kya ye aafat nahin azab nahin
kyā ye aafat nahīñ 'azāb nahīñ
dil kī hālat bahut ḳharāb nahīñ
buud pal pal kī be-hisābī hai
ki muhāsib nahīñ hisāb nahīñ
ḳhuub gaao bajāo aur piyo
in dinoñ shahr meñ janāb nahīñ
sab bhaTakte haiñ apnī galiyoñ meñ
tā-ba-ḳhud koī bāryāb nahīñ
tū hī merā savāl azal se hai
aur sājan tirā javāb nahīñ
hifz hai shams-e-bāzġha mujh ko
par mayassar vo māhtāb nahīñ
tujh ko dil-dard kā nahīñ ehsās
so mirī pinḌliyoñ ko daab nahīñ
nahīñ juḌtā ḳhayāl ko bhī ḳhayāl
ḳhvāb meñ bhī to koī ḳhvāb nahīñ
satar-e-mū us kī zer-e-nāf kī haa.e
jis kī chāqū-zanoñ ko taab nahīñ
kya ye aafat nahin 'azab nahin
dil ki haalat bahut KHarab nahin
bud pal pal ki be-hisabi hai
ki muhasib nahin hisab nahin
KHub gao bajao aur piyo
in dinon shahr mein janab nahin
sab bhaTakte hain apni galiyon mein
ta-ba-KHud koi baryab nahin
tu hi mera sawal azal se hai
aur sajan tera jawab nahin
hifz hai shams-e-bazgha mujh ko
par mayassar wo mahtab nahin
tujh ko dil-dard ka nahin ehsas
so meri pinDliyon ko dab nahin
nahin juDta KHayal ko bhi KHayal
KHwab mein bhi to koi KHwab nahin
satar-e-mu us ki zer-e-naf ki hae
jis ki chaqu-zanon ko tab nahin
