KHud ko kya KHun rulaoge batao to sahi

ḳhud ko kyā ḳhuun rulāoge batāo to sahī

tum mujhe kaise bhulāoge batāo to sahī

aise chup-chāp tumheñ maiñ nahīñ jaane dūñgā

tum kabhī lauT ke aaoge batāo to sahī

muddat-e-hijr mukarrar mujhe manzūr magar

apne siine se lagāoge batāo to sahī

yaad meñ merī sabhī kaam se ġhāfil ho kar

chaar aañsū bhī bahāoge batāo to sahī

ratjage mere muqaddar meñ likhe haiñ tum ne

aur ḳhud ḳhvāb sajāoge batāo to sahī

tum se pahle bhī ka.ī log mujhe chhoḌ ga.e

maiñ jo rūThūñgā manāoge batāo to sahī

tum kisī ko jo kabhī merā havāla doge

merī ġhazleñ bhī sunāoge batāo to sahī

jab davā kaam na kar pā.egī mujh par 'ārif'

tum masīhā.ī ko aaoge batāo to sahī

KHud ko kya KHun rulaoge batao to sahi

tum mujhe kaise bhulaoge batao to sahi

aise chup-chap tumhein main nahin jaane dunga

tum kabhi lauT ke aaoge batao to sahi

muddat-e-hijr mukarrar mujhe manzur magar

apne sine se lagaoge batao to sahi

yaad mein meri sabhi kaam se ghafil ho kar

chaar aansu bhi bahaoge batao to sahi

ratjage mere muqaddar mein likhe hain tum ne

aur KHud KHwab sajaoge batao to sahi

tum se pahle bhi kai log mujhe chhoD gae

main jo ruThunga manaoge batao to sahi

tum kisi ko jo kabhi mera hawala doge

meri ghazlen bhi sunaoge batao to sahi

jab dawa kaam na kar paegi mujh par 'arif'

tum masihai ko aaoge batao to sahi
