sabir-o-shakir rahe shadan rahe
sābir-o-shākir rahe shādāñ rahe
ḳhush rahe jis haal meñ insāñ rahe
tum ko ā.īne meñ kyā aayā nazar
misl-e-ā.īna jo tum hairāñ rahe
us mohabbat kā burā ho ishq meñ
chaar din bhī to na ham shādāñ rahe
the vo husn-o-'ishq ke rāz-o-niyāz
qaid zindāñ meñ mah-e-kan.āñ rahe
tum nahīñ ho to tumhārī yaad hai
ḳhāna-e-dil kis liye vīrāñ rahe
qatl kar ke ham ko vahīñ munfa.il
aur ham sharminda-e-ehsāñ rahe
mai se tauba us ghaTā meñ mohtasib
kyuuñ farishta ban ke har insāñ rahe
khil ke kaliyāñ de rahī haiñ ye sabaq
aadmī kāñToñ meñ bhī ḳhandāñ rahe
baaġh meñ do din ko aa.ī hai bahār
misl-e-shabnam koī kyuuñ giryāñ rahe
mere siine meñ jo the ulfat ke daaġh
roz-e-raushan kī tarah tābāñ rahe
kyā haram kyā dair haiñ jhagḌoñ ke ghar
un se 'shankar' duur hī insāñ rahe
sabir-o-shakir rahe shadan rahe
KHush rahe jis haal mein insan rahe
tum ko aaine mein kya aaya nazar
misl-e-aina jo tum hairan rahe
us mohabbat ka bura ho ishq mein
chaar din bhi to na hum shadan rahe
the wo husn-o-'ishq ke raaz-o-niyaz
qaid zindan mein mah-e-kanan rahe
tum nahin ho to tumhaari yaad hai
KHana-e-dil kis liye viran rahe
qatl kar ke hum ko wahin munfail
aur hum sharminda-e-ehsan rahe
mai se tauba us ghaTa mein mohtasib
kyun farishta ban ke har insan rahe
khil ke kaliyan de rahi hain ye sabaq
aadmi kanTon mein bhi KHandan rahe
bagh mein do din ko aai hai bahaar
misl-e-shabnam koi kyun giryan rahe
mere sine mein jo the ulfat ke dagh
roz-e-raushan ki tarah taban rahe
kya haram kya dair hain jhagDon ke ghar
un se 'shankar' dur hi insan rahe
