tamanna hai kisi ki tegh ho aur apni gardan ho

tamannā hai kisī kī teġh ho aur apnī gardan ho

phir us ke ba.ad yārab sar kaTe naale meñ madfan ho

hujūm-e-ām ho aur mujtam.a goroñ kī palTan ho

samajh lo lauT aa.e haiñ jo station pe dan dan ho

kaheñ qātil ko ham mahbūb agar hai ain nādānī

hazar lāzim hai aise shaḳhs se jo apnā dushman ho

lab-e-shīrīñ agar ma.ashūq kā qand-e-mukarrar hai

jabhī jāneñ ki baiTheñ makkhiyāñ aur us pe bhan bhan ho

na turbat kī jagah kūche meñ paa.ī to shikāyat kyā

galī un kī koī takiya hai jis meñ apnā madfan ho

ye sab lakḌī ke taḳhte ḳhaak meñ mil jaa.eñ jal-bhun kar

ġhazab ho jaa.e gar sach-much lahad meñ daaġh raushan ho

yahī dahshat agar dast-e-junūñ kī hai to ai bhaa.ī

dupaTTa oḌh lo jis meñ garebāñ ho na dāman ho

nigāh-e-shauq kyā Thahrī vo goyā belcha Thahrī

makān-e-yār kī dīvār meñ jis se ki rauzan ho

machā.e shor-o-ġhul āh-e-sharar-afshāñ kare har-dam

yahī ausāf lāzim hai to āshiq kyuuñ ho engine ho

hamārā jhonjh phulvārī meñ ho koī nahīñ kahtā

yahī kahte haiñ yārab baaġh meñ apnā nasheman ho

azal se tā-abad lambī yaqīñ hai Taañg bhī hogī

hasīn shoḳh vo sahrā-e-mahshar jis kā dāman ho

'zarīf' insāf se kah do vo āshiq hai ki chuhā hai

zamīn-e-qasr-e-jānāñ meñ jo ye chāhe ki maskan ho

tamanna hai kisi ki tegh ho aur apni gardan ho

phir us ke baad yarab sar kaTe nale mein madfan ho

hujum-e-am ho aur mujtama goron ki palTan ho

samajh lo lauT aae hain jo station pe dan dan ho

kahen qatil ko hum mahbub agar hai ain nadani

hazar lazim hai aise shaKHs se jo apna dushman ho

lab-e-shirin agar mashuq ka qand-e-mukarrar hai

jabhi jaanen ki baiThen makkhiyan aur us pe bhan bhan ho

na turbat ki jagah kuche mein pai to shikayat kya

gali un ki koi takiya hai jis mein apna madfan ho

ye sab lakDi ke taKHte KHak mein mil jaen jal-bhun kar

ghazab ho jae gar sach-much lahad mein dagh raushan ho

yahi dahshat agar dast-e-junun ki hai to ai bhai

dupaTTa oDh lo jis mein gareban ho na daman ho

nigah-e-shauq kya Thahri wo goya belcha Thahri

makan-e-yar ki diwar mein jis se ki rauzan ho

machae shor-o-ghul aah-e-sharar-afshan kare har-dam

yahi ausaf lazim hai to aashiq kyun ho engine ho

hamara jhonjh phulwari mein ho koi nahin kahta

yahi kahte hain yarab bagh mein apna nasheman ho

azal se ta-abad lambi yaqin hai Tang bhi hogi

hasin shoKH wo sahra-e-mahshar jis ka daman ho

'zarif' insaf se kah do wo aashiq hai ki chuha hai

zamin-e-qasr-e-jaanan mein jo ye chahe ki maskan ho
