pawe kis tarah koi kis ko hai maqdur hamein

paave kis tarah koī kis ko hai maqdūr hameñ

le gayā ishq tirā khīñch bahut duur hameñ

sub.h kī raat to ro ro ke ab aa ai be-mehr

roz-e-raushan ko dikhā mat shab-e-dījūr hameñ

rabt ko chāhiye yak naua kī jinsiyyat yaañ

chashm-e-bīmār use hai dil-e-ranjūr hameñ

baat gar kiije to hai banda-navāzī varna

dekhnā hī hai faqat aap kā manzūr hameñ

ulfat us shoḳh kī chhūTe hai koī jīte-jī

rakkho is pand se ai nāseho ma.azūr hameñ

pī hai mai raat ko yā jaage ho tum kuchh to hai

āñkheñ aatī haiñ nazar aaj to maḳhmūr hameñ

yaañ se 'bedār' gayā vo mah-e-tābāñ shāyad

nazar aatā hai ye ghar aaj to be-nūr hameñ

pawe kis tarah koi kis ko hai maqdur hamein

le gaya ishq tera khinch bahut dur hamein

subh ki raat to ro ro ke ab aa ai be-mehr

roz-e-raushan ko dikha mat shab-e-dijur hamein

rabt ko chahiye yak naua ki jinsiyyat yan

chashm-e-bimar use hai dil-e-ranjur hamein

baat gar kije to hai banda-nawazi warna

dekhna hi hai faqat aap ka manzur hamein

ulfat us shoKH ki chhuTe hai koi jite-ji

rakkho is pand se ai naseho mazur hamein

pi hai mai raat ko ya jage ho tum kuchh to hai

aankhen aati hain nazar aaj to maKHmur hamein

yan se 'bedar' gaya wo mah-e-taban shayad

nazar aata hai ye ghar aaj to be-nur hamein
