ek aalam hai ye hairani ka jina kaisa

ek aalam hai ye hairānī kā jiinā kaisā

kuchh nahīñ hone ko hai apnā ye honā kaisā

ḳhuun jamtā sā rag-o-pai meñ hue shal ehsās

dekhe jaatī hai nazar haul tamāshā kaisā

regzāroñ meñ sarāboñ ke sivā kyā miltā

ye to mālūm thā hai ab ye achambhā kaisā

aable paañv ke sab phuuT bahe be-nishtar

raas aayā hameñ in ḳhāroñ pe chalnā kaisā

phir kabhī socheñge sach kyā hai abhī to sun leñ

log kis kis ke liye kahte haiñ kaisā kaisā

suuī āñkhoñ kī bhī maiñ ne hī nikālī thī magar

dekh ke bhī mujhe us ne nahīñ dekhā kaisā

kitnī saada thī hathelī mirī rañgīn huī

merī uñglī meñ utar aayā hai kāñTā kaisā

ā.īna dekhiye 'bilqīs' yahī haiñ kyā aap

aap ne apnā banā rakkhā hai huliya kaisā

ek aalam hai ye hairani ka jina kaisa

kuchh nahin hone ko hai apna ye hona kaisa

KHun jamta sa rag-o-pai mein hue shal ehsas

dekhe jati hai nazar haul tamasha kaisa

regzaron mein sarabon ke siwa kya milta

ye to malum tha hai ab ye achambha kaisa

aable panw ke sab phuT bahe be-nishtar

ras aaya hamein in KHaron pe chalna kaisa

phir kabhi sochenge sach kya hai abhi to sun len

log kis kis ke liye kahte hain kaisa kaisa

sui aankhon ki bhi main ne hi nikali thi magar

dekh ke bhi mujhe us ne nahin dekha kaisa

kitni sada thi hatheli meri rangin hui

meri ungli mein utar aaya hai kanTa kaisa

aaina dekhiye 'bilqis' yahi hain kya aap

aap ne apna bana rakkha hai huliya kaisa
