jawani harif-e-sitam hai to kya gham

javānī harīf-e-sitam hai to kyā ġham

taġhayyur hī aglā qadam hai to kyā ġham

har ik shai hai faanī to ye ġham bhī faanī

mirī aañkh gar aaj nam hai to kyā ġham

mire haath suljhā hī leñge kisī din

abhī zulf-e-hastī meñ ḳham hai to kyā ġham

ḳhushī kuchh tire hī liye to nahīñ hai

agar haq mirā aaj kam hai to kyā ġham

mire ḳhuuñ pasīne se gulshan baneñge

tire bas meñ abr-e-karam hai to kyā ġham

mirā kārvāñ baḌh rahā hai baḌhegā

agar ruḳh pe gard-e-alam hai to kyā ġham

ye maanā ki rahbar nahīñ hai misālī

magar apne siine meñ dam hai to kyā ġham

mirā kārvāñ aap rahbar hai apnā

ye shīrāza jab tak baham hai to kyā ġham

tire paas tabal o alam haiñ to hoñge

mire paas zor-e-qalam hai to kyā ġham

jawani harif-e-sitam hai to kya gham

taghayyur hi agla qadam hai to kya gham

har ek shai hai fani to ye gham bhi fani

meri aankh gar aaj nam hai to kya gham

mere hath suljha hi lenge kisi din

abhi zulf-e-hasti mein KHam hai to kya gham

KHushi kuchh tere hi liye to nahin hai

agar haq mera aaj kam hai to kya gham

mere KHun pasine se gulshan banenge

tere bas mein abr-e-karam hai to kya gham

mera karwan baDh raha hai baDhega

agar ruKH pe gard-e-alam hai to kya gham

ye mana ki rahbar nahin hai misali

magar apne sine mein dam hai to kya gham

mera karwan aap rahbar hai apna

ye shiraaza jab tak baham hai to kya gham

tere pas tabal o alam hain to honge

mere pas zor-e-qalam hai to kya gham
