pahle to Dar laga mujhe KHud apni chap se

pahle to Dar lagā mujhe ḳhud apnī chaap se

phir ro diyā maiñ mil ke gale apne aap se

dekhā hai haañ use hai vo kuchh miltā jultā sā

mutrib kī mīThī mīThī surīlī alaap se

thī baat hī kuchh aisī ki dīvāna ho gayā

dīvāna varna bantā hai kaun apne aap se

rahnā hai jab harīf hī ban kar tamām umr

kyā fā.eda hai yaar phir aise milāp se

aayā idhar ḳhayāl udhar mahv ho gayā

kahne ko thā na jaane abhī kyā maiñ apne aap se

ham aur lagā.eñ apne paḌosī ke ghar meñ aag

bhagvān hī bachā.e hameñ aise paap se

'naushād' raat kaisī thī vo mahfil-e-tarab

lagtī thī dil pe choT sī table kī thaap se

pahle to Dar laga mujhe KHud apni chap se

phir ro diya main mil ke gale apne aap se

dekha hai han use hai wo kuchh milta julta sa

mutrib ki miThi miThi surili alap se

thi baat hi kuchh aisi ki diwana ho gaya

diwana warna banta hai kaun apne aap se

rahna hai jab harif hi ban kar tamam umr

kya faeda hai yar phir aise milap se

aaya idhar KHayal udhar mahw ho gaya

kahne ko tha na jaane abhi kya main apne aap se

hum aur lagaen apne paDosi ke ghar mein aag

bhagwan hi bachae hamein aise pap se

'naushad' raat kaisi thi wo mahfil-e-tarab

lagti thi dil pe choT si table ki thap se
