itne pur-maghz hain dalael kya

itne pur-maġhz haiñ dalā.el kyā

dil ko kar loge apne qaa.il kyā

phir vahī sar hai aur vahī tesha

'ishq kyā 'ishq ke masā.il kyā

raushnī raushnī pukārte ho

raushnī ke nahīñ masā.il kyā

roz maidān-e-jañg bantā huuñ

mujh meñ ābād haiñ qabā.il kyā

kis qadar arziyāñ guzārī haiñ

kabhī dekhī hai merī file kyā

haath phailānā koī kam to nahīñ

peT dikhlā.e tum ko saa.il kyā

baiThe ab kirchiyāñ sameTte ho

apne raste meñ ḳhud the haa.el kyā

rāt-bhar jāgte rahe haiñ daraḳht

koī panchhī huā hai ghāyal kyā

bāt-be-bāt hañs rahe ho 'munīr'

yuuñ asar ġham kā hogā zaa.il kyā

itne pur-maghz hain dalael kya

dil ko kar loge apne qail kya

phir wahi sar hai aur wahi tesha

'ishq kya 'ishq ke masail kya

raushni raushni pukarte ho

raushni ke nahin masail kya

roz maidan-e-jang banta hun

mujh mein aabaad hain qabail kya

kis qadar arziyan guzari hain

kabhi dekhi hai meri file kya

hath phailana koi kam to nahin

peT dikhlae tum ko sail kya

baiThe ab kirchiyan sameTte ho

apne raste mein KHud the hael kya

raat-bhar jagte rahe hain daraKHt

koi panchhi hua hai ghayal kya

baat-be-baat hans rahe ho 'munir'

yun asar gham ka hoga zail kya
