ye asir-e-ranj-o-rahat mein asir-e-zulf-e-jaanana

ye asīr-e-ranj-o-rāhat meñ asīr-e-zulf-e-jānāna

bhalā kyā samajh sakegā mujhe nā samajh zamāna

maiñ janm janm kā piyāsā mirī tishnagī miTā.ī

tirā mai-kada salāmat nigah-e-qalandarāna

tujhe ḳhuld kī tamannā mujhe aarzū sanam kī

tirī fahm se hai baalā mirā ishq 'ārifāna

zarā dekh apne dil ko vo nihāñ hai tere dil meñ

jise kar rahā hai har sū tū talāsh-e-ġhā.ebāna

ġham-e-zindagī nahīñ hai mujhe fikr-e-dīñ nahīñ hai

dar-e-murtazā pe 'kāvish' jhukā sar hai 'ājizāna

ye asir-e-ranj-o-rahat mein asir-e-zulf-e-jaanana

bhala kya samajh sakega mujhe na samajh zamana

main janm janm ka piyasa meri tishnagi miTai

tera mai-kada salamat nigah-e-qalandarana

tujhe KHuld ki tamanna mujhe aarzu sanam ki

teri fahm se hai baala mera ishq 'arifana

zara dekh apne dil ko wo nihan hai tere dil mein

jise kar raha hai har su tu talash-e-ghaebana

gham-e-zindagi nahin hai mujhe fikr-e-din nahin hai

dar-e-murtaza pe 'kawish' jhuka sar hai 'ajizana
