use malum hai main sar-phira hun
use mālūm hai maiñ sar-phirā huuñ
magar ḳhush hai ki us ko chāhtā huuñ
ye bastī kab darindoñ se thī ḳhālī
maiñ phir bhī Thiik logoñ meñ rahā huuñ
jo chāhe vo mujhe be-dām le le
ḳharīdāroñ ke hāthoñ kam bikā huuñ
tirī chāhat bahāna hai yaqīñ kar
ba-har sūrat maiñ ḳhud ko chāhtā huuñ
zarā sun be-niyāz-e-lams sun le
maiñ tujh ko chhū ke ḳhud ko bhūltā huuñ
kahāñ toḌā hai maiñ ne shāḳh se gul
maiñ shāḳh-e-gul pe gul ko māntā huuñ
use malum hai main sar-phira hun
magar KHush hai ki us ko chahta hun
ye basti kab darindon se thi KHali
main phir bhi Thik logon mein raha hun
jo chahe wo mujhe be-dam le le
KHaridaron ke hathon kam bika hun
teri chahat bahana hai yaqin kar
ba-har surat main KHud ko chahta hun
zara sun be-niyaz-e-lams sun le
main tujh ko chhu ke KHud ko bhulta hun
kahan toDa hai main ne shaKH se gul
main shaKH-e-gul pe gul ko manta hun
