ye kah ke aag wo dil mein lagae jate hain
ye kah ke aag vo dil meñ lagā.e jaate haiñ
charāġh ḳhud nahīñ jalte jalā.e jaate haiñ
ab is se baḌh ke sitam dostoñ pe kyā hogā
vo dushmanoñ ko gale se lagā.e jaate haiñ
ġharībī jurm hai aisā ki dekh kar mujh ko
nigāheñ pher ke apne parā.e jaate haiñ
kashish charāġh kī ye baat kar ga.ī raushan
patiñge ḳhud nahīñ aate bulā.e jaate haiñ
tajalliyoñ ke hijābāt haiñ ḳhayāl rahe
ye parde dast-e-nazar se uThā.e jaate haiñ
hameñ milī hai jagah jab se aap ke dil meñ
jahāñ haiñ aap vahāñ ham bhī paa.e jaate haiñ
na pūchh hāl-e-shab-e-ġham na pūchh ai 'purnam'
bahā.e jaate haiñ aañsū bahā.e jaate haiñ
ye kah ke aag wo dil mein lagae jate hain
charagh KHud nahin jalte jalae jate hain
ab is se baDh ke sitam doston pe kya hoga
wo dushmanon ko gale se lagae jate hain
gharibi jurm hai aisa ki dekh kar mujh ko
nigahen pher ke apne parae jate hain
kashish charagh ki ye baat kar gai raushan
patinge KHud nahin aate bulae jate hain
tajalliyon ke hijabaat hain KHayal rahe
ye parde dast-e-nazar se uThae jate hain
hamein mili hai jagah jab se aap ke dil mein
jahan hain aap wahan hum bhi pae jate hain
na puchh haal-e-shab-e-gham na puchh ai 'purnam'
bahae jate hain aansu bahae jate hain
