jo aashiq ki abru ka KHam dekhte hain

jo āshiq ki abrū kā ḳham dekhte haiñ

usī ḳham ko tāq-e-haram dekhte haiñ

samajh-būjh apnī to kuchh aur hī hai

sanam ko nahīñ ham sanam dekhte haiñ

nazāra hai dīdār-e-dilbar kā jin ko

vo kab sair-e-bāġh-e-iram dekhte haiñ

tamāshā nazar aaya qudrat kā nādir

kaheñ kyā ki yaaro jo ham dekhte haiñ

michī aañkh jab thī bahut sair dekhī

khulī chashm ab hai to kam dekhte haiñ

samajh lo haiñ mahrūm lazzāt-e-dīñ se

jo duniyā ke nāz-o-ni.am dekhte haiñ

jo aashiq ki abru ka KHam dekhte hain

usi KHam ko taq-e-haram dekhte hain

samajh-bujh apni to kuchh aur hi hai

sanam ko nahin hum sanam dekhte hain

nazara hai didar-e-dilbar ka jin ko

wo kab sair-e-bagh-e-iram dekhte hain

tamasha nazar aaya qudrat ka nadir

kahen kya ki yaro jo hum dekhte hain

michi aankh jab thi bahut sair dekhi

khuli chashm ab hai to kam dekhte hain

samajh lo hain mahrum lazzat-e-din se

jo duniya ke naz-o-niam dekhte hain
