nihatte aadmi pe baDh ke KHanjar tan leti hai
nihatte aadmī pe baḌh ke ḳhanjar taan letī hai
mohabbat meñ na paḌ jaanā mohabbat jaan letī hai
use ḳhāmosh dekhūñ to sunā.ī kuchh nahīñ detā
dikhā.ī kuchh nahīñ detā nazar jab kaan letī hai
udāsī āshnā hai is qadar aahaT se merī ab
jahāñ se bhī guzartā huuñ mujhe pahchān letī hai
ḳhushī to de hī detī hai tirī duniyā mujhe lā kar
magar badle meñ vo us ke mirā īmān letī hai
bas ik lamha lagātī hai ḳhushī aa kar guzarne meñ
udāsī aa.e to sadiyoñ kī miTTī chhān letī hai
barābar baañT detī hai vo sāñseñ ḳhāk-zādoñ meñ
na-jāne zindagī kis kī dukāñ se bhaan letī hai
isī ke saath chaltī hai ye manzil par pahuñchne tak
ye rāh-e-ġham jise apnā musāfir jaan letī hai
vo har machhlī jo machhlī ghar kī paidāvār ho sāhab
vo machhlī ghar ko hī apnā samundar maan letī hai
ham us ke haath pe rakh deñ zamīn-o-āsmāñ lā kar
magar vo ham faqīroñ kā kahāñ ehsān letī hai
sar-e-maqtal bikhar jaate haiñ is meñ Dūbne vaale
mohabbat har qadam par ḳhuun kā tāvān letī hai
agar bujhne se bachnā hai to lau se lau jalāo 'zeb'
havā jalte charāġhoñ se yahī paimān letī hai
nihatte aadmi pe baDh ke KHanjar tan leti hai
mohabbat mein na paD jaana mohabbat jaan leti hai
use KHamosh dekhun to sunai kuchh nahin deta
dikhai kuchh nahin deta nazar jab kan leti hai
udasi aashna hai is qadar aahaT se meri ab
jahan se bhi guzarta hun mujhe pahchan leti hai
KHushi to de hi deti hai teri duniya mujhe la kar
magar badle mein wo us ke mera iman leti hai
bas ek lamha lagati hai KHushi aa kar guzarne mein
udasi aae to sadiyon ki miTTi chhan leti hai
barabar banT deti hai wo sansen KHak-zadon mein
na-jaane zindagi kis ki dukan se bhan leti hai
isi ke sath chalti hai ye manzil par pahunchne tak
ye rah-e-gham jise apna musafir jaan leti hai
wo har machhli jo machhli ghar ki paidawar ho sahab
wo machhli ghar ko hi apna samundar man leti hai
hum us ke hath pe rakh den zamin-o-asman la kar
magar wo hum faqiron ka kahan ehsan leti hai
sar-e-maqtal bikhar jate hain is mein Dubne wale
mohabbat har qadam par KHun ka tawan leti hai
agar bujhne se bachna hai to lau se lau jalao 'zeb'
hawa jalte charaghon se yahi paiman leti hai
