chehre pe na ye naqab dekha

chehre pe na ye naqāb dekhā

parde meñ thā āftāb dekhā

kyuuñ kar na bikūñ maiñ haath us ke

yūsuf kī tarah maiñ ḳhvāb dekhā

kuchh maiñ hī nahīñ huuñ, ek aalam

us ke liye yaañ ḳharāb dekhā

dil tū ne abas likhā thā naama

jo un ne diyā javāb dekhā

be-jurm o gunāh qatl-e-āshiq

maz.hab meñ tire savāb dekhā

kuchh hove to ho adam meñ rāhat

hastī meñ to ham azaab dekhā

jis chashm ne mujh taraf nazar kī

us chashm ko maiñ pur-āb dekhā

hairān vo tere ishq meñ hai

yaañ ham ne jo shaiḳh o shaab dekhā

bhūlā hai vo dil se lutf us kā

'saudā' ne ye jab itaab dekhā

chehre pe na ye naqab dekha

parde mein tha aaftab dekha

kyun kar na bikun main hath us ke

yusuf ki tarah main KHwab dekha

kuchh main hi nahin hun, ek aalam

us ke liye yan KHarab dekha

dil tu ne abas likha tha nama

jo un ne diya jawab dekha

be-jurm o gunah qatl-e-ashiq

mazhab mein tere sawab dekha

kuchh howe to ho adam mein rahat

hasti mein to hum azab dekha

jis chashm ne mujh taraf nazar ki

us chashm ko main pur-ab dekha

hairan wo tere ishq mein hai

yan hum ne jo shaiKH o shab dekha

bhula hai wo dil se lutf us ka

'sauda' ne ye jab itab dekha
