munh na Dhanko ab to surat dekh li

muñh na Dhāñko ab to sūrat dekh lī

dekh lī ai hūr-e-tal.at dekh lī

shakl badlī aur sūrat ho ga.ī

ik nazar jis ne vo sūrat dekh lī

ek but sajda nahīñ kartā tujhe

bas ḳhudāyā terī qudrat dekh lī

hai ayaañ hāl-e-sag-e-as.hāb-e-kahf

jānvar kī ādamiyyat dekh lī

chaar din bhī to na tum se nibh sakī

aap kī sāhab-salāmat dekh lī

jānte the ham na iizā hijr kī

vo bhī sāhib kī badaulat dekh lī

ghūrte haiñ ab nigāh-e-qahr se

chaar din chashm-e-ināyat dekh lī

kyuuñ ajal ab zahr pisvātā huuñ maiñ

raah terī ek muddat dekh lī

khul ga.ī bande pe qadr-o-manzilat

thī jo sāhib kī haqīqat dekh lī

jā ke ghar jhūToñ na pūchhī baat tak

bas tirī jhūTī mohabbat dekh lī

us se kah 'ādat se jo vāqif na ho

dekh lī ḳhū terī ḳhaslat dekh lī

bahr-e-hastī meñ faqat misl-e-habāb

hai mujhe ik dam kī mohlat dekh lī

aap hairāñ hogā apne husn kā

aa.ine meñ gar vo sūrat dekh lī

chāñdnī rātoñ meñ chillātā phirā

chāñd sī jis ne vo sūrat dekh lī

phir vahī hai boriyā aur apnā faqr

chaar din kī jāh-o-hashmat dekh lī

kyuuñ churātā hai vo kāfir mujh se aañkh

kyā nigāh-e-chashm-e-hasrat dekh lī

yaad aayā 'rind' vo paimāñ-shikan

gar kahīñ bāham mohabbat dekh lī

munh na Dhanko ab to surat dekh li

dekh li ai hur-e-talat dekh li

shakl badli aur surat ho gai

ek nazar jis ne wo surat dekh li

ek but sajda nahin karta tujhe

bas KHudaya teri qudrat dekh li

hai ayan haal-e-sag-e-ashab-e-kahf

jaanwar ki aadamiyyat dekh li

chaar din bhi to na tum se nibh saki

aap ki sahab-salamat dekh li

jaante the hum na iza hijr ki

wo bhi sahib ki badaulat dekh li

ghurte hain ab nigah-e-qahr se

chaar din chashm-e-inayat dekh li

kyun ajal ab zahr piswata hun main

rah teri ek muddat dekh li

khul gai bande pe qadr-o-manzilat

thi jo sahib ki haqiqat dekh li

ja ke ghar jhuTon na puchhi baat tak

bas teri jhuTi mohabbat dekh li

us se kah 'adat se jo waqif na ho

dekh li KHu teri KHaslat dekh li

bahr-e-hasti mein faqat misl-e-habab

hai mujhe ek dam ki mohlat dekh li

aap hairan hoga apne husn ka

aaine mein gar wo surat dekh li

chandni raaton mein chillata phira

chand si jis ne wo surat dekh li

phir wahi hai boriya aur apna faqr

chaar din ki jah-o-hashmat dekh li

kyun churaata hai wo kafir mujh se aankh

kya nigah-e-chashm-e-hasrat dekh li

yaad aaya 'rind' wo paiman-shikan

gar kahin baham mohabbat dekh li
