teri fuzul bandagi bana na de KHuda mujhe

tirī fuzūl bandagī banā na de ḳhudā mujhe

maiñ kyā huuñ aur tū samajh rahā hai jaane kyā mujhe

na tū nazar meñ hai kahīñ na dasht hai na shahr hai

ye kis ḳhalā meñ khīñch laa.e tere naqsh-e-pā mujhe

tū apnā kaam kar guzar mujhe koī gila nahīñ

jo vaqt ne banā diyā havā tujhe diyā mujhe

tujhe hī sochte hue phir aaj so gayā huuñ maiñ

guzar tirā ho ḳhvāb se to niiñd se jagā mujhe

vahāñ se dekhtī hai kyā havā-e-dast-e-māriyā

zarā mire qarīb aa maiñ ḳhaak huuñ uḌā mujhe

maiñ jānte hue bhī sab ḳharīdtā chalā gayā

vo ashk bechtā rahā batā ke qahqaha mujhe

mile tamām log zindagī kī dhūp-chhāñv meñ

bas ek 'imtiyāz' hī kahīñ nahīñ milā mujhe

teri fuzul bandagi bana na de KHuda mujhe

main kya hun aur tu samajh raha hai jaane kya mujhe

na tu nazar mein hai kahin na dasht hai na shahr hai

ye kis KHala mein khinch lae tere naqsh-e-pa mujhe

tu apna kaam kar guzar mujhe koi gila nahin

jo waqt ne bana diya hawa tujhe diya mujhe

tujhe hi sochte hue phir aaj so gaya hun main

guzar tera ho KHwab se to nind se jaga mujhe

wahan se dekhti hai kya hawa-e-dast-e-mariya

zara mere qarib aa main KHak hun uDa mujhe

main jaante hue bhi sab KHaridta chala gaya

wo ashk bechta raha bata ke qahqaha mujhe

mile tamam log zindagi ki dhup-chhanw mein

bas ek 'imtiyaz' hi kahin nahin mila mujhe
