masrūr bhī huuñ ḳhush bhī huuñ lekin ḳhushī nahīñ
tere baġhair ziist to hai zindagī nahīñ
maiñ dard-e-'āshiqī ko samajhtā huuñ jān-o-rūh
kam-baḳht vo bhī dil meñ kabhī hai kabhī nahīñ
lā ġham hī Daal de mire dast-e-savāl meñ
maiñ kyā karūñ ḳhushī ko jo terī ḳhushī nahīñ
kuchh der aur rahne de ḳhuddārī-e-junūñ
dāman to chaak honā hai lekin abhī nahīñ
saaqī nigāh-e-nāz se lillāh kaam le
sau jaam pī chukā huuñ magar be-ḳhudī nahīñ
rakhnā paḌegī tum ko tahī-dāmanī kī laaj
mujh ko kamī zarūr hai tum ko kamī nahīñ
'bahzād' saaf saaf maiñ kahtā huuñ hāl-e-dil
sharminda-e-kamāl mirī shā.irī nahīñ
masrur bhi hun KHush bhi hun lekin KHushi nahin
tere baghair zist to hai zindagi nahin
main dard-e-'ashiqi ko samajhta hun jaan-o-ruh
kam-baKHt wo bhi dil mein kabhi hai kabhi nahin
la gham hi Dal de mere dast-e-sawal mein
main kya karun KHushi ko jo teri KHushi nahin
kuchh der aur rahne de KHuddari-e-junun
daman to chaak hona hai lekin abhi nahin
saqi nigah-e-naz se lillah kaam le
sau jam pi chuka hun magar be-KHudi nahin
rakhna paDegi tum ko tahi-damani ki laj
mujh ko kami zarur hai tum ko kami nahin
'bahzad' saf saf main kahta hun haal-e-dil
sharminda-e-kamal meri shairi nahin
