apne aap se bhi duniya mein begana ban jata hai

apne aap se bhī duniyā meñ begāna ban jaatā hai

tum jis ko dīvāna kah do dīvāna ban jaatā hai

dil kā aanā ek qayāmat jitne muñh utnī bāteñ

hotī hai ik baat zarā sī afsāna ban jaatā hai

jām-o-subū kī qaid nahīñ hai pīr-e-muġhāñ kī shart nahīñ

rind jahāñ sāġhar chhalkā deñ mai-ḳhāna ban jaatā hai

ishq kā bhī anjām vahī hai husn kā bhī anjām vahī

jalte jalte sham.a kā dil bhī parvāna ban jaatā hai

jis gulshan par paḌ jaatā hai partav aap kī āñkhoñ kā

us gulshan kā ġhuncha ġhuncha paimāna ban jaatā hai

bhūlī-bisrī yādoñ ke yuuñ naqsh ubharte rahte haiñ

ka.aba in tasvīroñ se hī but-ḳhāna ban jaatā hai

dil kā raaz chhupā letā hai ḳhāmoshī ke parde meñ

had se guzar kar dīvāna bhī farzāna ban jaatā hai

ḳhūn-e-jigar se rangīñ ho kar jo palkoñ tak aa jaa.e

vo aañsū darbār-e-vafā meñ nazrāna ban jaatā hai

sahrā gulshan ban jaate haiñ dil ho agar ābād 'tufail'

dil ujḌe to gulshan gulshan vīrāna ban jaatā hai

apne aap se bhi duniya mein begana ban jata hai

tum jis ko diwana kah do diwana ban jata hai

dil ka aana ek qayamat jitne munh utni baaten

hoti hai ek baat zara si afsana ban jata hai

jam-o-subu ki qaid nahin hai pir-e-mughan ki shart nahin

rind jahan saghar chhalka den mai-KHana ban jata hai

ishq ka bhi anjam wahi hai husn ka bhi anjam wahi

jalte jalte shama ka dil bhi parwana ban jata hai

jis gulshan par paD jata hai partaw aap ki aankhon ka

us gulshan ka ghuncha ghuncha paimana ban jata hai

bhuli-bisri yaadon ke yun naqsh ubharte rahte hain

kaba in taswiron se hi but-KHana ban jata hai

dil ka raaz chhupa leta hai KHamoshi ke parde mein

had se guzar kar diwana bhi farzana ban jata hai

KHun-e-jigar se rangin ho kar jo palkon tak aa jae

wo aansu darbar-e-wafa mein nazrana ban jata hai

sahra gulshan ban jate hain dil ho agar aabaad 'tufail'

dil ujDe to gulshan gulshan virana ban jata hai
