raqs-e-ashufta-sari ki koi tadbir sahi

raqs-e-āshuftā-sarī kī koī tadbīr sahī

lo mire paañv meñ ik aur bhī zanjīr sahī

imtihāñ is dil-e-pur-shauq kā karte rahiye

aur is jurm-e-vafā par koī tāzīr sahī

tān-o-dushnām se dīvāne na baaz ā.eñge

koī ilzām sahī tohmat-e-taqsīr sahī

ham to āvāra-e-sahrā haiñ hameñ kyā matlab

un kī mahfil meñ junūñ kī koī tauqīr sahī

har koī yūsuf-e-kan.āñ to nahīñ ban saktā

merā fardā hī mire ḳhvāb kī tābīr sahī

qāfile kitne hī manzil se bhaTak jaate haiñ

ham musāfir na sahī ham koī rah-gīr sahī

nāra-e-zulf-e-sanam shart-e-junūñ kyā ma.anī

dard rusvā hī sahī ishq jahāñgīr sahī

raqs-e-ashufta-sari ki koi tadbir sahi

lo mere panw mein ek aur bhi zanjir sahi

imtihan is dil-e-pur-shauq ka karte rahiye

aur is jurm-e-wafa par koi tazir sahi

tan-o-dushnam se diwane na baz aaenge

koi ilzam sahi tohmat-e-taqsir sahi

hum to aawara-e-sahra hain hamein kya matlab

un ki mahfil mein junun ki koi tauqir sahi

har koi yusuf-e-kanan to nahin ban sakta

mera farda hi mere KHwab ki tabir sahi

qafile kitne hi manzil se bhaTak jate hain

hum musafir na sahi hum koi rah-gir sahi

nara-e-zulf-e-sanam shart-e-junun kya mani

dard ruswa hi sahi ishq jahangir sahi
