burā ho ā.īñe tirā maiñ kaun huuñ na khul sakā

mujhī ko pesh kar diyā gayā mirī misāl meñ

bura ho aaine tera main kaun hun na khul saka

mujhi ko pesh kar diya gaya meri misal mein

dost ahbāb se lene na sahāre jaanā

dil jo ghabrā.e samundar ke kināre jaanā

dost ahbab se lene na sahaare jaana

dil jo ghabrae samundar ke kinare jaana

bachpan meñ ham hī the yā thā aur koī

vahshat sī hone lagtī hai yādoñ se

bachpan mein hum hi the ya tha aur koi

wahshat si hone lagti hai yaadon se

dād-o-tahsīn kī bolī nahīñ tafhīm kā naqd

shart kuchh to mire bikne kī munāsib Thahre

dad-o-tahsin ki boli nahin tafhim ka naqd

shart kuchh to mere bikne ki munasib Thahre

ḳhayāl kyā hai jo alfāz tak na pahuñche 'sāz'

jab aañkh se hī na Tapkā to phir lahū kyā hai

KHayal kya hai jo alfaz tak na pahunche 'saz'

jab aankh se hi na Tapka to phir lahu kya hai
