mahbub-e-KHuda ne tujhe nayab banaya

mahbūb-e-ḳhudā ne tujhe nāyāb banāyā

qad sarv kiyā ruḳh gul-e-mahtāb banāyā

jab kuchh na banī ishq ne betāb banāyā

ḳhud ban gayā sho.ala mujhe sīmāb banāyā

us husn ke dariyā ne jo phir kar mujhe dekhā

mauj-e-qadam-e-nāz ko girdāb banāyā

sarmast-e-shahādat haiñ tire ishq meñ saaqī

āb-e-dam-e-ḳhanjar ko mai-e-nāb banāyā

āgāh kiyā ishq ne qānūn-e-vafā se

jab nāḳhun-e-shamshīr ko mizrāb banāyā

sab uzv-e-badan sham-e-sifat bah ga.e gal kar

is sozish-e-dil ne mujhe sailāb banāyā

ik raat uḌaa.ī na mirī duḳhtar-e-raz se

saaqī ne bat-e-mai ko bhī surḳhāb banāyā

jism aisā damaktā hai ki kapḌe chamak uTThe

naino ko tire husn ne kamḳhāb banāyā

kab tālib-e-rāhat hue zaḳhmī-e-mohabbat

marham kī jo hājat huī tezāb banāyā

aariz ne kiyā sar-ba-zamīñ saare guloñ ko

qāmat ne har ik shāḳh ko mehrāb banāyā

ai 'bahr' bar-o-bahar meñ gardish rahe ham ko

qismat ne bagūlā tujhe girdāb banāyā

mahbub-e-KHuda ne tujhe nayab banaya

qad sarw kiya ruKH gul-e-mahtab banaya

jab kuchh na bani ishq ne betab banaya

KHud ban gaya shoala mujhe simab banaya

us husn ke dariya ne jo phir kar mujhe dekha

mauj-e-qadam-e-naz ko girdab banaya

sarmast-e-shahadat hain tere ishq mein saqi

aab-e-dam-e-KHanjar ko mai-e-nab banaya

aagah kiya ishq ne qanun-e-wafa se

jab naKHun-e-shamshir ko mizrab banaya

sab uzw-e-badan sham-e-sifat bah gae gal kar

is sozish-e-dil ne mujhe sailab banaya

ek raat uDai na meri duKHtar-e-raz se

saqi ne bat-e-mai ko bhi surKHab banaya

jism aisa damakta hai ki kapDe chamak uTThe

naino ko tere husn ne kamKHab banaya

kab talib-e-rahat hue zaKHmi-e-mohabbat

marham ki jo hajat hui tezab banaya

aariz ne kiya sar-ba-zamin sare gulon ko

qamat ne har ek shaKH ko mehrab banaya

ai 'bahr' bar-o-bahar mein gardish rahe hum ko

qismat ne bagula tujhe girdab banaya
