ab dil pe yahi hai jo dukhan chhoD na jaana

ab dil pe yahī hai jo dukhan chhoḌ na jaanā

jone u dukhan khan ke ratan chhoḌ na jaanā

yogan bhare dilbar u nazar-bāz u majlis

u phuul u bulbul u chaman chhoḌ na jaanā

j dost jo hai jot ho diide kuuñ dukhan kī

so yuuñ kahīñ har-dam jo ham chhoḌ na jaanā

gar koī baḳhshtā hai bulā kar iram in.aam

bulbul ke achchhe man meñ jo ban chhoḌ na jaanā

saT khan na ki junūñ laal har yak mulk na bhagnā

junūñ suur gagan ya.anī vatan chhoḌ na jaanā

taqdīr kahāñ khīñch lijāgī so na jaano

pan jiiv ke gul-lot jo tan chhoḌ na jaanā

'bahrī' kuuñ dukhan yuuñ hai ki junūñ nal kuuñ daman hai

pas nal kuuñ hai lāzim jo daman chhoḌ na jaanā

ab dil pe yahi hai jo dukhan chhoD na jaana

jone u dukhan khan ke ratan chhoD na jaana

yogan bhare dilbar u nazar-baz u majlis

u phul u bulbul u chaman chhoD na jaana

j dost jo hai jot ho dide kun dukhan ki

so yun kahin har-dam jo hum chhoD na jaana

gar koi baKHshta hai bula kar iram inam

bulbul ke achchhe man mein jo ban chhoD na jaana

saT khan na ki junun lal har yak mulk na bhagna

junun sur gagan yani watan chhoD na jaana

taqdir kahan khinch lijagi so na jaano

pan jiw ke gul-lot jo tan chhoD na jaana

'bahri' kun dukhan yun hai ki junun nal kun daman hai

pas nal kun hai lazim jo daman chhoD na jaana
