KHuda bhi jaanta hai KHub jo makkar baiThe hain
ḳhudā bhī jāntā hai ḳhuub jo makkār baiThe haiñ
haram meñ sar-nigūñ kuchh qābil-e-finnār baiThe haiñ
gharoñ meñ saath baiThe haiñ sar-e-bāzār baiThe haiñ
naqāb apnoñ kā oḌhe āj-kal aġhyār baiThe haiñ
mohabbat kī nazar meñ jiit lī hai ham ne vo baazī
zamāne kī nazar meñ ham ki jis ko haar baiThe haiñ
ḳhatā ho jaa.e ham se jo koī to darguzar karnā
tumhārī bazm meñ ham aaj pahlī baar baiThe haiñ
zamīñ se yā falak se yā ki apnoñ se ki ġhairoñ se
batā.eñ kis tarah kis kis se ham bezār baiThe haiñ
yahī jamhūriyat kā naqs hai jo taḳht-e-shāhī par
kabhī makkār baiThe haiñ kabhī ġhaddār baiThe haiñ
adab kī mahfiloñ meñ ab kahāñ jamm-e-ġhafīr 'āzam'
yahāñ do-chār baiThe haiñ vahāñ do-chār baiThe haiñ
KHuda bhi jaanta hai KHub jo makkar baiThe hain
haram mein sar-nigun kuchh qabil-e-finnar baiThe hain
gharon mein sath baiThe hain sar-e-bazar baiThe hain
naqab apnon ka oDhe aaj-kal aghyar baiThe hain
mohabbat ki nazar mein jit li hai hum ne wo bazi
zamane ki nazar mein hum ki jis ko haar baiThe hain
KHata ho jae hum se jo koi to darguzar karna
tumhaari bazm mein hum aaj pahli bar baiThe hain
zamin se ya falak se ya ki apnon se ki ghairon se
bataen kis tarah kis kis se hum bezar baiThe hain
yahi jamhuriyat ka naqs hai jo taKHt-e-shahi par
kabhi makkar baiThe hain kabhi ghaddar baiThe hain
adab ki mahfilon mein ab kahan jamm-e-ghafir 'azam'
yahan do-chaar baiThe hain wahan do-chaar baiThe hain
