    ajiib haiñ mirī bāteñ ajiib hai ehsās

    tumheñ ḳhudā na kare ye gumāñ guzarte hoñ

    ki bamba.ī ye gambhīr sin-rasīda shahr

    imāratoñ ye phailā huā ghanā jañgal

    malāmatoñ balāoñ raqs-ḳhāna hai

    har ek shaḳhs hai āseb-e-zar meñ naza.a-ba-lab

    ki saañs khul nahīñ saktī hai mar nahīñ saktā

    ajiib haiñ mirī bāteñ ajiib hai ehsās

    tumheñ ḳhudā na kare ye gumāñ guzarte hoñ

    ki bamba.ī hasīñ shahr koī aurat hai

    sajī-sajā.ī sañvārī huī javāñ aurat

    pa jis ruuh gunāhoñ ik jahannam hai

    javān jism jhulaste haiñ us ke sho.aloñ meñ

    magar ye jaan ke har ik javāñ hai mohr-ba-lab

    mire gunāh ko rusvā.iyāñ nahīñ miltīñ

    ajiib haiñ mirī bāteñ ajiib hai ehsās

    tumheñ ḳhudā na kare ye gumāñ guzarte hoñ

    ye shahr shahr nigārān-e-māh-paiakar hai

    yahāñ pe chāñd añdheroñ meñ qatl hote haiñ

    yahāñ hunar ko matā-e-vafā mayassar hai

    yahāñ pe roTiyāñ rakkhī haiñ jūtiyoñ ke tale

    ajiib haiñ mirī bāteñ ajiib hai ehsās

    tumheñ ḳhudā na kare ye gumāñ guzarte hoñ

    ki aadmī to bahar-hāl be-sahārā hai

    yahāñ savāl mile rāstoñ pe so.e hue

    yahāñ javāb mile uljhanoñ meñ kho.e hue

    yahāñ vo haath mile jin lams zinda hai

    yahāñ vo jism mile jin aag raushan hai

    ajiib haiñ mirī bāteñ ajiib hai ehsās

    tumheñ ḳhudā na kare ye gumāñ guzarte hoñ

    udaas habs-zada dopahar har lamha

    sabāt-e-tishna-labī aazmā ke jaatā hai

    fasāna shab-e-hijrāñ tuul hai jaise

    umīd-e-vasl meñ jiinā sikhā ke jaatā hai

    kuchh aise kaTte haiñ din raat kyā ḳhabar tum ko

    matā-e-umr luTātā huuñ shahr-e-ġhurbat meñ

    tumhārī diid ummīd miT ga.ī hotī

    to apnī maut ik ilzām thī mohabbat meñ

    ajiib haiñ mirī bāteñ ajiib hai ehsās

    tumheñ ḳhudā na kare ye gumāñ guzarte hoñ

    kisī udaas shab-e-māh meñ kabhī jab maiñ

    garajte chīḳhte chiñghāḌte samundar se

    ye pūchhtā huuñ ''tujhe kab sukūn miltā hai

    kabhī tahoñ meñ hai halchal kabhī kināroñ par

    kabhī hai sat.h pe shorīdgī kabhī dil meñ''

    to thoḌī der samundar udaas rahtā hai

    phir us ke ba.ad milātā hai haath maujoñ ke

    ḳhudā gavāh samundar mujhe bulātā hai!

    ''ab aa ki mujh se tirī ruuh ko ilāqa hai

    ab aa ki maiñ to tire paas aa nahīñ saktā''

    ajiib haiñ mirī bāteñ ajiib hai ehsās

    tumheñ ḳhudā na kare ye gumāñ guzarte hoñ!

    ajib hain meri baaten ajib hai ehsas

    tumhein KHuda na kare ye guman guzarte hon

    ki bambai ka ye gambhir sin-rasida shahr

    imaraton ka ye phaila hua ghana jangal

    malamaton ka balaon ka raqs-KHana hai

    har ek shaKHs hai aaseb-e-zar mein naza-ba-lab

    ki sans khul nahin sakti hai mar nahin sakta

    ajib hain meri baaten ajib hai ehsas

    tumhein KHuda na kare ye guman guzarte hon

    ki bambai ka hasin shahr koi aurat hai

    saji-sajai sanwari hui jawan aurat

    pa jis ki ruh gunahon ka ek jahannam hai

    jawan jism jhulaste hain us ke shoalon mein

    magar ye jaan ke har ek jawan hai mohr-ba-lab

    mere gunah ko ruswaiyan nahin miltin

    ajib hain meri baaten ajib hai ehsas

    tumhein KHuda na kare ye guman guzarte hon

    ye shahr shahr nigaran-e-mah-paiakar hai

    yahan pe chand andheron mein qatl hote hain

    yahan hunar ko mata-e-wafa mayassar hai

    yahan pe roTiyan rakkhi hain jutiyon ke tale

    ajib hain meri baaten ajib hai ehsas

    tumhein KHuda na kare ye guman guzarte hon

    ki aadmi to bahar-haal be-sahaara hai

    yahan sawal mile raston pe soe hue

    yahan jawab mile uljhanon mein khoe hue

    yahan wo hath mile jin ka lams zinda hai

    yahan wo jism mile jin ki aag raushan hai

    ajib hain meri baaten ajib hai ehsas

    tumhein KHuda na kare ye guman guzarte hon

    udas habs-zada dopahar ka har lamha

    sabaat-e-tishna-labi aazma ke jata hai

    fasana shab-e-hijran ka tul hai jaise

    umid-e-wasl mein jina sikha ke jata hai

    kuchh aise kaTte hain din raat kya KHabar tum ko

    mata-e-umr luTata hun shahr-e-ghurbat mein

    tumhaari did ki ummid miT gai hoti

    to apni maut ek ilzam thi mohabbat mein

    ajib hain meri baaten ajib hai ehsas

    tumhein KHuda na kare ye guman guzarte hon

    kisi udas shab-e-mah mein kabhi jab main

    garajte chiKHte chinghaDte samundar se

    ye puchhta hun tujhe kab sukun milta hai

    kabhi tahon mein hai halchal kabhi kinaron par

    kabhi hai sath pe shoridgi kabhi dil mein

    to thoDi der samundar udas rahta hai

    phir us ke baad milata hai hath maujon ke

    KHuda gawah samundar mujhe bulata hai!

    ab aa ki mujh se teri ruh ko ilaqa hai

    ab aa ki main to tere pas aa nahin sakta

    ajib hain meri baaten ajib hai ehsas

    tumhein KHuda na kare ye guman guzarte hon!
