sharab-e-arghawan ko shaiKH pahle to bura samjhe

sharāb-e-arġhavāñ ko shaiḳh pahle to burā samjhe

magar phir rafta rafta sehat-afzā shorbā samjhe

nazar-bāzoñ ko bhī dhoka huā fashion kī chhal-bal se

vo akasr achchhī-ḳhāsī chhokarī ko chhokrā samjhe

hazāroñ saal se police kī taftīsh jaarī hai

hasīnoñ kī kamar ko vo hamesha lāpatā samjhe

huā kashmīr aur punjab meñ ab tak na samjhauta

idhar ye kāñgḌī māñge udhar vo kāñgḌā samjhe

tire āshiq tire kūche ko terī sard-mehrī se

kabhī kashmīr samjhe to kabhī columbia samjhe

na bāñdho gol-chakkar apne sar par zulf-e-pechāñ kā

kahīñ aisā na ho bulbul isī ko ghoñsla samjhe

sharab-e-arghawan ko shaiKH pahle to bura samjhe

magar phir rafta rafta sehat-afza shorba samjhe

nazar-bazon ko bhi dhoka hua fashion ki chhal-bal se

wo akasr achchhi-KHasi chhokari ko chhokra samjhe

hazaron sal se police ki taftish jari hai

hasinon ki kamar ko wo hamesha lapata samjhe

hua kashmir aur punjab mein ab tak na samjhauta

idhar ye kangDi mange udhar wo kangDa samjhe

tere aashiq tere kuche ko teri sard-mehri se

kabhi kashmir samjhe to kabhi columbia samjhe

na bandho gol-chakkar apne sar par zulf-e-pechan ka

kahin aisa na ho bulbul isi ko ghonsla samjhe
