tabassum lab par aankhon mein nami hai

tabassum lab par āñkhoñ meñ namī hai

ḳhudā jaane ye ġham hai yā ḳhushī hai

jo manzil aaj ahl-e-hosh kī hai

vo dīvānoñ kī Thukrā.ī huī hai

kahāñ jaa.e thakā-māñda musāfir

tū hī saaya tū hī dīvār bhī hai

hazāroñ haiñ sukūn-e-dil ke sāmāñ

ye duniyā phir bhī ghabrā.ī huī hai

añdhere chhū nahīñ sakte haiñ mujh ko

ki mere saath terī raushnī hai

zabāñ kah de to ik hañgāma ho jaa.e

nazar ma.alūm kyā kyā dekhtī hai

na jaane kab tirā dāman chhuā thā

magar hāthoñ meñ ab tak thartharī hai

vo begāna hai utnā zindagī se

jaise jitnā shu.ūr zindagī hai

jafāoñ ne hazāroñ rañg badle

vafā apnī jagah par aaj bhī hai

chalo ai zimma-dārān-e-mohabbat

farāz-e-dār par phir raushnī hai

mire simTe hue dāman ko 'shārib'

baḌī hairat se duniyā dekhtī hai

tabassum lab par aankhon mein nami hai

KHuda jaane ye gham hai ya KHushi hai

jo manzil aaj ahl-e-hosh ki hai

wo diwanon ki Thukrai hui hai

kahan jae thaka-manda musafir

tu hi saya tu hi diwar bhi hai

hazaron hain sukun-e-dil ke saman

ye duniya phir bhi ghabrai hui hai

andhere chhu nahin sakte hain mujh ko

ki mere sath teri raushni hai

zaban kah de to ek hangama ho jae

nazar malum kya kya dekhti hai

na jaane kab tera daman chhua tha

magar hathon mein ab tak tharthari hai

wo begana hai utna zindagi se

jaise jitna shuur zindagi hai

jafaon ne hazaron rang badle

wafa apni jagah par aaj bhi hai

chalo ai zimma-daran-e-mohabbat

faraaz-e-dar par phir raushni hai

mere simTe hue daman ko 'shaarib'

baDi hairat se duniya dekhti hai
