KHat-e-zist mein koi jast hai yahi raqs hai
ḳhat-e-zīst meñ koī jast hai yahī raqs hai
ye jahān sochoñ meñ mast hai yahī raqs hai
ye badan gulāb hai jabr kā kisī sabr kā
mirā azm gardish-e-hast hai yahī raqs hai
vo jo nok-e-ḳhār pe jam ga.e kahīñ tham ga.e
ye jo raḳht dil meñ alast hai yahī raqs hai
ye salāmtī kahīñ TuuT kar kahīñ phuuT kar
magar ab to fat.h-e-shikast hai yahī raqs hai
kisī jang meñ kisī rang meñ kisī sang meñ
ik ajiib sā dar-o-bast hai yahī raqs hai
baḌī chāshnī sī hai zahr meñ kisī lahr meñ
ye badan to zaḳhm-parast hai yahī raqs hai
maiñ rukā nahīñ kisī raah meñ na panāh meñ
mirī jang dast-ba-dast hai yahī raqs hai
maiñ vajūd-e-pul ke jamāl meñ kisī haal meñ
mirā naam chaudah august hai yahī raqs hai
KHat-e-zist mein koi jast hai yahi raqs hai
ye jahan sochon mein mast hai yahi raqs hai
ye badan gulab hai jabr ka kisi sabr ka
mera azm gardish-e-hast hai yahi raqs hai
wo jo nok-e-KHar pe jam gae kahin tham gae
ye jo raKHt dil mein alast hai yahi raqs hai
ye salamti kahin TuT kar kahin phuT kar
magar ab to fath-e-shikast hai yahi raqs hai
kisi jang mein kisi rang mein kisi sang mein
ek ajib sa dar-o-bast hai yahi raqs hai
baDi chashni si hai zahr mein kisi lahr mein
ye badan to zaKHm-parast hai yahi raqs hai
main ruka nahin kisi rah mein na panah mein
meri jang dast-ba-dast hai yahi raqs hai
main wajud-e-pul ke jamal mein kisi haal mein
mera nam chaudah august hai yahi raqs hai
