yusuf ki tarah raunaq-e-bazar rahe hain
yūsuf kī tarah raunaq-e-bāzār rahe haiñ
bikne ke liye shauq se tayyār rahe haiñ
ham ne kabhī sūraj se ujālā nahīñ māñgā
ik chāñd se chehre ke talabgār rahe haiñ
dīvānoñ ko zanjīr kā kuchh ḳhauf nahīñ hai
tā-umr to zulfoñ meñ giraftār rahe haiñ
kyā hogā nasha zar se ḳharīdī huī mai meñ
ham āñkhoñ se piine ke gunahgār rahe haiñ
lekin hameñ be-māya-o-bekār na jaano
maanā tirī bastī meñ baḌe ḳhvār rahe haiñ
bhūle se kabhī un ko siyahkār na kahnā
jo log haqīqat meñ siyahkār rahe haiñ
behtar hai karo un kī satā.ish sar-e-mahfil
kah do ki baḌe sāhib-e-kirdār rahe haiñ
maanā ki baḌe sahl haiñ tere liye ham log
duniyā ke liye uqda-e-dushvār rahe haiñ
har gosha-e-tārīk munavvar kiyā ham ne
har bazm meñ ham the jo ziyā-bār rahe haiñ
yusuf ki tarah raunaq-e-bazar rahe hain
bikne ke liye shauq se tayyar rahe hain
hum ne kabhi suraj se ujala nahin manga
ek chand se chehre ke talabgar rahe hain
diwanon ko zanjir ka kuchh KHauf nahin hai
ta-umr to zulfon mein giraftar rahe hain
kya hoga nasha zar se KHaridi hui mai mein
hum aankhon se pine ke gunahgar rahe hain
lekin hamein be-maya-o-bekar na jaano
mana teri basti mein baDe KHwar rahe hain
bhule se kabhi un ko siyahkar na kahna
jo log haqiqat mein siyahkar rahe hain
behtar hai karo un ki sataish sar-e-mahfil
kah do ki baDe sahib-e-kirdar rahe hain
mana ki baDe sahl hain tere liye hum log
duniya ke liye uqda-e-dushwar rahe hain
har gosha-e-tarik munawwar kiya hum ne
har bazm mein hum the jo ziya-bar rahe hain
