kafir-e-ishq hun main banda-e-islam nahin

kāfir-e-ishq huuñ maiñ banda-e-islām nahīñ

but-parastī ke sivā aur mujhe kaam nahīñ

ishq meñ pūjtā huuñ qibla-o-ka.aba apnā

ek pal dil ko mire us ke bin ārām nahīñ

DhūñDhtā hai tū kidhar yaar ko mere ai maah

manzilash dar dil-e-mā hasat lab-e-bām nahīñ

bul-havas ishq ko tū ḳhāna-e-ḳhālī mat buujh

is kā āġhāz to āsān hai anjām nahīñ

phāñsne ko dil-e-ushshāq ke ulfat bas hai

gher lene ko ye tasḳhīr kam-az-dām nahīñ

kaam ho jaa.e tamām us kā paḌe jis pe nigāh

tishna-e-chashm ko phir hājat-e-samsām nahīñ

abr hai jaam hai miinā hai mai-e-gul-gūñ hai

hai sab asbāb-e-tarab sāqī-e-gulfām nahīñ

hāye-re-hāye chalī jaatī hai ye fasl-e-bahār

kyā karūñ bas nahīñ apnā vo sanam raam nahīñ

jaan jaatī hai chalī dekh ke ye mausam-e-gul

hijar-o-furqat kā mirī jaan ye gulfām nahīñ

dil ke lene hī talak mehr kī thī ham pe nigāh

phir jo dekhā to ba-juz ġhussa-o-dushnām nahīñ

rāt-din ġham se tire hijar ke laḌtā hai 'niyāz'

ye dil-āzārī mirī jaan bhalā kaam nahīñ

kafir-e-ishq hun main banda-e-islam nahin

but-parasti ke siwa aur mujhe kaam nahin

ishq mein pujta hun qibla-o-kaba apna

ek pal dil ko mere us ke bin aaram nahin

DhunDhta hai tu kidhar yar ko mere ai mah

manzilash dar dil-e-ma hasat lab-e-baam nahin

bul-hawas ishq ko tu KHana-e-KHali mat bujh

is ka aaghaz to aasan hai anjam nahin

phansne ko dil-e-ushshaq ke ulfat bas hai

gher lene ko ye tasKHir kam-az-dam nahin

kaam ho jae tamam us ka paDe jis pe nigah

tishna-e-chashm ko phir hajat-e-samsam nahin

abr hai jam hai mina hai mai-e-gul-gun hai

hai sab asbab-e-tarab saqi-e-gulfam nahin

haye-re-haye chali jati hai ye fasl-e-bahaar

kya karun bas nahin apna wo sanam ram nahin

jaan jati hai chali dekh ke ye mausam-e-gul

hijar-o-furqat ka meri jaan ye gulfam nahin

dil ke lene hi talak mehr ki thi hum pe nigah

phir jo dekha to ba-juz ghussa-o-dushnam nahin

raat-din gham se tere hijar ke laDta hai 'niyaz'

ye dil-azari meri jaan bhala kaam nahin
