is tariqe ko adawat mein rawa rakhta hun main

is tarīqe ko adāvat meñ ravā rakhtā huuñ maiñ

apne dushman ke liye harf-e-duā rakhtā huuñ maiñ

maiñ faqīrī meñ bhī ahl-e-zar se behtar hī rahā

kuchh nahīñ rakhtā magar nām-e-ḳhudā rakhtā huuñ maiñ

maiñ kabhī tanhā nahīñ hotā sar-e-kunj-e-chaman

vo na hoñ to haath meñ dast-e-sabā rakhtā huuñ maiñ

maiñ ne kam khoyā sivā paayā hai kār-e-ishq meñ

dil jahāñ thā ab vahāñ ik dil-rubā rakhtā huuñ maiñ

jaane kab aa jaa.e vo sahbā misāl-e-fasl-e-gul

is liye vīrāna-e-dil ko sajā rakhtā huuñ maiñ

is tariqe ko adawat mein rawa rakhta hun main

apne dushman ke liye harf-e-dua rakhta hun main

main faqiri mein bhi ahl-e-zar se behtar hi raha

kuchh nahin rakhta magar nam-e-KHuda rakhta hun main

main kabhi tanha nahin hota sar-e-kunj-e-chaman

wo na hon to hath mein dast-e-saba rakhta hun main

main ne kam khoya siwa paya hai kar-e-ishq mein

dil jahan tha ab wahan ek dil-ruba rakhta hun main

jaane kab aa jae wo sahba misal-e-fasl-e-gul

is liye virana-e-dil ko saja rakhta hun main
