'ayāz' ik besh-qīmat sā tujhe nukta batātā huuñ

tum apne aap ko samjho ḳhudā kyā hai ḳhudā jaane

'ayaz' ek besh-qimat sa tujhe nukta batata hun

tum apne aap ko samjho KHuda kya hai KHuda jaane

laboñ par naam na aañsū hikāyat na shikāyat ho

asīr-e-zulf dīvāna hai dīvānā ye kyā jaane

labon par nam na aansu hikayat na shikayat ho

asir-e-zulf diwana hai diwana ye kya jaane

zindagī ko bech Daalā be-ḳhudī ke jaam par

ek hī sāġhar se dil kī tishnagī jaatī rahī

zindagi ko bech Dala be-KHudi ke jam par

ek hi saghar se dil ki tishnagi jati rahi

ḳhushī se choT khāne kā maza yā kaif-e-jāñ-sozī

koī jāñ-soz parvāna yā koī dil-jalā jaane

KHushi se choT khane ka maza ya kaif-e-jaan-sozi

koi jaan-soz parwana ya koi dil-jala jaane

jab tak ek hasīñ makīñ thā dil meñ har-sū phuul khile the

vo ujḌā to gulshan ujḌā aur huā ābād nahīñ hai

jab tak ek hasin makin tha dil mein har-su phul khile the

wo ujDa to gulshan ujDa aur hua aabaad nahin hai

rind huuñ ba-ḳhudā magar 'beḳhud' huuñ be-ḳhudā nahīñ

tum hī mere ho peshvā yā'nī ki nā-ḳhudā bhī tum

rind hun ba-KHuda magar 'beKHud' hun be-KHuda nahin

tum hi mere ho peshwa ya'ni ki na-KHuda bhi tum
