jo ho sake to kabhi itni mehrbani kar
jo ho sake to kabhī itnī mehrbānī kar
uḌā ke ḳhaak mirī mujh ko āsmānī kar
phir us ke ba.ad ḳhudā jaane kab mayassar hoñ
ye chand lamhe mohabbat ke jāvedānī kar
ba-zor-e-teġh hukūmat kiyā nahīñ karte
jo ho sake to diloñ par bhī hukmarānī kar
ai raushnī ke payambar ki ai naqīb-e-nūr
lahū se apne charāġhoñ kī pāsbānī kar
maiñ aa.ina huuñ na utre kahīñ tirā chehra
na apne aap pe itrā na lan-tarānī kar
maiñ chal paḌā huuñ qadam se qadam milā mere
rafāqatoñ ke safar meñ na ānā-kānī kar
hamāre lams se paḌtī hai jaan murdoñ meñ
hamāre haath pe bai.at ai zindagānī kar
na maslahat kī tarāzū meñ taul lafzoñ ko
jo dil kahe vahī hoñToñ se tarjumānī kar
na yaad kar unheñ aasif vo pal jo biit ga.e
yahīñ pe dard-bharī ḳhatm vo kahānī kar
jo ho sake to kabhi itni mehrbani kar
uDa ke KHak meri mujh ko aasmani kar
phir us ke baad KHuda jaane kab mayassar hon
ye chand lamhe mohabbat ke jawedani kar
ba-zor-e-tegh hukumat kiya nahin karte
jo ho sake to dilon par bhi hukmarani kar
ai raushni ke payambar ki ai naqib-e-nur
lahu se apne charaghon ki pasbani kar
main aaina hun na utre kahin tera chehra
na apne aap pe itra na lan-tarani kar
main chal paDa hun qadam se qadam mila mere
rafaqaton ke safar mein na aana-kani kar
hamare lams se paDti hai jaan murdon mein
hamare hath pe baiat ai zindagani kar
na maslahat ki taraazu mein taul lafzon ko
jo dil kahe wahi honTon se tarjumani kar
na yaad kar unhen aasif wo pal jo bit gae
yahin pe dard-bhari KHatm wo kahani kar
