rakh kuchh dil mein ziyaada hai sharara kam hai

raakh kuchh dil meñ ziyāda hai sharārā kam hai

ham ne is aa.ine meñ aks utārā kam hai

raushnī aaj ajab tīrgī-e-ḳhāk meñ hai

āsmāñ dekh tirā ek sitārā kam hai

DhūñDhtā phirtā huuñ ḳhār-o-ḳhas-o-ḳhāshāk meñ husn

merī bīnā.ī ko sauġhāt-e-nazārā kam hai

marg-e-yārān-e-suḳhan-sanj pe ḳhuuñ rotā huuñ

kyā karūñ sabr ki ab sabr kā yaarā kam hai

tum ko andāza-e-sailāb nahīñ hai 'mohsin'

bādaloñ ne jo kiyā kyā vo ishārā kam hai

rakh kuchh dil mein ziyaada hai sharara kam hai

hum ne is aaine mein aks utara kam hai

raushni aaj ajab tirgi-e-KHak mein hai

aasman dekh tera ek sitara kam hai

DhunDhta phirta hun KHar-o-KHas-o-KHashak mein husn

meri binai ko saughat-e-nazara kam hai

marg-e-yaran-e-suKHan-sanj pe KHun rota hun

kya karun sabr ki ab sabr ka yara kam hai

tum ko andaza-e-sailab nahin hai 'mohsin'

baadalon ne jo kiya kya wo ishaara kam hai
