kabhi sahra kabhi gulzar bhi hai

kabhī sahrā kabhī gulzār bhī hai

mohabbat kaif bhī āzār bhī hai

merī palkoñ se aañsū chun ke dekho

har ik aañsū meñ nok-e-ḳhār bhī hai

chale jab rāh-e-haq par sochnā kyā

shajar yaañ koī sāya-dār bhī hai

yahāñ yūsuf bike haiñ kauḌiyoñ meñ

ye duniyā misr kā bāzār bhī hai

sabā ham-rāz-e-gul hotī hai lekin

ta.alluq bā.is-e-āzār bhī hai

kaho haq baat mandela kī mānind

agar kuchh jur.at-e-iz.hār bhī hai

vafā ke naam par dukh sahne vaalo

judā.ī marham-e-āzār bhī hai

thī us kī aañkh pur-nam vaqt-e-ruḳhsat

dil-e-ranjūr ab sarshār bhī hai

kabhi sahra kabhi gulzar bhi hai

mohabbat kaif bhi aazar bhi hai

meri palkon se aansu chun ke dekho

har ek aansu mein nok-e-KHar bhi hai

chale jab rah-e-haq par sochna kya

shajar yan koi saya-dar bhi hai

yahan yusuf bike hain kauDiyon mein

ye duniya misr ka bazar bhi hai

saba ham-raaz-e-gul hoti hai lekin

talluq bais-e-azar bhi hai

kaho haq baat mandela ki manind

agar kuchh jurat-e-izhaar bhi hai

wafa ke nam par dukh sahne walo

judai marham-e-azar bhi hai

thi us ki aankh pur-nam waqt-e-ruKHsat

dil-e-ranjur ab sarshaar bhi hai
