baaten karo
rāt-bhar iqrār kī bāteñ karo
sub.h-dam inkār kī bāteñ karo
uljhaneñ dil kī baḌhānī hoñ agar
gesū-e-ḳhamdār kī bāteñ karo
haiñ nigāheñ sair aur abrū kamāñ
yaar bā-hathiyār kī bāteñ karo
mah-vasho itne bure bhī ham nahīñ
aao ham se pyaar kī bāteñ karo
sirf pahlī hī ke din ai dosto
saaz aur jhankār kī bāteñ karo
dūsrī ko bach ga.e paise agar
kūcha-o-bāzār kī bāteñ karo
das talak chilllar agar baaqī rahe
chaa.e par aḳhbār kī bāteñ karo
biis aur ikkīs ko ahbāb se
charḳh-e-nā-hanjār kī bāteñ karo
qarz-e-hasana le ke tum untīs tak
ghar ke kārobār kī bāteñ karo
tiis ko bāteñ karo iktīs kī
yā dil-e-bīmār kī bāteñ karo
āḳhirī din ḳhuub ġhusse meñ raho
hujjat-o-takrār kī bāteñ karo
phir usī shab sub.h kī ummīd meñ
mīThī mīThī pyaar kī bāteñ karo
tum se ye kis ne kahā thā 'ḳhvāh-maḳhvāh'
is tarah be-kār kī bāteñ karo
raat-bhar iqrar ki baaten karo
subh-dam inkar ki baaten karo
uljhanen dil ki baDhani hon agar
gesu-e-KHamdar ki baaten karo
hain nigahen sair aur abru kaman
yar ba-hathiyar ki baaten karo
mah-washo itne bure bhi hum nahin
aao hum se pyar ki baaten karo
sirf pahli hi ke din ai dosto
saz aur jhankar ki baaten karo
dusri ko bach gae paise agar
kucha-o-bazar ki baaten karo
das talak chilllar agar baqi rahe
chae par aKHbar ki baaten karo
bis aur ikkis ko ahbab se
charKH-e-na-hanjar ki baaten karo
qarz-e-hasana le ke tum untis tak
ghar ke karobar ki baaten karo
tis ko baaten karo iktis ki
ya dil-e-bimar ki baaten karo
aaKHiri din KHub ghusse mein raho
hujjat-o-takrar ki baaten karo
phir usi shab subh ki ummid mein
miThi miThi pyar ki baaten karo
tum se ye kis ne kaha tha 'KHwah-maKHwah'
is tarah be-kar ki baaten karo
