ishq har-chand mirī jaan sadā khātā hai

ishq har-chand mirī jaan sadā khātā hai

par ye lazzat to vo hai jī hī jise paatā hai

aah kab tak maiñ bakūñ terī balā suntī hai

bāteñ logoñ kī jo kuchh dil mujhe sunvātā hai

ham-nashīñ pūchh na us shoḳh kī ḳhūbī mujh se

kyā kahūñ tujh se ġharaz jī ko mire bhātā hai

baat kuchh dil kī hamāre to na suljhī ham se

aapī ḳhush hove hai phir aap hī ghabrātā hai

jī kaḌā kar ke tire kūche se jab jaatā huuñ

dil-e-dushman ye mujhe gher ke phir laatā hai

raah peñDe kabhū us shoḳh ke ta.iiñ ham se bhī

diid vā diid to hotī hai jo mil jaatā hai

'dard' kī qadr mire yaar samajhnā vallāh

aisā āzād tire daam meñ yuuñ aatā hai

ishq har-chand mirī jaan sadā khātā hai

par ye lazzat to wo hai jī hī jise patā hai

aah kab tak maiñ bakūñ terī balā suntī hai

bāteñ logoñ kī jo kuchh dil mujhe sunwātā hai

ham-nashīñ pūchh na us shoḳh kī ḳhūbī mujh se

kyā kahūñ tujh se ġharaz jī ko mere bhātā hai

baat kuchh dil kī hamāre to na suljhī hum se

aapī ḳhush howe hai phir aap hī ghabrātā hai

jī kaḌā kar ke tere kūche se jab jatā huñ

dil-e-dushman ye mujhe gher ke phir latā hai

rah peñDe kabhū us shoḳh ke taiñ hum se bhī

did wā did to hotī hai jo mil jatā hai

'dard' kī qadr mere yar samajhnā wallāh

aisā āzād tere dam meñ yuñ aatā hai
