aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
ishq kā zauq-e-nazāra muft meñ badnām hai
husn ḳhud be-tāb hai jalva dikhāne ke liye
love is needlessly defamed that for vision it is keen
beauty is impatient too for its splendour to be seen
ishq ka zauq-e-nazara muft mein badnam hai
husn KHud be-tab hai jalwa dikhane ke liye
jo kahkashāñ sī nazar aatī haiñ mirī āñkheñ
guzishta shab ke ye aañsū haiñ jo sitāre hue
jo kahkashan si nazar aati hain meri aankhen
guzishta shab ke ye aansu hain jo sitare hue
dekhūñ to jurm aur na dekhūñ to kufr hai
ab kyā kahūñ jamāl-e-ruḳh-e-fitnagar ko maiñ
dekhun to jurm aur na dekhun to kufr hai
ab kya kahun jamal-e-ruKH-e-fitnagar ko main
yuuñ to apnoñ sā kuchh nahīñ is meñ
phir bhī ġhairoñ se vo alag sā hai
yun to apnon sa kuchh nahin is mein
phir bhi ghairon se wo alag sa hai
bichhaḌ ke tujh se kisī dūsre pe marnā hai
ye tajraba bhī isī zindagī meñ karnā hai
bichhaD ke tujh se kisi dusre pe marna hai
ye tajraba bhi isi zindagi mein karna hai
