kar na tu baat jawedani ki

kar na tū baat jāvedānī kī

intihā tai hai har kahānī kī

bhaap honā to terī qismat hai

ek tasvīr hai tū paanī kī

kuchh taġhayyur se ḳhauf khāte haiñ

kuchh ibādat kareñ ravānī kī

ham pe husn-e-hurūf hai zaa.e.a

ham ziyārat pe hai ma.ānī kī

kyā sahī aur kyā ġhalat hogā

baat hai terī tarjumānī kī

tum karo baat zard pattoñ kī

ham kare baat shāḳh-e-fānī kī

umr se kyā bahār kā lenā

nahīñ muhtāj ye javānī kī

kar na tu baat jawedani ki

intiha tai hai har kahani ki

bhap hona to teri qismat hai

ek taswir hai tu pani ki

kuchh taghayyur se KHauf khate hain

kuchh ibaadat karen rawani ki

hum pe husn-e-huruf hai zaea

hum ziyarat pe hai maani ki

kya sahi aur kya ghalat hoga

baat hai teri tarjumani ki

tum karo baat zard patton ki

hum kare baat shaKH-e-fani ki

umr se kya bahaar ka lena

nahin muhtaj ye jawani ki
