ghair jo be-faida hathon pe gul khaya kiye

ġhair jo be-fā.ida hāthoñ pe gul khāyā kiye

ham bhī nāhaq daaġh apne dil ke the dikhlāyā kiye

dil kī dil jaane mujhe shikvā to milne kā nahīñ

gāh-gāhe paas mere aap to aayā kiye

din tumhār to kaTe baare ḳhushī se har tarah

ham balā se yaañ paḌe rātoñ ko ghabrāyā kiye

dil burā hotā hai koī tujh se par yuuñ abas

ham sadā ġhairoñ se milnā sun ke ghabrāyā kiye

chain to ham ko na aayā ek saa.at us ba-ġhair

rāt-din har chand apne dil ko bahlāyā kiye

dekhne paatā nahīñ hai koī jis kī chhāoñ haañ

le chalī hai aaj ham ko vo parī saayā kiye

apne darvāza talak bhī vo na aayā ek baar

har ghaḌī uTh-uTh ke ham jis ke liye jaayā kiye

yā to vo rāteñ thiiñ yā ye kuchh dinoñ kā pher hai

haath ab lagte nahīñ tab paañv dabvāyā kiye

tab hamāre us ke ab tak yuuñ nibhī thī 'dard' yaañ

baat aisī vaisī ham ḳhātir meñ kam laayā kiye

ghair jo be-faida hathon pe gul khaya kiye

hum bhi nahaq dagh apne dil ke the dikhlaya kiye

dil ki dil jaane mujhe shikwa to milne ka nahin

gah-gahe pas mere aap to aaya kiye

din tumhaar to kaTe bare KHushi se har tarah

hum bala se yan paDe raaton ko ghabraya kiye

dil bura hota hai koi tujh se par yun abas

hum sada ghairon se milna sun ke ghabraya kiye

chain to hum ko na aaya ek saat us ba-ghair

raat-din har chand apne dil ko bahlaya kiye

dekhne pata nahin hai koi jis ki chhaon han

le chali hai aaj hum ko wo pari saya kiye

apne darwaza talak bhi wo na aaya ek bar

har ghaDi uTh-uTh ke hum jis ke liye jaya kiye

ya to wo raaten thin ya ye kuchh dinon ka pher hai

hath ab lagte nahin tab panw dabwaya kiye

tab hamare us ke ab tak yun nibhi thi 'dard' yan

baat aisi waisi hum KHatir mein kam laya kiye
