ye to kahte hain shadman hote
ye to kahte haiñ shādmāñ hote
ġham na hotā to ham kahāñ hote
dil ko barbād kar diyā varna
apne qabze meñ do jahñ hote
be-navā.ī se apnī behtar thā
be-makāñ hote be-nishāñ hote
ek jalva hazār tāsīreñ
kis ke kis ke mizāj-dāñ hote
rañg-e-gulshan samajhne vaale kyuuñ
mutamannī āshiyāñ hote
ek hālat pe gar jahāñ rahtā
dil ke armāñ vabāl-e-jāñ hote
na mohabbat meñ jaan se jaate
na haqīqat ke rāzdāñ hote
thak ke baiThe haiñ jāda-e-ġham meñ
chalte rahte to ham kahāñ hote
baat bantī agar qafas vaale
ek dil hote ik zabāñ hote
parda-e-daustī meñ jo milte
ġham vo nā-qābil-e-bayāñ hote
kaash duniyā ko chāhne vaale
dil-e-'bismil' ke rāz-dāñ hote
ye to kahte hain shadman hote
gham na hota to hum kahan hote
dil ko barbaad kar diya warna
apne qabze mein do jahn hote
be-nawai se apni behtar tha
be-makan hote be-nishan hote
ek jalwa hazar tasiren
kis ke kis ke mizaj-dan hote
rang-e-gulshan samajhne wale kyun
mutamanni aashiyan hote
ek haalat pe gar jahan rahta
dil ke arman wabaal-e-jaan hote
na mohabbat mein jaan se jate
na haqiqat ke raazdan hote
thak ke baiThe hain jada-e-gham mein
chalte rahte to hum kahan hote
baat banti agar qafas wale
ek dil hote ek zaban hote
parda-e-dausti mein jo milte
gham wo na-qabil-e-bayan hote
kash duniya ko chahne wale
dil-e-'bismil' ke raaz-dan hote
