zarre hi sahi koh se Takra to gae hum

zarre hī sahī koh se Takrā to ga.e ham

dil le ke sar-e-arsa-e-ġham aa to ga.e ham

ab naam rahe yā na rahe ishq meñ apnā

rūdād-e-vafā daar pe dohrā to ga.e ham

kahte the jo ab koī nahīñ jaañ se guzartā

lo jaañ se guzar kar unheñ jhuTlā to ga.e ham

jaañ apnī gañvā kar kabhī ghar apnā jalā kar

dil un kā har ik taur se bahlā to ga.e ham

kuchh aur hī aalam thā pas-e-chehra-e-yārāñ

rahtā jo yūñhī raaz use pā to ga.e ham

ab soch rahe haiñ ki ye mumkin hī nahīñ hai

phir un se na milne kī qasam khā to ga.e ham

uTTheñ ki na uTTheñ ye razā un kī hai 'jālib'

logoñ ko sar-e-dār nazar aa to ga.e ham

zarre hi sahi koh se Takra to gae hum

dil le ke sar-e-arsa-e-gham aa to gae hum

ab nam rahe ya na rahe ishq mein apna

rudad-e-wafa dar pe dohra to gae hum

kahte the jo ab koi nahin jaan se guzarta

lo jaan se guzar kar unhen jhuTla to gae hum

jaan apni ganwa kar kabhi ghar apna jala kar

dil un ka har ek taur se bahla to gae hum

kuchh aur hi aalam tha pas-e-chehra-e-yaran

rahta jo yunhi raaz use pa to gae hum

ab soch rahe hain ki ye mumkin hi nahin hai

phir un se na milne ki qasam kha to gae hum

uTThen ki na uTThen ye raza un ki hai 'jalib'

logon ko sar-e-dar nazar aa to gae hum
