kis se puchhun hae main is dil ke samjhane ki tarah

kis se pūchhūñ haa.e maiñ is dil ke samjhāne kī tarah

saath tiflāñ ke lagā phirtā hai dīvāne kī tarah

yaar ke paañv pe sar rakh jī ko apne dījiye

is se behtar aur nahīñ hotī hai mar jaane kī tarah

kab pilāvegā tū ai saaqī mujhe jām-e-sharāb

jāñ-ba-lab huuñ aarzū meñ mai kī paimāne kī tarah

mast aatā hai piye mai aaj vo qātil mirā

kuchh nazar aatī hai mujh ko apne jī jaane kī tarah

sham.a-rū ke gird phirtī haiñ sadā qurbān ho

chashm merī par lagā mizhgāñ ke parvāne kī tarah

baaġh meñ gul ne kiyā apne ta.iiñ lohūluhān

dekh us ġhuncha-dahan ke paan ke khāne kī tarah

fasl-e-gul aa.ī hai 'tābāñ' ghar meñ kyā baiThā hai yuuñ

kar garebāñ chaak jā sahrā meñ dīvāne kī tarah

kis se puchhun hae main is dil ke samjhane ki tarah

sath tiflan ke laga phirta hai diwane ki tarah

yar ke panw pe sar rakh ji ko apne dijiye

is se behtar aur nahin hoti hai mar jaane ki tarah

kab pilawega tu ai saqi mujhe jam-e-sharab

jaan-ba-lab hun aarzu mein mai ki paimane ki tarah

mast aata hai piye mai aaj wo qatil mera

kuchh nazar aati hai mujh ko apne ji jaane ki tarah

shama-ru ke gird phirti hain sada qurban ho

chashm meri par laga mizhgan ke parwane ki tarah

bagh mein gul ne kiya apne tain lohuluhan

dekh us ghuncha-dahan ke pan ke khane ki tarah

fasl-e-gul aai hai 'taban' ghar mein kya baiTha hai yun

kar gareban chaak ja sahra mein diwane ki tarah
