huā vo ḳhūb-rū yuuñ be-hijāb āhista āhista

nazar dekhe hai jaise koī ḳhvāb āhista āhista

bane jaise kalī koī gulāb āhista āhista

yuuñ kuchh us shoḳh par aayā shabāb āhista āhista

baḌhā hai dard-e-dil aur iztirāb āhista āhista

hue āshiq giraftār-e-azāb āhista āhista

hai kaisā sehr ye mad.hosh kar ke tishna-lab rakkhā

pilā.ī us nazar ne jo sharāb āhista āhista

jafāoñ ke tasalsul meñ koī vaqfa zarūrī hai

divāna lā.egā sahne kī taab āhista āhista

misāl-e-chāk ho kar rah gayā gardāñ vajūd apnā

kisī ne yuuñ kiyā ḳhāna-ḳharāb āhista āhista

nibāhī dostī kuchh yuuñ hamārī bāda-noshī par

kare hai mohtasib bhī ehtisāb āhista āhista

na chāhā phir bhī jā pahuñche usī sahrā meñ dīvāne

dikhāyā us nazar ne yuuñ sarāb āhista āhista

huā jab ḳhatm sarmāya to phir raḳht-e-safar bāñdhā

chukāyā ziist kā ham ne hisāb āhista āhista

hua wo KHub-ru yun be-hijab aahista aahista

nazar dekhe hai jaise koi KHwab aahista aahista

bane jaise kali koi gulab aahista aahista

yun kuchh us shoKH par aaya shabab aahista aahista

baDha hai dard-e-dil aur iztirab aahista aahista

hue aashiq giraftar-e-azab aahista aahista

hai kaisa sehr ye madhosh kar ke tishna-lab rakkha

pilai us nazar ne jo sharab aahista aahista

jafaon ke tasalsul mein koi waqfa zaruri hai

diwana laega sahne ki tab aahista aahista

misal-e-chaak ho kar rah gaya gardan wajud apna

kisi ne yun kiya KHana-KHarab aahista aahista

nibahi dosti kuchh yun hamari baada-noshi par

kare hai mohtasib bhi ehtisab aahista aahista

na chaha phir bhi ja pahunche usi sahra mein diwane

dikhaya us nazar ne yun sarab aahista aahista

hua jab KHatm sarmaya to phir raKHt-e-safar bandha

chukaya zist ka hum ne hisab aahista aahista
