rah-rawi hai na rahnumai hai
rah-ravī hai na rahnumā.ī hai
aaj daur-e-shikasta-pā.ī hai
aql le aa.ī zindagī ko kahāñ
ishq-e-nādāñ tirī duhā.ī hai
hai ufuq dar ufuq rah-e-hastī
har rasā.ī meñ nā-rasā.ī hai
shikve kartā hai kyā dil-e-nākām
āshiqī kis ko raas aa.ī hai
ho ga.ī gum kahāñ sahar apnī
raat jā kar bhī raat aa.ī hai
jis meñ ehsās ho asīrī kā
vo rihā.ī koī rihā.ī hai
kārvāñ hai ḳhud apnī gard meñ gum
paañv kī ḳhaak sar pe aa.ī hai
ban ga.ī hai vo iltijā aañsū
jo nazar meñ samā na paa.ī hai
barq nāhaq chaman meñ hai badnām
aag phūloñ ne ḳhud lagā.ī hai
vo bhī chup haiñ ḳhamosh huuñ maiñ bhī
ek nāzuk sī baat aa.ī hai
aur karte hī kyā mohabbat meñ
jo paḌī dil pe vo uThā.ī hai
na.e saafī meñ ho na ālā.ish
yahī 'mullā' kī pārsā.ī hai
rah-rawi hai na rahnumai hai
aaj daur-e-shikasta-pai hai
aql le aai zindagi ko kahan
ishq-e-nadan teri duhai hai
hai ufuq dar ufuq rah-e-hasti
har rasai mein na-rasai hai
shikwe karta hai kya dil-e-nakaam
aashiqi kis ko ras aai hai
ho gai gum kahan sahar apni
raat ja kar bhi raat aai hai
jis mein ehsas ho asiri ka
wo rihai koi rihai hai
karwan hai KHud apni gard mein gum
panw ki KHak sar pe aai hai
ban gai hai wo iltija aansu
jo nazar mein sama na pai hai
barq nahaq chaman mein hai badnam
aag phulon ne KHud lagai hai
wo bhi chup hain KHamosh hun main bhi
ek nazuk si baat aai hai
aur karte hi kya mohabbat mein
jo paDi dil pe wo uThai hai
nae safi mein ho na aalaish
yahi 'mulla' ki parsai hai
