na hum mahw-e-KHayal abru-e-KHam-dar sote hain
na ham mahv-e-ḳhayāl abrū-e-ḳham-dār sote haiñ
sipāhī haiñ zi-bas bāñdhe hue talvār sote haiñ
tumhārā sote sote chauñk paḌnā khab gayā dil meñ
ki aksar ḳhud-baḳhud ho ho ke ham bedār sote haiñ
ilāhī ham ko hai kis kā ḳhayāl-e-ḳhvāb-o-be-dārī
jo lākhoñ haar uThte haiñ hazāroñ yaar sote haiñ
nigāh-e-mast-e-sāqī meñ hai kyā dārā-e-be-hoshī
ki sāġhar lag rahā hai muñh se aur mai-ḳhvār sote haiñ
na kar vasvās dil meñ chal vahāñ 'mārūf' be-khaTke
ki darbān ūñghtā hai aur chaukīdār sote haiñ
na hum mahw-e-KHayal abru-e-KHam-dar sote hain
sipahi hain zi-bas bandhe hue talwar sote hain
tumhaara sote sote chaunk paDna khab gaya dil mein
ki aksar KHud-baKHud ho ho ke hum bedar sote hain
ilahi hum ko hai kis ka KHayal-e-KHwab-o-be-dari
jo lakhon haar uThte hain hazaron yar sote hain
nigah-e-mast-e-saqi mein hai kya dara-e-be-hoshi
ki saghar lag raha hai munh se aur mai-KHwar sote hain
na kar waswas dil mein chal wahan 'maruf' be-khaTke
ki darban unghta hai aur chaukidar sote hain
