aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
itnī miltī hai mirī ġhazloñ se sūrat terī
log tujh ko mirā mahbūb samajhte hoñge
itni milti hai meri ghazlon se surat teri
log tujh ko mera mahbub samajhte honge
but-ḳhāna toḌ Dāliye masjid ko Dhā.iye
dil ko na toḌiye ye ḳhudā kā maqām hai
you may excavate the temple, the mosque you may explode
do not break the heart of man, for this is God's abode
but-KHana toD Daliye masjid ko Dhaiye
dil ko na toDiye ye KHuda ka maqam hai
mujhe dushman se bhī ḳhuddārī kī ummīd rahtī hai
kisī kā bhī ho sar qadmoñ meñ sar achchhā nahīñ lagtā
mujhe dushman se bhi KHuddari ki ummid rahti hai
kisi ka bhi ho sar qadmon mein sar achchha nahin lagta
ab to chup-chāp shaam aatī hai
pahle chiḌiyoñ ke shor hote the
ab to chup-chap sham aati hai
pahle chiDiyon ke shor hote the
ibtidā se aaj tak 'nātiq' kī ye hai sarguzisht
pahle chup thā phir huā dīvāna ab behosh hai
ibtida se aaj tak 'natiq' ki ye hai sarguzisht
pahle chup tha phir hua diwana ab behosh hai
