kyon KHafa ho mere dilbar ye batao mujhko

kyoñ ḳhafā ho mire dilbar ye batāo mujh ko

aise ḳhāmosh to rah kar na satāo mujh ko

soch kar bas yahī din raat taḌaptā huuñ maiñ

vaqt aa.e vo gale phir se lagāo mujh ko

be-qarārī ke sabab chain nahīñ miltā hai

jo bhī ahvāl haiñ dil ke vo sunāo mujh ko

dūriyāñ kis liye aa.ī haiñ hamāre mābain

kuchh to bolo ki na ab aise satāo mujh ko

ruuTh jaane kā sabab kyā hai batā kar jaao

chhoḌ kar aise taḌaptā to na jaao mujh ko

dard siine meñ uThā hai mire jaanī dekho

dekhne maut se pahle chale aao mujh ko

girte 'haidar' ke ye āñkhoñ se pukāre motī

paas ik baar mujhe apne bulāo mujh ko

kyon KHafa ho mere dilbar ye batao mujh ko

aise KHamosh to rah kar na satao mujh ko

soch kar bas yahi din raat taDapta hun main

waqt aae wo gale phir se lagao mujh ko

be-qarari ke sabab chain nahin milta hai

jo bhi ahwal hain dil ke wo sunao mujh ko

duriyan kis liye aai hain hamare mabain

kuchh to bolo ki na ab aise satao mujh ko

ruTh jaane ka sabab kya hai bata kar jao

chhoD kar aise taDapta to na jao mujh ko

dard sine mein uTha hai mere jaani dekho

dekhne maut se pahle chale aao mujh ko

girte 'haidar' ke ye aankhon se pukare moti

pas ek bar mujhe apne bulao mujh ko
