jaun kya munh le ke main wo bad-guman ho jaega

jā.ūñ kyā muñh le ke maiñ vo bad-gumāñ ho jā.egā

rañg ke uḌne se ishq us par ayaañ ho jā.egā

aish-e-bazm-e-be-ḳhudī josh-e-fuġhāñ ho jā.egā

ham kahāñ hoñge jo rāz-e-ġham ayaañ ho jā.egā

dūsrā aalam bane to ho sake taskīn-e-husn

ab hai jitnā ye to sarf-e-imtihāñ ho jā.egā

zo.af baḌhte baḌhte zor-e-nā-tavāñ ho jā.egā

merī ḳhāmoshī ko zālim jor-e-be-jā se na chheḌ

varna zabt-e-dil tirī zid se fuġhāñ ho jā.egā

shauq se ġhairoñ meñ jaa.e maiñ na hūñgā bad-gumāñ

ḳhū-e-bad se ḳhud vo apnā pāsbāñ ho jā.egā

dil-nashīñ hai ālam-e-zauq-e-asīrī kā ḳhayāl

ab dil-e-sayyād apnā āshiyāñ ho jā.egā

ġham se mere ghar meñ gunjā.ish nahīñ hai aish kī

jaun kya munh le ke main wo bad-guman ho jaega

rang ke uDne se ishq us par ayan ho jaega

aish-e-bazm-e-be-KHudi josh-e-fughan ho jaega

hum kahan honge jo raaz-e-gham ayan ho jaega

dusra aalam bane to ho sake taskin-e-husn

ab hai jitna ye to sarf-e-imtihan ho jaega

ta-ajal pahunchaegi ye na-tawani hijr mein

zoaf baDhte baDhte zor-e-na-tawan ho jaega

meri KHamoshi ko zalim jor-e-be-ja se na chheD

warna zabt-e-dil teri zid se fughan ho jaega

shauq se ghairon mein jae main na hunga bad-guman

KHu-e-bad se KHud wo apna pasban ho jaega

dil-nashin hai aalam-e-zauq-e-asiri ka KHayal

ab dil-e-sayyaad apna aashiyan ho jaega

gham se mere ghar mein gunjaish nahin hai aish ki

naghma-KHwan bhi aaega to nauha-KHwan ho jaega

mausam-e-baran mein kyun hai dasht ka qasd ai junun

aaj-kal to dasht apna hi makan ho jaega

KHubi-e-guftar se samjhega kaun us ka jawab

hashr sara mahw-e-andaz-e-bayan ho jaega

kya yaqin tha hum jo pahunchenge wahan ai josh-e-ashk

wahm apna baDh ke us ka pasban ho jaega

kah sakega kuchh bhi ai 'raghib' na us KHamosh se

be-dahan ke samne tu be-zaban ho jaega
