhista āhista

yakāyak dekhne par tāb-e-nazzāra kahāñ hogī

uThā.eñ rū-ba-rū un ke nazar āhista āhista

batāte haiñ dar-o-dīvār ke bhī kaan hote haiñ

zabāñ se naam lo merā magar āhista āhista

ho mumkin to nishāt-o-kaif-e-shab ko bhuul hī jaao

vo dekho aa rahī hai ab sahar āhista āhista

Dhalī hai shab udhar bhī niiñd kā ġhalba huā taarī

jhukī jaatī haiñ palkeñ bhī idhar āhista āhista

ise to 'fauq' jhuknā thā yahīñ par aur bhī lekin

kahāñ merā jhukā jaatā hai sar āhista āhista

hua hai yun mohabbat ka asar aahista aahista

idhar aahista aahista udhar aahista aahista

harim-e-husn ke aadab rakh pesh-e-nazar ai dil

dhaDak aahista aahista guzar aahista aahista

meri aankhon mein aa dil mein utar phir ruh mein kho ja

magar aahista aahista magar aahista aahista

kisi ka aur bhi mujh par karam paiham hai be-payan

agar un tak bhi pahunchi ye KHabar aahista aahista

yakayak dekhne par tab-e-nazzara kahan hogi

uThaen ru-ba-ru un ke nazar aahista aahista

batate hain dar-o-diwar ke bhi kan hote hain

zaban se nam lo mera magar aahista aahista

ho mumkin to nishat-o-kaif-e-shab ko bhul hi jao

wo dekho aa rahi hai ab sahar aahista aahista

Dhali hai shab udhar bhi nind ka ghalba hua tari

jhuki jati hain palken bhi idhar aahista aahista

ise to 'fauq' jhukna tha yahin par aur bhi lekin

kahan mera jhuka jata hai sar aahista aahista
