shikwa gila mutalba fariyaad kuchh to ho

shikva gila mutālba fariyād kuchh to ho

jiinā agar hai ai dil-e-barbād kuchh to ho

shīrīn-o-dil-navāz koī ḳhvāb hī sahī

āḳhir tasallī-e-dil-e-nāshād kuchh to ho

ḳhush aa sakī na lazzat-e-tahsīn-e-nā-shanās

tārīf bhī agar ho to buniyād kuchh to ho

haañ muskurāo khul ke sar-e-dār dosto

dilkash tumhāre qatl kī rūdād kuchh to ho

aao nā gaa.eñ naġhma-e-āzādi-e-chaman

kunj-e-qafas meñ ḳhātir-e-sayyād kuchh to ho

hasrat se tak rahī hai mirī iltijā huzūr

kab tak ḳhamosh rahiyegā irshād kuchh to ho

ahbāb ke diloñ pe koī naqsh chhoḌ jā

ai 'rāz' tere zikr kī buniyād kuchh to ho

shikwa gila mutalba fariyaad kuchh to ho

jina agar hai ai dil-e-barbaad kuchh to ho

shirin-o-dil-nawaz koi KHwab hi sahi

aaKHir tasalli-e-dil-e-nashad kuchh to ho

KHush aa saki na lazzat-e-tahsin-e-na-shanas

tarif bhi agar ho to buniyaad kuchh to ho

han muskurao khul ke sar-e-dar dosto

dilkash tumhaare qatl ki rudad kuchh to ho

aao na gaen naghma-e-azadi-e-chaman

kunj-e-qafas mein KHatir-e-sayyaad kuchh to ho

hasrat se tak rahi hai meri iltija huzur

ahbab ke dilon pe koi naqsh chhoD ja
