but apne-ap ko kya jaane kya samajhte hain

but apne-āp ko kyā jaane kyā samajhte haiñ

mirā ḳhudā unheñ samjhe ḳhudā samajhte haiñ

adā-shanās kī apne adā samajhte haiñ

ki be-kahe vo mirā mudda.ā samajhte haiñ

samajhne vaale tumhārī adā samajhte haiñ

vo aur kuchh hai jise sab qazā samajhte haiñ

falak kā naam na le koī sāmne un ke

vo us ke zikr ko apnā gilā samajhte haiñ

mujhe ye aap ke sar kī qasam na thā ma.alūm

ki aap bhī rah-o-rasm-e-vafā samajhte haiñ

ye shoḳhiyāñ bhī hasīnoñ kī kyā qayāmat haiñ

shab-e-visāl ko roz-e-jazā samajhte haiñ

ye din shabāb ke haiñ koī kyā kahe un ko

abhī vo kuchh nahīñ achchhā burā samajhte haiñ

tumhāre kho.e huoñ kā ajiib maslak hai

jo rāhzan bhī mile rahnumā samajhte haiñ

shab-e-visāl mire ham-nashīñ se farmāyā

yahī to haiñ jo hameñ bevafā samajhte haiñ

ḳhudā kare kahīñ mauqe se mujh ko mil jaa.eñ

yahī hasīñ jo mujhe pārsā samajhte haiñ

hameñ ye haq hai tirā muñh bhī chūmte jaa.eñ

ki tere shikva-e-bejā bajā samajhte haiñ

na man.a kar mai-o-māshūq se hameñ vaa.iz

ki ham shabāb meñ sab kuchh ravā samajhte haiñ

ḳhudā kī shaan ye koThoñ ke baiThne vaale

hamārī aah ko ab nā-rasā samajhte haiñ

'riyāz' ishq meñ kāfir butoñ ke hai be-ḳhud

mazā ye hai vo use pārsā samajhte haiñ

but apne-ap ko kya jaane kya samajhte hain

mera KHuda unhen samjhe KHuda samajhte hain

ada-shanas ki apne ada samajhte hain

ki be-kahe wo mera muddaa samajhte hain

samajhne wale tumhaari ada samajhte hain

wo aur kuchh hai jise sab qaza samajhte hain

falak ka nam na le koi samne un ke

wo us ke zikr ko apna gila samajhte hain

mujhe ye aap ke sar ki qasam na tha malum

ki aap bhi rah-o-rasm-e-wafa samajhte hain

ye shoKHiyan bhi hasinon ki kya qayamat hain

shab-e-visal ko roz-e-jaza samajhte hain

ye din shabab ke hain koi kya kahe un ko

abhi wo kuchh nahin achchha bura samajhte hain

tumhaare khoe huon ka ajib maslak hai

jo rahzan bhi mile rahnuma samajhte hain

shab-e-visal mere ham-nashin se farmaya

yahi to hain jo hamein bewafa samajhte hain

KHuda kare kahin mauqe se mujh ko mil jaen

yahi hasin jo mujhe parsa samajhte hain

hamein ye haq hai tera munh bhi chumte jaen

ki tere shikwa-e-beja baja samajhte hain

na mana kar mai-o-mashuq se hamein waiz

ki hum shabab mein sab kuchh rawa samajhte hain

KHuda ki shan ye koThon ke baiThne wale

hamari aah ko ab na-rasa samajhte hain

'riyaz' ishq mein kafir buton ke hai be-KHud

maza ye hai wo use parsa samajhte hain
