jis tarah pyasa koi aab-e-rawan tak pahunche

jis tarah pyāsā koī āb-e-ravāñ tak pahuñche

DhūñDte DhūñDte ham is ke makāñ tak pahuñche

shart itnī thī mohabbat meñ badan tak pahuñcho

ham junūñ-pesha magar yaar kī jaañ tak pahuñche

terī chaukhaT pe palaT aa.e tire dīvāne

be-amāñ ya.anī usī jā-e-amāñ tak pahuñche

chal paḌe haiñ na.ī tahzīb ke raste ham log

paanī kab dekhiye ḳhatre ke nishāñ tak pahuñche

shab kī jaagī huī āñkhoñ kī tapish pūchhte ho

ḳhaak ho jaa.e agar ḳhvāb yahāñ tak pahuñche

ḳhair ham to vahīñ Thahre haiñ ki bichhḌe the jahāñ

qāfile vaalo batāo ki kahāñ tak pahuñche

kāsa-e-jism uThā laa.e tire shahr ke log

aur ye kahne lage ḳhema-e-jāñ tak pahuñche

ishq meñ ġhair yaqīnī nahīñ hotā kuchh bhī

baat kuchh bhī nahīñ bas aap gumāñ tak pahuñche

jis tarah pyasa koi aab-e-rawan tak pahunche

DhunDte DhunDte hum is ke makan tak pahunche

shart itni thi mohabbat mein badan tak pahuncho

hum junun-pesha magar yar ki jaan tak pahunche

teri chaukhaT pe palaT aae tere diwane

be-aman yani usi ja-e-aman tak pahunche

chal paDe hain nai tahzib ke raste hum log

pani kab dekhiye KHatre ke nishan tak pahunche

shab ki jagi hui aankhon ki tapish puchhte ho

KHak ho jae agar KHwab yahan tak pahunche

KHair hum to wahin Thahre hain ki bichhDe the jahan

qafile walo batao ki kahan tak pahunche

kasa-e-jism uTha lae tere shahr ke log

aur ye kahne lage KHema-e-jaan tak pahunche

ishq mein ghair yaqini nahin hota kuchh bhi

baat kuchh bhi nahin bas aap guman tak pahunche
