tu hai kis manzil mein tera bol khan hai dil ka Thaar
tū hai kis manzil meñ terā bol khaañ hai dil kā Thaar
dam tirā aatā hai khaañ suuñ bol khaañ jaatā hai bhaar
dam ke ta.iiñ būjhā so kahte is ke ta.iiñ insān hai
nahiñ to sūrat aadmī sīrat meñ hai misl-e-himār
maiñ kahtā so kaun hai aur tū samajhtā hai kise
kyuuñ abas maiñ tū meñ paḌ kar be-abas hotā hai ḳhvār
rāhbar hai kaun terā bol tū kis kā faqīr
faqr kā kyā hāsilā samjhā mujhe mat ho gañvār
āshiqāñ ke bazm meñ ik rañg ho ai bul-havas
mat kahā bulbul naman chauñDā phulā kar tājdār
bahar ke ġhavvās se mat bahs kar ai ḳhām-tab.a
nahiñ gayā hai umr meñ apne tū dariyā ke kanār
kaj-bahas aatā hai karne jañg jab ushshāq suuñ
jyuuñ ki tair-e-haft-rañgī ho gayā aa kar shikār
pūchhtā aayā huuñ jo kuchh svaal kā mere javāb
thartharātā hai abas sīmāb namne be-qarār
tā kahe lag jvaab tujh par faqr kā luqma harām
bazm-e-rindāñ suuñ nikal jā jald-tar ho kar farār
shor aur ġhauġhā abas kartā hai kyuuñ rañg kar libās
muñh uThā jaatā hai jyuuñ be-qaid shutr-e-be-mahār
ai 'alīmullāh' na kar kaj-bahas suuñ svaal o javāb
hāsilā tarfain nahiñ hotā ba-juz ġhauġhā pukār
tu hai kis manzil mein tera bol khan hai dil ka Thaar
dam tera aata hai khan sun bol khan jata hai bhaar
dam ke tain bujha so kahte is ke tain insan hai
nahin to surat aadmi sirat mein hai misl-e-himar
main kahta so kaun hai aur tu samajhta hai kise
kyun abas main tu mein paD kar be-abas hota hai KHwar
rahbar hai kaun tera bol tu kis ka faqir
faqr ka kya hasila samjha mujhe mat ho ganwar
aashiqan ke bazm mein ek rang ho ai bul-hawas
mat kaha bulbul naman chaunDa phula kar tajdar
bahar ke ghawwas se mat bahs kar ai KHam-taba
nahin gaya hai umr mein apne tu dariya ke kanar
kaj-bahas aata hai karne jang jab ushshaq sun
jyun ki tair-e-haft-rangi ho gaya aa kar shikar
puchhta aaya hun jo kuchh swal ka mere jawab
thartharaata hai abas simab namne be-qarar
ta kahe lag jwab tujh par faqr ka luqma haram
bazm-e-rindan sun nikal ja jald-tar ho kar farar
shor aur ghaugha abas karta hai kyun rang kar libas
munh uTha jata hai jyun be-qaid shutr-e-be-mahaar
ai 'alimullah' na kar kaj-bahas sun swal o jawab
hasila tarfain nahin hota ba-juz ghaugha pukar
