dard se jaan churaate hue Dar lagta hai

dard se jaan churāte hue Dar lagtā hai

dil ko vīrān banāte hue Dar lagtā hai

chaar aañsū sar-e-mizhgāñ to koī baar nahīñ

ġham kī tauqīr ghaTāte hue Dar lagtā hai

log to baat kā afsāna banā dete haiñ

is liye lab bhī hilāte hue Dar lagtā hai

apnī hastī se na ho jā.ūñ kahīñ begāna

aap se rabt baḌhāte hue Dar lagtā hai

husn-e-be-pardā ke jalve bahut arzāñ haiñ magar

tohmat-e-dīd uThāte hue Dar lagtā hai

azmat-e-dair-o-haram kā na bharam khul jaa.e

sar tire dar pe jhukāte hue Dar lagtā hai

jis ke har lafz meñ hoñ ġham kī karāheñ 'manshā'

aisā afsāna sunāte hue Dar lagtā hai

dard se jaan churaate hue Dar lagta hai

dil ko viran banate hue Dar lagta hai

chaar aansu sar-e-mizhgan to koi bar nahin

gham ki tauqir ghaTate hue Dar lagta hai

log to baat ka afsana bana dete hain

is liye lab bhi hilate hue Dar lagta hai

apni hasti se na ho jaun kahin begana

aap se rabt baDhate hue Dar lagta hai

husn-e-be-parda ke jalwe bahut arzan hain magar

tohmat-e-did uThate hue Dar lagta hai

azmat-e-dair-o-haram ka na bharam khul jae

sar tere dar pe jhukate hue Dar lagta hai

jis ke har lafz mein hon gham ki karahen 'mansha'

aisa afsana sunate hue Dar lagta hai
