surat-e-gul kabhi zulfon mein saja kar le jae

sūrat-e-gul kabhī zulfoñ meñ sajā kar le jaa.e

jab bhī chāhe vo mujhe apnā banā kar le jaa.e

dil ko rakkhā hai sar-e-rāh-e-mohabbat kab se

koī to aa.e idhar aur uThā kar le jaa.e

rāt-bhar jāgtā rahtā huuñ maiñ is ḳhauf ke saath

tujh ko mujh se na koī shaḳhs churā kar le jaa.e

jab bhī aatī hai kisī aur se āñdhī aksar

mere āñgan se tire naqsh uThā kar le jaa.e

dāvat-e-ām hai us jaan ke dushman ko mujhe

talḳhiyāñ maazī kī is baar bhulā kar le jaa.e

jab bhī ta.abīr kā imkān nazar aatā hai

merī āñkhoñ se koī ḳhvāb churā kar le jaa.e

maiñ to is shaḳhs se kahtā rahā har baar 'nabīl'

mujh ko do bol mohabbat ke sunā kar le jaa.e

surat-e-gul kabhi zulfon mein saja kar le jae

jab bhi chahe wo mujhe apna bana kar le jae

dil ko rakkha hai sar-e-rah-e-mohabbat kab se

koi to aae idhar aur uTha kar le jae

raat-bhar jagta rahta hun main is KHauf ke sath

tujh ko mujh se na koi shaKHs chura kar le jae

jab bhi aati hai kisi aur se aandhi aksar

mere aangan se tere naqsh uTha kar le jae

dawat-e-am hai us jaan ke dushman ko mujhe

talKHiyan mazi ki is bar bhula kar le jae

jab bhi tabir ka imkan nazar aata hai

meri aankhon se koi KHwab chura kar le jae

main to is shaKHs se kahta raha har bar 'nabil'

mujh ko do bol mohabbat ke suna kar le jae
