rabt ho ghair se agar kuchh hai

rabt ho ġhair se agar kuchh hai

is taraf bhī magar nazar kuchh hai

be-ḳhabar hai vo har do aalam se

jis ko us shoḳh ko ḳhabar kuchh hai

yaañ koī mājrā-sharīk nahīñ

hai agar kuchh to chashm-e-tar kuchh hai

miT gayā qissa mar gayā āshiq

ho mubārak tumheñ ḳhabar kuchh hai

justujū hai vahīñ vahīñ hai nazar

jalva-rezī jidhar jidhar kuchh hai

hai tamāshā ba-qadr-e-zauq-e-nigāh

dekhtā huuñ jidhar udhar kuchh hai

bad balā hai kisī kisī kī nazar

tum na jaanā ki baam par kuchh hai

azm sū-e-adam to hai 'raunaq'

tosha-e-rāh bhī magar kuchh hai

rabt ho ghair se agar kuchh hai

is taraf bhi magar nazar kuchh hai

be-KHabar hai wo har do aalam se

jis ko us shoKH ko KHabar kuchh hai

yan koi majra-sharik nahin

hai agar kuchh to chashm-e-tar kuchh hai

miT gaya qissa mar gaya aashiq

ho mubarak tumhein KHabar kuchh hai

justuju hai wahin wahin hai nazar

jalwa-rezi jidhar jidhar kuchh hai

hai tamasha ba-qadr-e-zauq-e-nigah

dekhta hun jidhar udhar kuchh hai

bad bala hai kisi kisi ki nazar

tum na jaana ki baam par kuchh hai

azm su-e-adam to hai 'raunaq'

tosha-e-rah bhi magar kuchh hai
