mohabbat is liye zāhir nahīñ kī

ki tum ko e'tibār aa.e na aa.e

mohabbat is liye zahir nahin ki

ki tum ko e'tibar aae na aae

nahīñ hai der yahāñ apnī jaan jaane meñ

tumhāre aane kā bas intizār baaqī hai

nahin hai der yahan apni jaan jaane mein

tumhaare aane ka bas intizar baqi hai

na tasallī na tashaffī na dilāsā na vafā

umr ko kāTeñ tire chāhne vaale kyūñ-kar

na tasalli na tashaffi na dilasa na wafa

umr ko kaTen tere chahne wale kyun-kar

ḳhudā kā ghar bhī hai dil meñ butoñ kī chaah bhī hai

sanam-kada bhī hai dil apnā ḳhānqāh bhī hai

KHuda ka ghar bhi hai dil mein buton ki chah bhi hai

sanam-kada bhi hai dil apna KHanqah bhi hai

kuchh nahīñ ma.alūm hotā dil kī uljhan kā sabab

kis ko dekhā thā ilāhī baal suljhāte hue

kuchh nahin malum hota dil ki uljhan ka sabab

kis ko dekha tha ilahi baal suljhate hue
