jite-ji ke aashna hain phir kisi ka kaun hai
jīte-jī ke āshnā haiñ phir kisī kā kaun hai
naam ke apne huā karte haiñ apnā kaun hai
jān-e-jāñ tere sivā rashk-e-masīhā kaun hai
maar kar Thokar jilā de mujh ko aisā kaun hai
ye siyah ḳhema hai kis kā is meñ lailā kaun hai
chamber-e-aflāk ke parde meñ baiThā kaun hai
ham na kahte the ki saudā zulf kā achchhā nahīñ
dekhiye to ab sar-e-bāzār rusvā kaun hai
vo to hai be-nūr aur ye nuur se mā'mūr hai
chashm ko nargis kahegā aisā andhā kaun hai
dam-ba-dam har baat meñ karte ho ThanDī garmiyāñ
aap kī ukhḌī huī bātoñ pe jamtā kaun hai
vādī-e-vahshat meñ bhī ham-rāh haiñ āh-o-fuġhāñ
apne hamdam saath haiñ ai jaan tanhā kaun hai
ḳhair hai ai mehrbāñ kis ne unheñ sīdhā kyā
aap kyuuñ bal karte haiñ zulfoñ se uljhā kaun hai
duḳhtar-e-raz sach batā terī nazar kis par paḌī
TaTTiyoñ kī aaḌ meñ se kis ko taakā kaun hai
aaj maqtal meñ khaḌe kahte haiñ vo ḳhanjar-ba-kaf
bol uTThe chāhne vaalā hamārā kaun hai
chaar din jo kuchh tamāshā dekhnā hai dekh le
sair ko phir gulshan-e-duniyā meñ aatā kaun hai
bāñdh kar teġh o kafan jaate haiñ us qātil ke paas
ham bhī dekheñ rokne vaalā hamārā kaun hai
kyā tajāhul hai ki vo farmāte haiñ aġhyār se
maiñ nahīñ pahchāntā mutlaq ki 'āġhā' kaun hai
jite-ji ke aashna hain phir kisi ka kaun hai
nam ke apne hua karte hain apna kaun hai
jaan-e-jaan tere siwa rashk-e-masiha kaun hai
mar kar Thokar jila de mujh ko aisa kaun hai
ye siyah KHema hai kis ka is mein laila kaun hai
chamber-e-aflak ke parde mein baiTha kaun hai
hum na kahte the ki sauda zulf ka achchha nahin
dekhiye to ab sar-e-bazar ruswa kaun hai
wo to hai be-nur aur ye nur se ma'mur hai
chashm ko nargis kahega aisa andha kaun hai
dam-ba-dam har baat mein karte ho ThanDi garmiyan
aap ki ukhDi hui baaton pe jamta kaun hai
wadi-e-wahshat mein bhi ham-rah hain aah-o-fughan
apne hamdam sath hain ai jaan tanha kaun hai
KHair hai ai mehrban kis ne unhen sidha kya
aap kyun bal karte hain zulfon se uljha kaun hai
duKHtar-e-raz sach bata teri nazar kis par paDi
TaTTiyon ki aaD mein se kis ko taka kaun hai
aaj maqtal mein khaDe kahte hain wo KHanjar-ba-kaf
bol uTThe chahne wala hamara kaun hai
chaar din jo kuchh tamasha dekhna hai dekh le
sair ko phir gulshan-e-duniya mein aata kaun hai
bandh kar tegh o kafan jate hain us qatil ke pas
hum bhi dekhen rokne wala hamara kaun hai
kya tajahul hai ki wo farmate hain aghyar se
main nahin pahchanta mutlaq ki 'agha' kaun hai
