KHamosh dab-e-ishq ko bulbul liye hue

ḳhāmosh dāb-e-ishq ko bulbul liye hue

gul mast hai chaman meñ piyāla piye hue

imsāl fasl-e-gul meñ vo phir chaak ho ga.e

agle baras ke the jo garebāñ siye hue

ham bhī havā meñ ik gul-e-nau-ḳhez-e-husn ke

barsoñ phire haiñ chaak garebāñ kiye hue

dokāneñ mai-faroshoñ kī kab se paḌī haiñ band

rah rah ga.e haiñ qufl diye ke diye hue

ishq-e-sanam hai is meñ haiñ ḳhuddāriyāñ zarūr

ai dil ḳhudā ke vāste ḳhud ko liye hue

murshid hai ishq ham haiñ murīd us janāb ke

barsoñ guzar ga.e haiñ piyāla piye hue

vo aa ke muskurā.e is andāz-o-nāz se

khul khul ga.e jo zaḳhm-e-jigar the siye hue

roz-e-azal se daḳhl vajūd o adam meñ hai

donoñ ilāqe haiñ ye hamāre liye hue

haiñ but-parast dair meñ haajī haiñ ka.aba meñ

tālib razā-e-dost ke dharne diye hue

maidān-e-imtihāñ meñ hameñ bhej dījiye

kahiye unheñ ye kaam haiñ jin ke kiye hue

nāmard apne vaadī meñ rakkhegā kyā qadam

sar ho muhimm-e-ishq na be-sar diye hue

kis kis tarah kā bhes badal kar pahuñchte haiñ

āshiq hue na aap ke bahrūpiye hue

hāsil huā butoñ se na āshiq ko mudda.ā

raushan kabhī na dair meñ ghē ke diye hue

ta.avīz o naqsh kuchh nahīñ karte asar vahāñ

saare ye khaTkhaTe haiñ hamāre kiye hue

ik shab huī nasīb-e-sulaimāñ na jo parī

āñkhoñ meñ phirtī haiñ jo vo āñkheñ nashīlyañ

do botaloñ kī mastī hai be-mai piye hue

bāñdhā jo chust chust mazāmīn-e-nau ke saath

bandish se merī tañg bahut qāfiye hue

āshiq mizāj rote haiñ paḌh paḌh ke beshtar

ash.ār 'rind' ke na hue marsiye hue

KHamosh dab-e-ishq ko bulbul liye hue

gul mast hai chaman mein piyala piye hue

imsal fasl-e-gul mein wo phir chaak ho gae

agle baras ke the jo gareban siye hue

hum bhi hawa mein ek gul-e-nau-KHez-e-husn ke

barson phire hain chaak gareban kiye hue

dokanen mai-faroshon ki kab se paDi hain band

rah rah gae hain qufl diye ke diye hue

ishq-e-sanam hai is mein hain KHuddariyan zarur

ai dil KHuda ke waste KHud ko liye hue

murshid hai ishq hum hain murid us janab ke

barson guzar gae hain piyala piye hue

wo aa ke muskurae is andaz-o-naz se

khul khul gae jo zaKHm-e-jigar the siye hue

roz-e-azal se daKHl wajud o adam mein hai

donon ilaqe hain ye hamare liye hue

hain but-parast dair mein haji hain kaba mein

talib raza-e-dost ke dharne diye hue

maidan-e-imtihan mein hamein bhej dijiye

kahiye unhen ye kaam hain jin ke kiye hue

namard apne wadi mein rakkhega kya qadam

sar ho muhimm-e-ishq na be-sar diye hue

kis kis tarah ka bhes badal kar pahunchte hain

aashiq hue na aap ke bahrupiye hue

hasil hua buton se na aashiq ko muddaa

raushan kabhi na dair mein ghee ke diye hue

tawiz o naqsh kuchh nahin karte asar wahan

sare ye khaTkhaTe hain hamare kiye hue

ek shab hui nasib-e-sulaiman na jo pari

hum roz soe us ko baghal mein liye hue

aankhon mein phirti hain jo wo aankhen nashilyan

do botalon ki masti hai be-mai piye hue

bandha jo chust chust mazamin-e-nau ke sath

bandish se meri tang bahut qafiye hue

aashiq mizaj rote hain paDh paDh ke beshtar

ashaar 'rind' ke na hue marsiye hue
