wo nazar aaina-fitrat hi sahi

vo nazar ā.īna-fitrat hī sahī

mujhe hairat hai to hairat hī sahī

zindagī dāġh-e-mohabbat hī sahī

aap se duur kī nisbat hī sahī

tum na chāho to nahīñ kaT saktī

ek lamhe kī masāfat hī sahī

dil mohabbat kī adā chāhtā hai

ek aañsū dam-e-ruḳhsat hī sahī

āb-e-haivāñ bhī nahīñ mujh pe harām

zahr kī mujh ko zarūrat hī sahī

apnī taqdīr meñ sannāTā hai

ek hañgāme kī hasrat hī sahī

is qadar shor-e-tarab kyā ma.anī

jāgne kī mujhe aadat hī sahī

bazm-e-rindāñ se ta.alluq kaisā

aap kī mez pe sharbat hī sahī

hadd-e-manzil hai muqarrar 'bāqī'

rahrav-e-shauq ko ujlat hī sahī

wo nazar aaina-fitrat hi sahi

mujhe hairat hai to hairat hi sahi

zindagi dagh-e-mohabbat hi sahi

aap se dur ki nisbat hi sahi

tum na chaho to nahin kaT sakti

ek lamhe ki masafat hi sahi

dil mohabbat ki ada chahta hai

ek aansu dam-e-ruKHsat hi sahi

aab-e-haiwan bhi nahin mujh pe haram

zahr ki mujh ko zarurat hi sahi

apni taqdir mein sannaTa hai

ek hangame ki hasrat hi sahi

is qadar shor-e-tarab kya mani

jagne ki mujhe aadat hi sahi

bazm-e-rindan se talluq kaisa

aap ki mez pe sharbat hi sahi

hadd-e-manzil hai muqarrar 'baqi'

rahraw-e-shauq ko ujlat hi sahi
