tumne bhule se kabhi ye nahin socha hoga

tum ne bhūle se kabhī ye nahīñ sochā hogā

ham jo bichhḌeñge to kyā haal hamārā hogā

aa ga.e ho to ujālā hai mirī duniyā meñ

jāoge tum to añdherā hī añdherā hogā

ye na kahiye ki mirī aañkh se Tapkā aañsū

chhoḌiye bhī koī TuuTā huā taarā hogā

kyā ḳhabar thī kī tire shahr se pahle ai dost

raat aa jā.egī aur raah meñ dariyā hogā

ḳhvāb lab ḳhvāb jabīñ ḳhvāb adā ḳhvāb hayā

itne ḳhvāboñ meñ koī ḳhvāb to sachchā hogā

dil ke ā.īne meñ kar aks-e-tamannā na talāsh

tū muqābil hai to hairat ke sivā kyā hogā

paikar-e-ishq to farhād bhī thā majnūñ bhī

aur vo shaḳhs ki tū ne jise chāhā hogā

aaj to ḳhush huuñ bahut ḳhush huuñ bahut hī ḳhush huuñ

is tasavvur meñ maiñ kaañp uThtā huuñ kal kyā hogā

ek vo haiñ jinheñ ḳhalvat meñ bhī lutf-e-jalvat

haa.e vo shaḳhs jo mahfil meñ bhī tanhā hogā

fikr anjām-e-mohabbat kī hai tauhīn ai 'lais'

vahī hogā mirī qismat meñ jo likkhā hogā

tum ne bhule se kabhi ye nahin socha hoga

hum jo bichhDenge to kya haal hamara hoga

aa gae ho to ujala hai meri duniya mein

jaoge tum to andhera hi andhera hoga

ye na kahiye ki meri aankh se Tapka aansu

chhoDiye bhi koi TuTa hua tara hoga

kya KHabar thi ki tere shahr se pahle ai dost

raat aa jaegi aur rah mein dariya hoga

KHwab lab KHwab jabin KHwab ada KHwab haya

itne KHwabon mein koi KHwab to sachcha hoga

dil ke aaine mein kar aks-e-tamanna na talash

tu muqabil hai to hairat ke siwa kya hoga

paikar-e-ishq to farhad bhi tha majnun bhi

aur wo shaKHs ki tu ne jise chaha hoga

aaj to KHush hun bahut KHush hun bahut hi KHush hun

is tasawwur mein main kanp uThta hun kal kya hoga

ek wo hain jinhen KHalwat mein bhi lutf-e-jalwat

hae wo shaKHs jo mahfil mein bhi tanha hoga

fikr anjam-e-mohabbat ki hai tauhin ai 'lais'

wahi hoga meri qismat mein jo likkha hoga
