jaan dete hain magar izhaar hum karte nahin
jaan dete haiñ magar iz.hār ham karte nahīñ
ya.anī tash.hīr-e-salīb-o-dār ham karte nahīñ
apne dushman ko bhī lalkāreñge aa kar sāmne
pusht se chūñki kisī par vaar ham karte nahīñ
ho rahā hai har taraf turfa tamāsha roz-o-shab
umr ko ab bar-sar-e-paikār ham karte nahīñ
jab tumhāre shahr kā har zarra zarra hai aziiz
kaun kahtā hai ki tum se pyaar ham karte nahīñ
hai zamāna kuchh zamāne kī ravish kuchh aur hai
ḳhud ko rusvā yuuñ sar-e-bāzār ham karte nahīñ
naam kī apne tamannā yā sile kī aarzū
log karte haiñ magar 'ansār' ham karte nahīñ
jaan dete hain magar izhaar hum karte nahin
yani tashhir-e-salib-o-dar hum karte nahin
apne dushman ko bhi lalkarenge aa kar samne
pusht se chunki kisi par war hum karte nahin
ho raha hai har taraf turfa tamasha roz-o-shab
umr ko ab bar-sar-e-paikar hum karte nahin
jab tumhaare shahr ka har zarra zarra hai aziz
kaun kahta hai ki tum se pyar hum karte nahin
hai zamana kuchh zamane ki rawish kuchh aur hai
KHud ko ruswa yun sar-e-bazar hum karte nahin
nam ki apne tamanna ya sile ki aarzu
log karte hain magar 'ansar' hum karte nahin
