mile mujhko gham se fursat to sunaun wo fasana

mile mujh ko ġham se fursat to sunā.ūñ vo fasāna

ki Tapak paḌe nazar se mai-e-ishrat-e-shabāna

yahī zindagī musībat yahī zindagī musarrat

yahī zindagī haqīqat yahī zindagī fasāna

kabhī dard kī tamannā kabhī koshish-e-mudāvā

kabhī bijliyoñ kī ḳhvāhish kabhī fikr-e-āshiyāna

mire qahqahoñ kī zad par kabhī gardisheñ jahāñ kī

mire āñsuoñ kī rau meñ kabhī talḳhī-e-zamāna

mirī rif.atoñ se larzāñ kabhī mehr-o-māh o anjum

mirī pastiyoñ se ḳhā.if kabhī auj-e-ḳhusravāna

kabhī maiñ huuñ tujh se nālāñ kabhī mujh se tū pareshāñ

kabhī maiñ tirā hadaf huuñ kabhī tū mirā nishāna

jise pā sakā na zāhid jise chhū sakā na suufī

vahī taar chheḌtā hai mirā soz-e-shā.irāna

mile mujh ko gham se fursat to sunaun wo fasana

ki Tapak paDe nazar se mai-e-ishrat-e-shabana

yahi zindagi musibat yahi zindagi musarrat

yahi zindagi haqiqat yahi zindagi fasana

kabhi dard ki tamanna kabhi koshish-e-mudawa

kabhi bijliyon ki KHwahish kabhi fikr-e-ashiyana

mere qahqahon ki zad par kabhi gardishen jahan ki

mere aansuon ki rau mein kabhi talKHi-e-zamana

meri rifaton se larzan kabhi mehr-o-mah o anjum

meri pastiyon se KHaif kabhi auj-e-KHusrawana

kabhi main hun tujh se nalan kabhi mujh se tu pareshan

kabhi main tera hadaf hun kabhi tu mera nishana

jise pa saka na zahid jise chhu saka na sufi

wahi tar chheDta hai mera soz-e-shairana
