vafā kī aaḌ meñ kyā kyā huī jafā ham par

jo dostī yahī Thahrī to dushmanī kyā hai

wafa ki aaD mein kya kya hui jafa hum par

jo dosti yahi Thahri to dushmani kya hai

jab dil hī nahīñ hai pahlū meñ phir ishq kā saudā kaun kare

ab un se mohabbat kaun kare ab un kī tamannā kaun kare

jab dil hi nahin hai pahlu mein phir ishq ka sauda kaun kare

ab un se mohabbat kaun kare ab un ki tamanna kaun kare

kis ġhalat-fahmī meñ apnī umr saarī kaT ga.ī

ik vafā-nā-āshnā ko bā-vafā samjhā thā maiñ

kis ghalat-fahmi mein apni umr sari kaT gai

ek wafa-na-ashna ko ba-wafa samjha tha main

vahī sub.h-o-masā vahī shab-o-roz

zindagī hai vabāl kyā kahiye

wahi subh-o-masa wahi shab-o-roz

zindagi hai wabaal kya kahiye

na kuchh aalim samajhte haiñ na kuchh jāhil samajhte haiñ

mohabbat kī haqīqat ko bas ahl-e-dil samajhte haiñ

na kuchh aalim samajhte hain na kuchh jahil samajhte hain

mohabbat ki haqiqat ko bas ahl-e-dil samajhte hain
