bahut kaThin hai bikharne ka hausla rakhna

bahut kaThin hai bikharne kā hausla rakhnā

sabab tumhīñ ho magar tum se kyā gila rakhnā

na jaane kaun se mausam se sābiqa paḌ jaa.e

hamāre haq meñ duāoñ kā silsila rakhnā

ḳhudā kare ki use apnī baat yaad rahe

gayā hai kah ke mujhe apnā dar khulā rakhnā

mire baġhair rutoñ ko vo kaise kāTegā

isī ḳhayāl meñ bas ḳhud ko mubtalā rakhnā

ye zindagī baḌī mushkil se raam hotī hai

kabhī mile to mohabbat se rābta rakhnā

tirā sulūk ho aisā to kaise mumkin hai

shahad zabāñ pe to lahje meñ shukriya rakhnā

maiñ be-niyāz mujhe kyā ġharaz natīje se

mirā to kaam hai bas apnā mudda.ā rakhnā

jahāñ shikast ho aur vāpsī kī ḳhvāhish bhī

us ek pal ko mire naam se bachā rakhnā

bahut kaThin hai bikharne ka hausla rakhna

sabab tumhin ho magar tum se kya gila rakhna

na jaane kaun se mausam se sabiqa paD jae

hamare haq mein duaon ka silsila rakhna

KHuda kare ki use apni baat yaad rahe

gaya hai kah ke mujhe apna dar khula rakhna

mere baghair ruton ko wo kaise kaTega

isi KHayal mein bas KHud ko mubtala rakhna

ye zindagi baDi mushkil se ram hoti hai

kabhi mile to mohabbat se rabta rakhna

tera suluk ho aisa to kaise mumkin hai

shahad zaban pe to lahje mein shukriya rakhna

main be-niyaz mujhe kya gharaz natije se

mera to kaam hai bas apna muddaa rakhna

jahan shikast ho aur wapsi ki KHwahish bhi

us ek pal ko mere nam se bacha rakhna
