ghair ulfat ka raaz kya jaane

ġhair ulfat kā raaz kyā jaane

lutf-e-nāz-o-niyāz kyā jaane

nīm-jānoñ pe kyā guzartī hai

nargis-e-nīm-bāz kyā jaane

mere tūl-e-shab-e-judā.ī ko

terī zulf-e-darāz kyā jaane

pāk-bāzān-e-mai-kada kā maqām

jo na ho pāk-bāz kyā jaane

dil hai us parde meñ koī varna

sham.a soz o gudāz kyā jaane

ham jo mastī meñ girte paḌte haiñ

zāhid aisī namāz kyā jaane

rāh-e-ulfat na jis ne tai kī ho

vo nasheb-o-farāz kyā jaane

jis ke dil meñ na soz ho vo 'jalīl'

kaif-e-āvāz-e-sāz kyā jaane

ghair ulfat ka raaz kya jaane

lutf-e-naz-o-niyaz kya jaane

nim-jaanon pe kya guzarti hai

nargis-e-nim-baz kya jaane

mere tul-e-shab-e-judai ko

teri zulf-e-daraaz kya jaane

pak-bazan-e-mai-kada ka maqam

jo na ho pak-baz kya jaane

dil hai us parde mein koi warna

shama soz o gudaz kya jaane

hum jo masti mein girte paDte hain

zahid aisi namaz kya jaane

rah-e-ulfat na jis ne tai ki ho

wo nasheb-o-faraaz kya jaane

jis ke dil mein na soz ho wo 'jalil'

kaif-e-awaz-e-saz kya jaane
