chhanta hai KHak kya tu ghar banane ke liye

chhāntā hai ḳhaak kyā tū ghar banāne ke liye

fikr rahne kī na kar aayā hai jaane ke liye

aur ko kyā rañj duuñ rāhat uThāne ke liye

ek tinke ko na chheḌūñ āshiyāne ke liye

barq thī betāb mere āshiyāne ke liye

abr se bhī peshtar aa.e jalāne ke liye

kaam aa.ī murġh-e-gulshan ke mirī kāhīdgī

le gayā tinkā samajh kar āshiyāne ke liye

is chaman se gul chale bulbul garebāñ phaaḌ kar

hai junūñ tinke jo chunñe āshiyāne ke liye

ham ne kyuuñ māñgī thī gulshan meñ duā-e-josh-e-gul

ab jagah miltī nahīñ hai āshiyāne ke liye

phir vahī ham the vahī tum the mohabbat thī vahī

sulh kar lete agar āñkheñ laḌāne ke liye

huuñ vo ġham-dīda hañse koī to maiñ rone lagūñ

kuchh bahānā chāhiye aañsū bahāne ke liye

saaya paḌ jaa.e agar zulf-e-darāz-e-yār kā

phir kahūñ maiñ bhī tasalsul hai zamāne ke liye

huuñ vo dīvāna ki ban kar ho vo majnūñ kī shabīh

merī miTTī leñ agar lailā banāne ke liye

pahuñchī hai shāne talak kyā yaar kī zulf-e-rasā

dard kyuuñ paidā huā hai mere shāne ke liye

jumla-tan hai chashm-e-nargis yaar terī diid ko

gul hama-tan-gosh haiñ tere fasāne ke liye

yuuñ mirī qismat meñ thā parvāz karnā yā nasīb

nochte haiñ tifl par mere uḌāne ke liye

kaun hogā tere tīroñ kā nishāna mere ba.ad

ḳhaak le jaanā mirī tuuda banāne ke liye

bazm-e-ālam meñ khaḌā huuñ par chalā jaatā huuñ maiñ

siikh lī hai sham.a se raftār jaane ke liye

kyuuñ dil-e-betāb ko dikhlāyā ḳhāl-e-zer-e-zulf

daam meñ machhlī nahīñ aane kī daane ke liye

ho agar sar-gashtagī meñ fikr-e-ta.amīr-e-makāñ

ḳhaak uḌā laa.e bagūla ghar banāne ke liye

ab kisī gul-rū ke dil meñ kījiye ghar ai 'vazīr'

kyā chaman meñ tinke chuniye āshiyāne ke liye

chhanta hai KHak kya tu ghar banane ke liye

fikr rahne ki na kar aaya hai jaane ke liye

aur ko kya ranj dun rahat uThane ke liye

ek tinke ko na chheDun aashiyane ke liye

barq thi betab mere aashiyane ke liye

abr se bhi peshtar aae jalane ke liye

kaam aai murgh-e-gulshan ke meri kahidgi

le gaya tinka samajh kar aashiyane ke liye

is chaman se gul chale bulbul gareban phaD kar

hai junun tinke jo chunne aashiyane ke liye

hum ne kyun mangi thi gulshan mein dua-e-josh-e-gul

ab jagah milti nahin hai aashiyane ke liye

phir wahi hum the wahi tum the mohabbat thi wahi

sulh kar lete agar aankhen laDane ke liye

hun wo gham-dida hanse koi to main rone lagun

kuchh bahana chahiye aansu bahane ke liye

saya paD jae agar zulf-e-daraaz-e-yar ka

phir kahun main bhi tasalsul hai zamane ke liye

hun wo diwana ki ban kar ho wo majnun ki shabih

meri miTTi len agar laila banane ke liye

pahunchi hai shane talak kya yar ki zulf-e-rasa

dard kyun paida hua hai mere shane ke liye

jumla-tan hai chashm-e-nargis yar teri did ko

gul hama-tan-gosh hain tere fasane ke liye

yun meri qismat mein tha parwaz karna ya nasib

nochte hain tifl par mere uDane ke liye

kaun hoga tere tiron ka nishana mere baad

KHak le jaana meri tuda banane ke liye

bazm-e-alam mein khaDa hun par chala jata hun main

sikh li hai shama se raftar jaane ke liye

kyun dil-e-betab ko dikhlaya KHal-e-zer-e-zulf

dam mein machhli nahin aane ki dane ke liye

ho agar sar-gashtagi mein fikr-e-tamir-e-makan

KHak uDa lae bagula ghar banane ke liye

ab kisi gul-ru ke dil mein kijiye ghar ai 'wazir'

kya chaman mein tinke chuniye aashiyane ke liye
