munawwar ho ke kitni dastan-e-ashiqi aai

munavvar ho ke kitnī dāstān-e-āshiqī aa.ī

jahāñ tak zikr-e-ġham aayā nazar meñ raushnī aa.ī

tirī ik ik nazar le kar payām-e-zindagī aa.ī

mirī jānib se lekin kab mohabbat meñ kamī aa.ī

jabīn-e-shauq meñ jab koī shān-e-kāfirī aa.ī

to istiqbāl karne har qadam par bandagī aa.ī

ye jān-e-āshiqī hai is ko kis dil se judā kar duuñ

na jaane kitne ġham sah kar to mujh tak bekasī aa.ī

zahe qismat ki us ko dard-e-mahrūmī pasand aayā

mohabbat aish-e-do-ālam ko Thukrātī huī aa.ī

ye aalam hai to phir zabt-e-mohabbat se bhī kyā hāsil

zabāñ par un kā naam aayā ki āñkhoñ meñ namī aa.ī

kisī sūrat meñ ho ye dil kī nisbat chhup nahīñ saktī

mire rone pe āḳhir ik tumhīñ ko kyoñ hañsī aa.ī

munawwar ho ke kitni dastan-e-ashiqi aai

jahan tak zikr-e-gham aaya nazar mein raushni aai

teri ek ek nazar le kar payam-e-zindagi aai

meri jaanib se lekin kab mohabbat mein kami aai

jabin-e-shauq mein jab koi shan-e-kafiri aai

to istiqbaal karne har qadam par bandagi aai

ye jaan-e-ashiqi hai is ko kis dil se juda kar dun

na jaane kitne gham sah kar to mujh tak bekasi aai

zahe qismat ki us ko dard-e-mahrumi pasand aaya

mohabbat aish-e-do-alam ko Thukraati hui aai

ye aalam hai to phir zabt-e-mohabbat se bhi kya hasil

zaban par un ka nam aaya ki aankhon mein nami aai

kisi surat mein ho ye dil ki nisbat chhup nahin sakti

mere rone pe aaKHir ek tumhin ko kyon hansi aai
