hain kis liye udas koi puchhta nahin

haiñ kis liye udaas koī pūchhtā nahīñ

rasta ḳhud apne ghar kā hameñ sūjhtā nahīñ

naqsh-e-vafā kisī kā koī DhūñDhtā nahīñ

ahl-e-vafā kā phir bhī bharam TūTtā nahīñ

ahl-e-hunar kī baat thī ahl-e-nazar ke saath

ab to koī bhī un kī taraf dekhtā nahīñ

ham se huī ḳhatā to burā mānte ho kyuuñ

ham bhī to aadmī haiñ koī devtā nahīñ

dāman tumhārā haath se jaatā rahā magar

ik rishta-e-ḳhayāl hai ki TūTtā nahīñ

sūraj ke nuur par bhī añdheroñ kā raaj hai

ai 'dard' duur tak mujhe kuchh sūjhtā nahīñ

hain kis liye udas koi puchhta nahin

rasta KHud apne ghar ka hamein sujhta nahin

naqsh-e-wafa kisi ka koi DhunDhta nahin

ahl-e-wafa ka phir bhi bharam TuTta nahin

ahl-e-hunar ki baat thi ahl-e-nazar ke sath

ab to koi bhi un ki taraf dekhta nahin

hum se hui KHata to bura mante ho kyun

hum bhi to aadmi hain koi dewta nahin

daman tumhaara hath se jata raha magar

ek rishta-e-KHayal hai ki TuTta nahin

suraj ke nur par bhi andheron ka raj hai

ai 'dard' dur tak mujhe kuchh sujhta nahin
