lab se dil ka dil se lab ka rabta koi nahin

lab se dil kā dil se lab kā rābta koī nahīñ

hasrateñ hī hasrateñ haiñ mudda.ā koī nahīñ

harf-e-ġham-e-nā-paid hai āñkhoñ meñ nam nāpaid hai

dard kā sail-e-ravāñ hai rāstā koī nahīñ

apne man kā aks hai apnī sadā kī bāzgasht

dost dushman āshnā nā-āshnā koī nahīñ

sab ke sab apne garebānoñ meñ haiñ Duube hue

gul se gul tak rishta-e-mauj-e-sabā koī nahīñ

hāl-e-zār aisā ki dekhe se taras aane lage

sañg-dil itne ki hoñToñ par duā koī nahīñ

kyā koī rākib nahīñ ham meñ samand-e-vaqt kā

naqsh-e-pā sab haiñ to kyā zanjīr-e-pā koī nahīñ

maiñ to ā.īna huuñ sab kī shakl kā ā.īna-dār

bazm meñ lekin mujhe pahchāntā koī nahīñ

dil ke Duube se miTī dast-e-shanāvar kī sakat

mauj kī tuġhyāniyoñ se Dūbtā koī nahīñ

aañkh mīchoge to kānoñ se guzar aa.egā husn

sail ko dīvār-o-dar se vāsta koī nahīñ

arsh kī chāhat ho yā pātāl kā shauq-e-safar

ibtidā kī der hai phir intihā koī nahīñ

kārvāñ 'ḳhurshīd' jaane kis guphā meñ kho gayā

raushnī kaisī ki sahrā meñ sadā koī nahīñ

lab se dil ka dil se lab ka rabta koi nahin

hasraten hi hasraten hain muddaa koi nahin

harf-e-gham-e-na-paid hai aankhon mein nam napaid hai

dard ka sail-e-rawan hai rasta koi nahin

apne man ka aks hai apni sada ki bazgasht

dost dushman aashna na-ashna koi nahin

sab ke sab apne garebanon mein hain Dube hue

gul se gul tak rishta-e-mauj-e-saba koi nahin

haal-e-zar aisa ki dekhe se taras aane lage

sang-dil itne ki honTon par dua koi nahin

kya koi rakib nahin hum mein samand-e-waqt ka

naqsh-e-pa sab hain to kya zanjir-e-pa koi nahin

main to aaina hun sab ki shakl ka aaina-dar

bazm mein lekin mujhe pahchanta koi nahin

dil ke Dube se miTi dast-e-shanawar ki sakat

mauj ki tughyaniyon se Dubta koi nahin

aankh michoge to kanon se guzar aaega husn

sail ko diwar-o-dar se wasta koi nahin

arsh ki chahat ho ya patal ka shauq-e-safar

ibtida ki der hai phir intiha koi nahin

karwan 'KHurshid' jaane kis gupha mein kho gaya

raushni kaisi ki sahra mein sada koi nahin
