jab mile hai puchhta tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
jab mile hai pūchhtā tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
aah ye kaisī adā tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
daur-e-mushkil meñ gila aġhyār kā kaise karūñ
jab kahe ye āshnā tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
mālik-e-kursī thā to karte the jo jhuk kar salām
vo kaheñ jab se girā tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
jab kahā chāhat adū se asl meñ tauhīn-e-ishq
bevafā kahne lagā tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
chāhe jab phuslā.e mujh ko chāhūñ maiñ kuchh bhī agar
to kahe ye mah-laqā tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
dil hai asl-e-zindagī dene se pahle ġhair ko
pūchhne meñ kyā burā tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
banda-e-nāchīz aisā yaum-e-mahshar ko agar
kyā ajab pūchhe ḳhudā tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
jab kahā japte haiñ maalā ham to tere naam kī
hañs ke us ne kah diyā tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
dil meñ tasvīr-e-sanam hoñToñ pe hai nām-e-ḳhudā
maiñ sunūñ har dam sadā tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
va.ada-e-bosa kiyā lekin evaz meñ dī chapat
aur naḳhvat se kahā tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
āshiqī maslak vo 'anvar' jis meñ do bante haiñ ek
ye gunah hai pūchhnā tum kaun ho tam kaun ho
jab mile hai puchhta tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
aah ye kaisi ada tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
daur-e-mushkil mein gila aghyar ka kaise karun
jab kahe ye aashna tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
malik-e-kursi tha to karte the jo jhuk kar salam
wo kahen jab se gira tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
jab kaha chahat adu se asl mein tauhin-e-ishq
bewafa kahne laga tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
chahe jab phuslae mujh ko chahun main kuchh bhi agar
to kahe ye mah-laqa tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
dil hai asl-e-zindagi dene se pahle ghair ko
puchhne mein kya bura tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
banda-e-nachiz aisa yaum-e-mahshar ko agar
kya ajab puchhe KHuda tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
jab kaha japte hain mala hum to tere nam ki
hans ke us ne kah diya tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
dil mein taswir-e-sanam honTon pe hai nam-e-KHuda
main sunun har dam sada tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
wada-e-bosa kiya lekin ewaz mein di chapat
aur naKHwat se kaha tum kaun ho tum kaun ho
aashiqi maslak wo 'anwar' jis mein do bante hain ek
ye gunah hai puchhna tum kaun ho tam kaun ho
