chaman mein bulbulon ke jhurmuT kabhi idhar ko kabhi udhar ko

chaman meñ bulbuloñ ke jhurmuT kabhī idhar ko kabhī udhar ko

isī se hai gul ko bhī lagāvaT kabhī idhar ko kabhī udhar ko

ye kahiyo dekhā kiyā huuñ zālim uThā ke bālīñ se sar ko har dam

samajh ke paañv kī tere aahaT kabhī idhar ko kabhī udhar ko

tirī judā.ī meñ raat saarī sabā ye kahnā ba-āh-o-zārī

badalte guzrī hai mujh ko karvaT kabhī idhar ko kabhī udhar ko

bhalā batāo to ḳhalq kyuuñ kar do rasta rakkheñ na haat dil par

laḌātā hai añkhḌiyāñ vo naT-khaT kabhī idhar ko kabhī udhar ko

gayā jo gulshan meñ merā gul-rū to kaliyāñ phūloñ kī pā ke qaabū

balā.eñ letī haiñ us kī chaT-chaT kabhī idhar ko kabhī udhar ko

kabhī ye be-dil kabhī vo be-dil safā.ī honī hai in meñ mushkil

rahegī bāham yuuñ hī rukāvaT kabhī idhar ko kabhī udhar ko

ye kah do āshiq kā us sanam se dil-o-jigar ab ḳharāsh-e-ġham se

gire hai ashkoñ ke saath kaT kaT kabhī idhar ko kabhī udhar ko

ye hai nasheb-o-farāz-e-duniyā abas hai is kā ḳhayāl karnā

jahāñ meñ hote haiñ yuuñ hī jamghaT kabhī idhar ko kabhī udhar ko

jo dekhe kaalā to khā mare sam ye us ke mukhḌe pe 'aish' jis dam

havā se hotī hai zulf kī laT kabhī idhar ko kabhī udhar ko

chaman mein bulbulon ke jhurmuT kabhi idhar ko kabhi udhar ko

isi se hai gul ko bhi lagawaT kabhi idhar ko kabhi udhar ko

ye kahiyo dekha kiya hun zalim uTha ke baalin se sar ko har dam

samajh ke panw ki tere aahaT kabhi idhar ko kabhi udhar ko

teri judai mein raat sari saba ye kahna ba-ah-o-zari

badalte guzri hai mujh ko karwaT kabhi idhar ko kabhi udhar ko

bhala batao to KHalq kyun kar do rasta rakkhen na hat dil par

laData hai ankhDiyan wo naT-khaT kabhi idhar ko kabhi udhar ko

gaya jo gulshan mein mera gul-ru to kaliyan phulon ki pa ke qabu

balaen leti hain us ki chaT-chaT kabhi idhar ko kabhi udhar ko

kabhi ye be-dil kabhi wo be-dil safai honi hai in mein mushkil

rahegi baham yun hi rukawaT kabhi idhar ko kabhi udhar ko

ye kah do aashiq ka us sanam se dil-o-jigar ab KHarash-e-gham se

gire hai ashkon ke sath kaT kaT kabhi idhar ko kabhi udhar ko

ye hai nasheb-o-faraaz-e-duniya abas hai is ka KHayal karna

jahan mein hote hain yun hi jamghaT kabhi idhar ko kabhi udhar ko

jo dekhe kala to kha mare sam ye us ke mukhDe pe 'aish' jis dam

hawa se hoti hai zulf ki laT kabhi idhar ko kabhi udhar ko
