mera uske pas-e-diwar ghar hota to kya hota

mirā us ke pas-e-dīvār ghar hotā to kyā hotā

qazā se ai falak gar is qadar hotā to kyā hotā

janāze par mire us shoḳh ko laayā hai tū āḳhir

agar ai ishq kuchh tujh meñ asar hotā to kyā hotā

huā behosh bilkul aah us kī aamad aamad meñ

gar aane se maiñ us ke bā-ḳhabar hotā to kyā hotā

isī aalam meñ haiñ ye lutf ai dil ishq-bāzī ke

agar bāġh-e-jināñ meñ bul-bashar hotā to kyā hotā

tajallī to huī muusā ko par merī tarah vaa.iz

hamesha jalva-gar har ik shajar hotā to kyā hotā

hunar-mandoñ ko tere haath se hai zindagī mushkil

jo tujh meñ bhī koī ai dil hunar hotā to kyā hotā

kiyā badnām ik aalam ne 'ġhamgīñ' pāk-bāzī meñ

jo maiñ terī tarah se bad-nazar hotā to kyā hotā

mera us ke pas-e-diwar ghar hota to kya hota

qaza se ai falak gar is qadar hota to kya hota

janaze par mere us shoKH ko laya hai tu aaKHir

agar ai ishq kuchh tujh mein asar hota to kya hota

hua behosh bilkul aah us ki aamad aamad mein

gar aane se main us ke ba-KHabar hota to kya hota

isi aalam mein hain ye lutf ai dil ishq-bazi ke

agar bagh-e-jinan mein bul-bashar hota to kya hota

tajalli to hui musa ko par meri tarah waiz

hamesha jalwa-gar har ek shajar hota to kya hota

hunar-mandon ko tere hath se hai zindagi mushkil

jo tujh mein bhi koi ai dil hunar hota to kya hota

kiya badnam ek aalam ne 'ghamgin' pak-bazi mein

jo main teri tarah se bad-nazar hota to kya hota
